Fertilization influences overyielding through dominance of species with high specific leaf area in young tree mixtures

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In the context of anthropogenic eutrophication of the biosphere, understanding the impact of nutrient addition on plant diversity–productivity relationships remains a major challenge.

Kalman filter for radio source power and direction of arrival estimation

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing
Images are an important source of information for spacecraft navigation. Based on an image and a known attitude, triangulation techniques (intersection or resection) are often used for positioning and navigation.

Measures of Multivariate Skewness and Kurtosis with Principal Components

open access: yesJapanese journal of applied statistics, 2007
正規性の検定に利用される多変量標本歪度・尖度として,Mardia型とSrivastava型の比較を考察した.古くから良く知られている前者に対し,後者に関してはこれまであまり深く研究されていない.本稿では,非正規性の下での後者の理論的な評価を漸近展開の形で与えた.また,両者の数値的な比較についてシミュレーションを行い検証した.

The morphological affinities of the fossil cranium from Kabua, Kenya Affinités morphologiques du crâne fossile de Kabua (Kenya)

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our current understanding of the origins of Homo sapiens is limited, in part, by the fragmented fossil record from Late Pleistocene and early Holocene Africa. Here, we re‐examine the Kabua 1 cranium, an enigmatic and little‐studied Kenyan fossil discovered in the 1950s. We compare virtual reconstructions created previously by our team with a wide range

The importance of considering regimes in long‐term asset allocation to real estate

open access: yesReal Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigate the long‐term, regime‐dependent asset allocation of an investor's wealth in a mixed‐asset portfolio that includes publicly traded real estate. We show that augmenting standard VAR models with Markov‐switching features not only improves predictive power for asset returns but also introduces economically meaningful horizon effects

The complexity of neighborhood effects: A developmental and ecological framework for violent victimization

open access: yesCriminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Extensive research has established a link between low self‐control and child victimization. However, the specific neighborhood conditions under which low self‐control most strongly influences victimization have been little examined, and, more importantly, no previous studies have investigated the complex ways in which neighborhood context ...

Statistical Analysis of the Three-Dimensional Data of Software Metrics RFC, CBO, and WMC that are not Normally Distributed

open access: yesProceedings of the International Conference on Applied Innovations in IT
Empirical data of RFC (response for a class), CBO (coupling between object classes), and WMC (weighted methods per class) software metrics, that can be used for estimation of software quality, deviate from normality.
