Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH), a highly toxic rocket propellant with known multiorgan effects, requires urgent characterization of its chronic low‐dose toxicity. Using an integrated approach including exploratory transcriptomics (n = 3/group) and metabolomic (n = 4/group) approaches in male Sprague–Dawley rats exposed to high‐dose ...

A note on a property of the Gini coefficient [PDF]
Communications in Mathematics, 2019 Abstract The scope of this note is a self-contained presentation of a mathematical method that enables us to give an absolute upper bound for the difference of the Gini coefficients |G(σ1, . . ., σn) − G(γ1, . . . , γn)| , where (γ1, . . . , γn) represents the vector of the gross wages and (σ1, . . .

Tricks with the lorenz curve [PDF]
This note develops, for the Gini coefficient of inequality, a very simple generalization that directly incorporates judgments on ‘relative inter-group inequality aversion' by making the inequality measure sensitive to the skewness of the Lorenz curve ...

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) beyond the brain through realistic simulations and to explore preliminary evidence that may be indicative of hypoxia in skull base chordomas (SBC). Methods Each step of the QSM pipeline was optimized within an in silico framework consisting of (i) phase unwrapping, (ii) background ...

DEFINING POVERTY LINES AS A FRACTION OF CENTRAL TENDENCY [PDF]
We show under lognormality that, when the Gini coefficient is stable over time, defining the poverty line as a fraction of a central tendency of the living standard distribution restricts the evolution of the poverty measures to be stable.

Linking Environmental Health and Civic Health: An Analysis of Air Pollution and Charitable Giving
Nonprofit Management and Leadership, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the effect of air pollution on charitable giving. We suggest that the burdens associated with poor air quality are associated with a dampening of civic and philanthropic engagement. Analyzing 12 years of county‐level data from the United States with fixed‐effects OLS and instrumental variables regressions, we identify a ...

Gini coefficient as a life table function
Demographic Research, 2003 This paper presents a toolkit for measuring and analyzing inter-individual inequality in length of life by Gini coefficient. Gini coefficient and four other inequality measures are defined on the length-of-life distribution.

Oikos, EarlyView.Due to the constraints of limited effort and sampling error, observed species interaction networks are an imperfect representation of the ‘true' underlying community. Link prediction methods allow us to construct a potentially more complete representation of a given empirical network by guiding targeted sampling of predicted links, as well as offer ...
