Market or roadway mayhem? A fundamental supply chain dilemma [PDF]
, 2023 The boom-and-bust market dynamics of the trucking industry can have the feel of a Greek tragedy—everyone can see the inevitable ending, but no one is free to take a different path that avoids the fall. Worse yet, the end restarts the cycle.

Regional variation in the pronunciation of /s/ in the Dutch language area [PDF]
, 2019 This paper reports on an explorative sociophonetic study of the phoneme /s/ in the Dutch language area. Our aim is to investigate the regional variation in the realisation of this phoneme, and to test experimentally the observation of Collins & Mees ...

Complete Axiomatization for the Total Variation Distance of Markov Chains [PDF]
Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science, 2018 We propose a complete axiomatization for the total variation distance of finite labelled Markov chains. Our axiomatization is given in the form of a quantitative deduction system, a framework recently proposed by Mardare, Panangaden, and Plotkin (LICS 2016) to extend classical equational deduction systems by means of inferences of equality relations t ...

Infectious Duration Time Distributions of an Epidemic Chain Binomial Model [PDF]
The Egyptian Statistical Journal, 1988 A chain binomial Model is considered by assuming that, in a household of size N, the probability of Pat being infected by contact with a given infective is {1- exp (-λt)}, where t is the infectious duration period, λ is the infection rate of that ...

Investigation of dynamic influences in tilted-wave interferometry [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 Aspherical and freeform lenses allow for compact optical systems and have therefore gained high interest in optics. The interferometric measurement of these forms is a challenge, for which the tilted-wave interferometer (TWI) has been developed.

The study of chain link/guide contact in relative alternative translational motion
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017 The paper presents the study of the chain link/guide contact in relative alternative motion, by performing test and finite elements modeling. According to these, the paper presents the variation of the dynamic friction coefficient at the contact between ...

BMC Plant Biology, 2017 Background Although starch consists of large macromolecules composed of glucose units linked by α-1,4-glycosidic linkages with α-1,6-glycosidic branchpoints, variation in starch structural and functional properties is found both within and between ...

Coupling control variates for Markov chain Monte Carlo [PDF]
Journal of Computational Physics, 2009 We show that Markov couplings can be used to improve the accuracy of Markov chain Monte Carlo calculations in some situations where the steady-state probability distribution is not explicitly known. The technique generalizes the notion of control variates from classical Monte Carlo integration.

Aspects of Linguistic Variation [PDF]
, 2018 This volume brings together papers on linguistic variation. It takes a broad perspective, covering not only crosslinguistic and diachronic but also intralinguistic and interspeaker variation, and examines phenomena ranging from negation and TAM over ...

International Variation in Criteria for Internal Mammary Chain Radiotherapy [PDF]
Clinical Oncology, 2019 Evidence has emerged that internal mammary chain (IMC) radiotherapy reduces breast cancer mortality, leading to changes in treatment guidelines. This study investigated current IMC radiotherapy criteria and the percentages of patients irradiated for breast cancer in England who fulfilled them.A systematic search was undertaken for national guidelines ...
