The Herfindahl neutral point: A firm‐level threshold for managing market concentration with evidence from US hog packing

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper derives a firm‐level threshold, the Herfindahl Neutral Point, from the standard concentration index used in merger review. At this threshold, a marginal expansion leaves the index unchanged. Firms below the threshold reduce concentration when they expand; firms above it increase concentration.

On optimization of calibrations of a distributed hydrological model with spatially distributed information on snow [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences
In northern cold-temperate countries, a large portion of annual streamflow is produced by spring snowmelt, which often triggers floods. It is important to have spatial information about snow variables such as snow water equivalent (SWE), which can be ...

Pearl's causality for integrating ecological datasets: A case study on Myricaria germanica in northern Italy

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Applied ecology can significantly influence policy decisions on environmental issues. Therefore, research in this field should be as transparent and reproducible as possible. Existing expertise from a broad range of disciplines should also be integrated into ecological research to allow researchers to maximize understanding of complex ...

Using SIMGRO for drought analysis – as demonstrated for the Taquari Basin, Brazil [PDF]

open access: yes
Tools were developed and tested to quantify space–time development of droughts at the river basin scale. The spatial development of a hydrological drought in river basins brings different challenges to describe drought characteristics, such as: area in a

Rainfall modeling for integrating radar information into hydrological model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A spatial rainfall model was applied to radar data of air mass thunderstorms to yield a rainstorm representation as a set of convective rain cells. The modeled rainfall was used as input into hydrological model, instead of the standard radar-grid data ...

Neuroanatomical diversity in Teleocichla with new volumetric and histological insights into the encephalon of Teleocichla monogramma Kullander 1988

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Teleocichla comprises small cichlids that inhabit the rapid streams of Amazonian rivers; however, there has been limited research on their encephalon morphology. This study examined the neuroanatomy of four species, focusing on volumetric measurements of their encephalon subregions, and providing a histological description of the encephalon of

Utilizing Satellite Surface Soil Moisture Data in Calibrating a Distributed Hydrological Model Applied in Humid Regions Through a Multi-Objective Bayesian Hierarchical Framework

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
The traditional calibration objective of hydrological models is to optimize streamflow simulations. To identify the value of satellite soil moisture data in calibrating hydrological models, a new objective of optimizing soil moisture simulations has been

Model based distributed water balance monitoring of the White Volta catchment in West Africa through coupled meteorological-hydrological simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Sustainable water management requires the quantification of the spatial and temporal changes of water balance variables. Fully distributed hydrological simulations of these variables are especially in regions with weak infrastructure challenging, because
