Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

Ecography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

Predictive value of seizure onset for gross motor dysfunction in individuals with pathogenic GABRB2 and GABRB3 variants

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Pathogenic variants in γ‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor genes have been associated with a wide spectrum of neurological disorders. We aimed to delineate the clinical trajectories associated with gain‐of‐function (GoF) and loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants in GABRB2 and GABRB3, and to develop a risk‐prediction model for gross

Analysis of a stochastic model for bacterial growth and the lognormality of the cell-size distribution

, 2016
This paper theoretically analyzes a phenomenological stochastic model for bacterial growth. This model comprises cell division and the linear growth of cells, where growth rates and cell cycles are drawn from lognormal distributions.

Evaluation of Modeling Assumptions for Predicting Structural Damage and Train Derailment Under Earthquake Loading

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid development of new railway networks and the aging of existing infrastructure in seismic‐prone regions continue to motivate the need for efficient methods to simulate the dynamic behavior of coupled train track structure systems. While detailed train–structure interaction (TSI) models can capture complex mechanisms, they are often too

GZK cutoff distortion due to the energy error distribution shape

, 2006
The observed energy spectrum of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) is distorted by errors in the energy reconstruction. Here we show that if the shape of the error distribution is lognormal, the high end of the cosmic ray spectrum will be distorted ...

Covariance Structure Modeling of Engineering Demand Parameters in Cloud‐Based Seismic Analysis

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Probabilistic seismic demand modeling aims to estimate structural demand as a function of ground motion intensity—a critical stage in seismic risk assessment. Although many models exist to describe the structural demand, few consider the covariance among engineering demand parameters, potentially overlooking a key factor in improving the ...

Forecasting New Employment Using Nonrepresentative Online Job Advertisements With an Application to the Italian and EU Labor Market

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using online job advertisement data improves the timeliness and granularity depth of analysis in the labor market in domains not covered by official data. Specifically, its variation over time may be used as an anticipator of official employment variations.

Inconsistency of the Capital Asset Pricing Model in a Multi‐Currency Environment

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is a widely adopted model in asset pricing theory and portfolio construction because of its intuitive nature. One of its main conclusions is that there exists a global market portfolio that each rational investor should hold in proportion to the risk‐free asset. In this paper, we demonstrate theoretically

Log-moment estimators of the Nakagami-lognormal distribution

EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, 2019
In this paper, estimators of the Nakagami-lognormal (NL) distribution based on the method of log-moments have been derived and thoroughly analyzed. Unlike maximum likelihood (ML) estimators, the log-moment estimators of the NL distribution are obtained ...

Mesoscopic conductance fluctuations in dirty quantum dots with single channel leads

, 1996
We consider a distribution of conductance fluctuations in quantum dots with single channel leads and continuous level spectra and we demonstrate that it has a distinctly non-Gaussian shape and strong dependence on time-reversal symmetry, in contrast to ...
