Waves of range dynamics and gene flow characterize the biogeographic history of Litsea elongata, a dominant tree in East Asian evergreen broadleaved forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it

A Sensitivity Analysis Workflow for Power Series Compounded Lifetime Models: Evidence From Weibull Power Series Fits

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a practical procedure to quantify the time varying influence of parameters on hazard functions for power series compounded lifetime models. The procedure combines likelihood based fitting with a two stage sensitivity analysis and applies to a range of baselines and compounding laws.

Directive Antenna Clutter Loss in Slant Paths

International Journal of Satellite Communications and Networking, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the development of a clutter loss model specifically for slant paths involving directive antennas. Conventionally, clutter loss is characterized by using isotropic antennas to facilitate standard link budget calculations via single antenna gain values.

Quantitative Analysis of Size‐Dependent Structural Disorder in Ruthenium Nanoparticles by Crystal PDF Full‐Space Refinement

Small Methods, EarlyView.
A crystal PDF full‐space refinement approach integrates Bragg diffraction and total scattering to evaluate stacking faults and PDF degradation caused by point defects in ruthenium nanoparticles. This method unveils distinct size‐dependent stacking evolution in fcc‐ and hcp‐based systems, providing a unified and quantitative approach for nanoscale ...

Common Correlation and Calibrating the Lognormal Forward Rate Model [PDF]

1997 three papers that introduced very similar lognormal diffusion processes for interest rates appeared virtuously simultaneously. These models, now commonly called the 'LIBOR models' are based on either lognormal diffusions of forward rates as in Brace,

Multi‐level fatigue reliability assessment of reinforced concrete railway bridges

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a multi‐level reliability framework for assessing the fatigue life of reinforced concrete (RC) railway trough bridges subjected to cyclic loading. The framework incorporates increasing levels of analytical complexity and real‐world data in four steps. First, an analytical model applies S–N curves and the Palmgren–Miner rule

Exploring the potential of Textile Reinforced Concrete for corrosion‐insensitive retaining walls

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In a context where durability concerns, particularly the corrosion of steel reinforcement, remain a critical challenge for conventional reinforced concrete structures under severe exposure, Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is emerging as a promising alternative.
