A Biologically‐Architected Wear and Damage‐Resistant Nanoparticle Coating From the Radular Teeth of Cryptochiton stelleri

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The ultrahard teeth of mollusks that feed on rocky substrates contain a wear‐resistant coating on their surfaces consisting of densely packed mesocrystalline magnetic nanoparticles within an organic matrix. These coatings display significant hardness and toughness through their highly controlled mesocrystalline architectures.

Extreme Returns From Extreme Value Stocks

The Journal of Investing, 2005
Investigations into value-based ‘anomalies’ such as the P/E effect typically sort shares into quintiles, or at most deciles. These are blunt instruments. We test whether most of the extra value in the lower end of the P/E spectrum is to be found in the very lowest P/E shares, and whether the worst investments reside in the few shares with the highest P/

Testing Extreme Value Conditions

Extremes, 2002
A modification of the Cramér-von Mises statistics for testing the tail behaviour of i.i.d. sample CDF \(F\) is considered. Its version for nonnegative tail index \(\gamma\) is of the form \[ T_{k,n}=\int \left( {1\over \hat\gamma} (\log X_{n-[kt],n}-\log X_{n-k,n})+\log t \right)^2 t^2\, dt, \] where \(X_{i,n}\) is the \(i\)th order statistics, \(\hat ...

*-Extremal valued fields

Siberian Mathematical Journal, 2004
Summary: It is shown that every finite-dimensional skew field whose center is an extremal valued field is defect free. We construct an example of an algebraically complete valued field such that a finite-dimensional skew field over it has a non-trivial defect, that is, there exist algebraically complete valued fields that are not extremal.

Testing Extreme Value Models

Extremes, 2000
For the extreme value distribution (EVD) and the generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) with scale and location parameters asymptotically uniformly optimal tests for one-sided and two-sided hypotheses on the shape parameter are considered. Using the local asymptotic normality (LAN) property the author derives the asymptotic power of the tests under ...

Extreme Value Models

2019
This chapter discusses a statistical modeling strategy based on extreme value theory to describe the behavior of data far in the tails of the distributions, with a particular emphasis on large claims in property and casualty insurance and mortality at oldest ages in life insurance.

Modeling Extreme Values

2003
One of the goals of financial risk management is the accurate calculation of the magnitudes and probabilities of large potential losses due to extreme events such as stock market crashes, currency crises, trading scandals, or large bond defaults. In statistical terms, these magnitudes and probabilities are high quantiles and tail probabilities of the ...

Extreme Value Statistics

2018
This Capstone chapter illustrates how concepts in the book come together to diagnose real-world dynamics from observed time series data. In particular, we apply NLTS to diagnose multi-strain infectious disease dynamics from weekly cases of scarlet fever, measles, and pertussis in New York during the pre-vaccine period 1924-1948.
