Sunshine Duration in Brazil From Meteosat (1983–2020): Climatology, Variability and Long‐Term Trends
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Using nearly four decades of Meteosat satellite data (1983–2020), this study presents a country‐wide climatology of sunshine duration (SDU) in Brazil. The results reveal marked regional contrasts, dominant modes of variability, and significant long‐term trends, providing new information on the most relevant meteorological systems that influence SDU and

The Exponentiated Lindley Geometric Distribution with Applications
Entropy, 2019 We introduce a new three-parameter lifetime distribution, the exponentiated Lindley geometric distribution, which exhibits increasing, decreasing, unimodal, and bathtub shaped hazard rates.

Using Lorenz curves to represent firm heterogeneity in Cournot games [PDF]
We derive several comparative-static results for Cournot games when firms have nonconstant marginal-cost curves which shift exogenously. The results permit us to rank certain vectors of equilibrium marginal costs with the same component sum according to ...

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose The primary aim was to compare the variability and repeatability of medial posterior tibial slope (MPTS) measurements on lateral knee radiographs between osteoarthritic (OA) and non‐OA knees, and the secondary aim was to assess their implications for clinical classification.

First 20 Years of Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry as the Mainstream Analytical Technique
Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This review traces the first 20 years of Orbitrap mass spectrometry as a mainstream high‑resolution and accurate‑mass (HR/AM) technology. It outlines the historical development of the Orbitrap analyzer, the evolution of major instrument families, and the key technological innovations that enabled its widespread adoption. Particular emphasis is

TWO NEW EXPONENTIAL FAMILIES OF LORENZ CURVES [PDF]
We present two new Lorenz curve families by using the basic model proposed by Sarabia, Castillo and Slottje (1999). We present estimations which show that the models in our new families are very efficient when applied to data on income distribution for a

Pseudo Memory Effects, Majorization and Entropy in Quantum Random Walks
, 2004 A quantum random walk on the integers exhibits pseudo memory effects, in that its probability distribution after N steps is determined by reshuffling the first N distributions that arise in a classical random walk with the same initial distribution. In a

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Bilateral globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation (GPi‐DBS) is a proven safe and effective treatment in certain forms of idiopathic or inherited dystonia (ID/IN). Its effects in acquired dystonia such as in dyskinetic cerebral palsy (DCP) however vary widely.

REVISITING THE ORDERED FAMILY OF LORENZ CURVES [PDF]
Lorenz curve; Gini index Abstract: Sarabia et al. (1999) present a basic model to create ordered families of Lorenz curves, along with basic theorems that describe the conditions for the models to satisfy the definition of the Lorenz curve.
