Contests with size effects [PDF]

open access: possibleEuropean Journal of Political Economy, 2004
In this paper we analyze the structure of contest equilibria with a variable number of individuals. First we analyze a situation where the total prize depends on the number of agents and where every single agent faces opportunity costs of investing in the contest.

Eco-friendly magnetic biochar: An effective trap for nanoplastics of varying surface functionality and size in the aqueous environment

, 2021
The surge in nano/microplastics (NPs/MPs) through myriad daily products released in the aqueous environment highlights the importance of the urgent development of mitigation techniques.

Effect sizes and effect size benchmarks in family violence research

Child Abuse & Neglect, 2023
Scholarly journals increasingly request that authors include effect size (ES) estimates when reporting statistical results. However, there is little guidance on how authors should interpret ESs. Consequently, some authors do not provide ES interpretations, or, when interpretations are provided, they often fail to use appropriate reference groups, using

The Genetic Effective Size of a Population

Oxford Scholarship Online, 2018
The effects of genetic drift usually assume an idealized population of constant size. This chapter shows how the population size for such an idealized population can be replaced with an effective population size for populations with age structure ...

Effect size analysis

2013 1st International Workshop on Data Analysis Patterns in Software Engineering (DAPSE), 2013
When we seek insight in collected data we are most often forced to limit our measurements to a portion of all individuals that can be hypothetically considered for observation. Nevertheless, as researchers, we want to draw more general conclusions that are valid beyond the restricted subset we are currently analyzing.

On Fractals and Size Effects

International Journal of Fracture, 2006
Following an extensive and critical review of fractals and size effects models, this paper seeks to generalize Bažant’s size effect law to fractal cohesive cracks. This is achieved through a Newtonian approach in which the cohesive and far field stress intensity factors of fractal cracks (derived by Yavari) are set equal.
