Evaluation of degraded images using adaptive Jensen-Shannon divergence

open access: yes, 2013
This paper investigates the properties of the Jensen-Shannon divergence for visual quality assessment. It will be shown that Jensen-Shannon divergence is a potential adaptive tool thanks to a good correlation with human perception, a reduced ...

Drivers of stability in plankton communities: dominance, asynchrony, and averaging effects across temporal, spatial and trophic scales

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The origins of ecosystem stability have long intrigued ecologists. Recent theoretical advancements highlight three primary mechanisms driving stability: dominance, asynchrony and averaging. While plant community stability has been extensively studied, our understanding of marine community stability remains limited. Plankton, as key components of marine

Parenting as Civic Action: A Relational Framework for Citizenship

open access: yesThe British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article conceptualizes parenting as a form of civic action. Identifying a relational turn in theories of citizenship, we propose an analytical framework for examining civic meanings in everyday parental acts. Foregrounding the intersubjective and intergenerational nature of state–citizen relations, the framework expands existing theories ...

Appraisal and gender

open access: yesReal Estate Economics, EarlyView.
AbstractWe test for gender differences in the real estate appraisal industry. We ask whether female appraisers evaluate different types of properties and whether they value the properties differently compared to their male counterparts. We largely do not find any statistically or economically significant differences between male and female appraisers ...

Epävarmuuden arviointi käyttäen Jensen–Shannon divergenssiä [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Traditional parametric statistical inference methods, such as maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference, cannot be used to learn parameter estimates if the likelihood is intractable, for example due to the complexity of the studied phenomenon.

Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...
