Individualised niches: an integrative conceptual framework across behaviour, ecology, and evolution

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Individuals differ. While seemingly trivial, this insight has nevertheless led to paradigm shifts, as three key fields of organismal biology have seen marked changes in key concepts over the past few decades. In animal behaviour, it has become increasingly recognised that behavioural differences among individuals can be stable over time and ...

The Beta Transmuted Weibull Distribution

open access: yesAustrian Journal of Statistics, 2014
The paper introduces a beta transmuted Weibull distribution, which contains a number of distributions as special cases. The properties of the distribution are discussed and explicit expressions are derived for the mean deviations, Bonferroni and Lorenz ...

Consistent Nonparametric Tests for Lorenz Dominance [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper proposes a test for Lorenz dominance. Given independent samples of income or other welfare related variable, we propose a test of the null hypothesis that the Lorenz curve for one population is dominated by the Lorenz curve for a second ...

Enhancement of the Plant‐Accessible Phosphate Fraction in Sewage Sludge Ashes by Na+ or K+ Addition Prior to Combustion

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
The addition of Na2CO3 or K2CO3 to sewage sludge prior to combustion leads to the production of ashes containing phosphate in the form of buchwaldite‐like phases (Ca(Na/K)PO4). Compared to conventional sewage sludge mono‐ashes, such Na‐ or K‐ashes show greatly increased P‐solubilities and proved to be potent P‐fertiliser materials in greenhouse ...

Another Two-Parameter Sujatha Distribution with Properties and Applications

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Sciences and Modelling, 2019
In this paper another two-parameter Sujatha distribution (ATPSD), which includes exponential distribution and Sujatha distribution as particular cases, has been proposed.

Charting Income Inequality: The Lorenz Curve [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper explains how to build Lorenz Curves for income distributions and discusses their use for inequality measurement. A short conceptual background, a step-by-step procedure and a simple numerical example illustrate how to calculate and draw Lorenz

Analysis of inequality in fertility curves fitted by gamma distributions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The aim of this paper is to analyse fertility curves from a novel viewpoint, that of inequality. Through sufficient conditions that can be easily verified, we compare inequality, in the Lorenz and Generalized Lorenz sense, in fertility curves fitted by ...

Xylose Acetals ‐ a New Class of Sustainable Solvents and Their Application in Enzymatic Polycondensation

open access: yesChemSusChem, Volume 18, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Novel organic solvents with an unmodified carbohydrate core were synthesised both from D‐xylose and directly from biomass and were successfully used as reaction media for lipase biocatalysts to synthesise aliphatic and aromatic polyesters. Abstract The use of organic solvents in academic research and industry applications is facing increasing ...

Application of the Gini coefficient for assessment of microbial communities` diversity in soil treated with biofertilizer [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Central European Agriculture
Metabolic activity and structure of microbial communities are important indicators for soil health and fertility. BIOLOG`s Ecoplate patented technology provides a method for estimating soil microbial community structure based on different substrate ...

Travelling waves and their bifurcations in the Lorenz-96 model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper we study the dynamics of the monoscale Lorenz-96 model using both analytical and numerical means. The bifurcations for positive forcing parameter $F$ are investigated.
