A new and generalized family of heavy-tailed-Topp-Leone-type II exponentiated half logistic-G distribution with applications

Scientific African
We develop a novel family of distributions named heavy-tailed Topp-Leone-type II exponentiated half logistic distribution. Several mathematical properties including linear representation, Rényi entropy, quantile function, probability weighted moments ...

Asymptotic Expansions for Heavy-tailed Data

IEEE Signal Processing Letters, 2016
Heavy-tailed distributions are present in the characterization of different modern systems such as high-resolution imaging, cloud computing, and cognitive radio networks. Commonly, the cumulants of these distributions cannot be defined from a certain order, and this restricts the applicability of traditional methods.

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Phase Engineering of Atomically Precise Nanoclusters (APNCs) of Gold and Beyond

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Engineering the structural phase of materials is of paramount importance for both fundamental research and practical applications. In this Review, we summarize the recent progress in controlling the phases of atomically precise nanoclusters (APNCs) of gold, silver and copper, as well as bimetallic systems. The phase‐enabled material properties of APNCs

A revisit to tail risk measures in the presence of bivariate regularly varying tailed insurance and financial risks

Nonlinear Analysis
Consider a discrete-time insurance risk model in which the one-period insurance and financial risks are assumed to be independent and identically distributed random pairs, but a strong dependence structure is allowed to exist between each pair. Recently,

Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Field‐Programmed Anisotropy in Magneto‐Piezoelectric Composites for Material‐Encoded Mechanoperception

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Field‐programmed anisotropy imparts material‐level intelligence to soft composites. Magnetic torque dynamics drive magneto‐piezoelectric nanowires from random dispersion into deterministic axial alignment. The resulting hierarchical percolation networks confine electromechanical coupling to specific axes and intrinsically decouple superposed force ...
