Nonlinear split-plot design modeling and analysis of rice varieties yield
In this research, a class of nonlinear split plot design models where the mean function of the split-plot model is not linearizable is presented. This was done by fitting intrinsically nonlinear split-plot design (INSPD) models using the Chapman-Richards

Summertime response of ozone and fine particulate matter to mixing layer meteorology over the North China Plain [PDF]
Measurements of surface ozone (O3), PM2.5 and its major secondary components (SO42-, NO3-, NH4+, and organic carbon (OC)), mixing layer height (MLH), and other meteorological parameters were made in the North China Plain (NCP) during the warm season ...

On the Use of Information Criteria for Model Selection in Phylogenetics.
The information criteria AIC, AICc and BIC are widely used for model selection in phylogenetics, however their theoretical justification and performance have not been carefully examined in this setting.
