The Effectiveness of Interventions Addressing Conspiracy Beliefs: A Meta‐Analysis

European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reducing conspiracy beliefs through effective interventions may help mitigate potential harmful consequences, such as vaccine hesitancy and prejudice. Therefore, a systematic literature search was conducted in Web of Science, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar for experiments testing interventions that could potentially reduce conspiracy beliefs ...

Structural Health Monitoring of a Unidirectional Isolation Bridge: Bidirectional Seismic Behavior, Stochastic Model Updating, and Prediction

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurate mechanical characterization of civil engineering structures after construction remains challenging due to the unique complexities of each structure, including geometric configurations, imperfect design modeling assumptions, soil conditions, and pervasive uncertainties in actual operational environments. Leveraging actual measurements,

Modeling the Probability of Tsunami Fire Ignition Based on Data From the 2011 Tohoku and 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquakes, With Recommendations to Reduce Emerging Fire Risk in Tsunami Vertical Evacuation Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent tsunamigenic earthquakes in Japan have highlighted the emerging fire hazard triggered by tsunami inundation and its impact on tsunami vertical evacuation (TVE) structures. This new type of fire following earthquake, referred to as “tsunami fires,” may be a potential universal hazard that tsunami‐prone countries face; however, it has not

Time‐ and State‐Dependent Damage Accumulation Due to Aftershocks Under an M9.0 Megathrust Earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study develops a comprehensive framework for assessing time and state‐dependent aftershock damage accumulation under an M9.0 megathrust interface earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The framework integrates aftershock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (APSHA) and state‐dependent fragility analysis (SDFA) within a ...

Symbulate: Simulation in the Language of Probability

Journal of Statistics Education, 2019
Simulation is an effective tool for analyzing probability models as well as for facilitating understanding of concepts in probability and statistics. Unfortunately, implementing a simulation from scratch often requires users to think about programming ...

Forecasting Carbon Prices: A Literature Review

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carbon emissions trading is utilized by a growing number of states as a significant tool for addressing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), global warming problem and the climate crisis. Accurate forecasting of carbon prices is essential for effective policy design and investment strategies in climate change mitigation.

On Sampling Colorings of Bipartite Graphs

Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2006
We study the problem of efficiently sampling k-colorings of bipartite graphs. We show that a class of markov chains cannot be used as efficient samplers.

Algorithmic Analysis of Queuing System with Varying Number of Servers, Phase-Type Service Time Distribution, and Changeable Arrival Process Depending on Random Environment

Computation
An MAP/PH/N-type queuing system functioning within a finite-state Markovian random environment is studied. The random environment’s state impacts the number of available servers, the underlying processes of customer arrivals and service, and the ...

Variable length Markov chains and dynamical sources

, 2010
Infinite random sequences of letters can be viewed as stochastic chains or as strings produced by a source, in the sense of information theory. The relationship between Variable Length Markov Chains (VLMC) and probabilistic dynamical sources is studied ...

A Comparison of Realized Measures of Integrated Volatility: Price Duration‐ vs. Return‐Based Approaches

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the accuracy of a variety of parametric price duration‐based realized variance estimators constructed via various financial duration models and compare their forecasting performance with the performance of various nonparametric return‐based realized variance estimators.
