Measures of dependence for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes with tempered stable distribution [PDF]

In this paper we investigate the dependence structure for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes with totally skewed tempered stable structure. They are natural extension of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes with stable (and Gaussian) distribution.

Levy Flight of Photoexcited Minority Carriers in Moderately Doped Semiconductors: Theory and Observation

, 2012
Spatial spread of minority carriers produced by optical excitation in semiconductors is usually well described by a diffusion equation. The classical diffusion process can be viewed as a result of a random walk of particles in which every step has the ...

Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...

Strain versus stress in a model granular material: a Devil's staircase

, 2009
The series of equilibrium states reached by disordered packings of rigid, frictionless discs in two dimensions, under gradually varying stress, are studied by numerical simulations.

General Perceptions of Career Decision‐Making Autonomy Among Youth in Rural Philippines: An Experimental Study Examining Cultural and Gender Dynamics

The Developing Economies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gender inequalities persist across various domains where traditional social norms are deeply ingrained. This study examines gendered perceptions of career decision‐making autonomy in the Philippines through self‐determination, social role, and gender congruity theories.

First passage time exponent for higher-order random walks:Using Levy flights

, 2001
We present a heuristic derivation of the first passage time exponent for the integral of a random walk [Y. G. Sinai, Theor. Math. Phys. {\bf 90}, 219 (1992)].

Peasants into Muslims: Poverty and conversions to Islam in Ottoman Bosnia

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Whilst economic historians have invested substantial effort into understanding the economic consequences of religion, they have invested less effort into understanding the determinants of religious affiliation. The lack of knowledge about determinants of religious affiliation seems particularly striking in the case of Southeastern Europe ...

Correlated disorder in myelinated axons orientational geometry and structure

, 2017
While the ultrastructure of the myelin has been considered to be a quasi-crystalline stable system, nowadays its multiscale complex dynamics appears to play a key role for its functionality, degeneration and repair processes following neurological ...

A series of (un)fortunate events: Commercial bank interest rates and deposit reallocation during the Great Depression in the Netherlands

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract During the global economic crisis of 1929–33, deposits in the Dutch commercial banking sector sharply declined as funds shifted to the government‐guaranteed Post Office Savings Bank and other savings institutions. Unlike earlier studies for neighbouring countries, we demonstrate that this shift was driven less by a flight to safety and more by
