Risk Culture during the Last 2000 Years—From an Aleatory Society to the Illusion of Risk Control
International Journal of Financial Studies, 2017 The culture of risk is 2000 years old, although the term “risk” developed much later. The culture of merchants making decisions under uncertainty and taking the individual responsibility for the uncertain future started with the Roman “Aleatory Society”,

Self-consistent Models of Y Dwarf Atmospheres with Water Clouds and Disequilibrium Chemistry [PDF]
, 2023 Y dwarfs are the coolest spectral class of brown dwarf. They have effective temperatures less than 500 K, with the coolest detection as low as ~250 K. Their spectra are shaped predominantly by gaseous water, methane, and ammonia. At the warmer end of the Y dwarf temperature range, spectral signatures of disequilibrium carbon monoxide have been observed.

The infrared colors of 51 Eridani b: micrometereoid dust or chemical disequilibrium? [PDF]
, 2023 We reanalyze near-infrared spectra of the young extrasolar giant planet 51 Eridani b which was originally presented in (Macintosh et al. 2015) and (Rajan et al. 2017) using modern atmospheric models which include a self-consistent treatment of disequilibrium chemistry due to turbulent vertical mixing.

Rényi’s Entropy, Statistical Order and van der Waals Gas
Entropy, 2022 The notion of statistical order derives from the disequilibrium concept introduced by López-Ruiz, Mancini, and Calbet thirty years ago. In this effort, it is shown that the disequilibrium is intimately linked to the celebrated Rényi entropy.

A Systematic Retrieval Analysis of Secondary Eclipse Spectra III: Diagnosing Chemical Disequilibrium in Planetary Atmospheres [PDF]
, 2013 Chemical disequilibrium has recently become a relevant topic in the study of the atmospheres of of transiting extrasolar planets, brown dwarfs, and directly imaged exoplanets. We present a new way of assessing whether or not a Jovian-like atmosphere is in chemical disequilibrium from observations of detectable or inferred gases such as H$_2$O, CH$_4 ...

Adult Education Confronting White Christian Nationalism: A Thematic Analysis
New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As a way to conclude, this article elaborates key themes that emerged from the collected articles in this volume. Each article carries its own important message about the role of adult education in confronting White Christian nationalism, while here, Prins and Carr‐Chellman offer a thematic interpretation of the volume as a whole. These themes

Optimal linkage disequilibrium splitting [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2021 AbstractMotivationA few algorithms have been developed for splitting the genome in nearly independent blocks of linkage disequilibrium. Due to the complexity of this problem, these algorithms rely on heuristics, which makes them suboptimal.ResultsHere, we develop an optimal solution for this problem using dynamic programming.AvailabilityThis is now ...

Coffee Consumption Is Associated With Later Age‐at‐Onset of Parkinson's Disease
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Observation studies suggest that coffee consumption may lower the risk and delay the age‐at‐onset (AAO) of Parkinson's disease (PD). The aim of this study was to explore the causal relationship and genetic association between coffee consumption and the AAO, risk, and progression of PD. Using Mendelian randomization, we identified a significant
