A New Effort to Diversify Faculty: Postdoc-to-Tenure Track Conversion Models [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
Calls to diversify the professoriate have been ongoing for decades. However, despite increasing numbers of scholars from underrepresented racial minority groups earning doctorates, actual progress in transitioning to faculty has been slow, particularly ...

Multi-state models for evaluating conversion options in life insurance [PDF]

Modern Stochastics: Theory and Applications, 2017
In this paper we propose a multi-state model for the evaluation of the conversion option contract. The multi-state model is based on age-indexed semi-Markov chains that are able to reproduce many important aspects that influence the valuation of the ...

Effects of Tissue Preservation on Carbon and Nitrogen Stable Isotope Signatures in Syngnathid Fishes and Prey

Animals, 2020
Isotopic stable analysis (SIA) is a powerful tool in the assessment of different types of ecological and physiological studies. For that, different preservation methods for sampled materials are commonly used prior to isotopic analysis.
