THE EXTREME HOSTS OF EXTREME SUPERNOVAE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2010 We use GALEX ultraviolet (UV) and optical integrated photometry of the hosts of seventeen luminous supernovae (LSNe, having peak M_V < -21) and compare them to a sample of 26,000 galaxies from a cross-match between the SDSS DR4 spectral catalog and GALEX interim release 1.1.

Extremism and the Extreme Personality
, 2023 Abstract Behavioral extremism takes different forms and shapes, including violent extremism, extreme dieting, extreme passion, and extreme infatuations. The authors look at these various behaviors through the lens of the goal systems theory and argue that all cases of extremism stem from motivational imbalance whereby a given need (or a ...

Which Extreme Values Are Really Extreme? [PDF]
Journal of Financial Econometrics, 2004 We define the extreme values of any random sample of size n from a distribution function F as the observations exceeding a threshold and following a type of generalized Pareto distribution (GPD) involving the tail index of F. The threshold is the order statistic that minimizes a Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic between the empirical distribution of the ...

On the Existence of an Extremal Function in the Delsarte Extremal Problem [PDF]
Mediterranean Journal of Mathematics, 2020 AbstractThis paper is concerned with a Delsarte-type extremal problem. Denote by$${\mathcal {P}}(G)$$P(G)the set of positive definite continuous functions on a locally compact abelian groupG. We consider the function class, which was originally introduced by Gorbachev,$$\begin{aligned}&{\mathcal {G}}(W, Q)_G = \left\{ f \in {\mathcal {P}}(G) \cap L^

Urbanization alters rainfall extremes over the contiguous United States
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Anthropogenic changes are likely to intensify rainfall extremes, posing a risk to human, environmental and urban systems. Understanding the impact of urbanization on rainfall extremes is critical for both reliable climate projections as well as ...

Evaluating the Simulation of CONUS Precipitation by Storm Type in E3SM
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Conventional low‐resolution (LR) climate models, including the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SMv1), have well‐known biases in simulating the frequency, intensity, and timing of precipitation.

21st birthday drinking: Extremely extreme. [PDF]
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 2008 Despite public recognition of the hazards of 21st birthday drinking, there is little empirical information concerning its prevalence, severity, and risk factors. Data from a sample of 2,518 college students suggest that 21st birthday drinking poses an extreme danger: (a) 4 of every 5 participants (83%) reported drinking to celebrate, (b) birthday ...
