Prior for Structural Materials

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
The construction of a library containing prior cross sections and related covariance matrices for nine frequently measured reaction channels of 276 structural materials from 1 to 150 MeV is presented.

Microscale Mapping of Fiber Strain and Damage in Composite Wrinkled Laminates Using Computed Tomography Assisted Wide‐Angle X‐Ray Scattering

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study combines full‐field tomography with diffraction mapping to quantify radial (ε002$\varepsilon _{002}$) and axial (ε100$\varepsilon _{100}$) lattice strain in wrinkled carbon‐fiber specimens for the first time. Radial microstrain gradients (−14.5 µεMPa$\varepsilon \mathrm{MPa}$−1) are found to signal damage‐prone zones ahead of failure, which ...

Portfolio risk measurement: the estimation of the covariance of stock returns [PDF]

open access: yes
A covariance matrix of asset returns plays an important role in modern portfolio analysis and risk management. Despite the recent interests in improving the estimation of a return covariance matrix, there remain many areas for further investigation. This

Unconstrained Metropolis–Hastings Sampling of Covariance Matrices

open access: yesJournal of Probability and Statistics
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), the predominant algorithm for fitting hierarchal models to data in a Bayesian setting, relies on the ability to sample from the full conditional distributions of unobserved parameters.

Natural Variation of NAR5 Determines Nitrogenase Activity and the Yield in Soybean

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identified NAR5, a gene encoding a subtilisin‐like protease, that regulates nitrogenase activity in soybean nodules. Overexpressing NAR5 delayed nodule senescence, enhancing nitrogenase activity, yield, and low‐nitrogen tolerance. The elite haplotype NAR5HapI‐1 linked to superior nitrogenase activity and greater seed weight has been ...

Large‐Scale Genomics Reveals Three‐Source Ancestry and Layered Adaptation to High Altitude in Tibetan Chickens

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Whole‐genome analysis of 1,054 chickens reveals three ancestral sources (NWC, SYA, and SHF) with distinct temporal entry patterns into the Tibetan Plateau. Route‐specific selection scans, calibrated against a demographic null, suggest complementary functional enrichments—vascular homeostasis (NWC), calcium signaling and cardiac adaptation (SYA), and ...

Orthogonal Methods for Generating Large Positive Semi-Definite Covariance Matrices [PDF]

open access: yes
It is a common problem in risk management today that risk measures and pricing models are being applied to a very large set of scenarios based on movements in all possible risk factors.

Circulant matrices on global data analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this thesis, we investigate the unbiasedness of the commonly used covariance and variogram estimators when the underlying process is assumed to be stationary on the circle or axially symmetric on the sphere. We represent both estimators as a quadratic
