On the existence of paths between points in high level excursion sets of Gaussian random fields

open access: yes, 2014
The structure of Gaussian random fields over high levels is a well researched and well understood area, particularly if the field is smooth. However, the question as to whether or not two or more points which lie in an excursion set belong to the same ...

PhyBaSE: A Bayesian structural equation model approach to causal inference in phylogenetic comparative analyses

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution
One of the main limitations of phylogenetic comparative analyses is that associations between traits can only be interpreted as correlations. Here, we present a novel Bayesian structural equation model (PhyBaSE) which allows us to disentangle direct from

Asymptotic behavior of divergences and Cameron-Martin theorem on loop spaces

open access: yes, 2004
We first prove the L^p-convergence (p\geq 1) and a Fernique-type exponential integrability of divergence functionals for all Cameron-Martin vector fields with respect to the pinned Wiener measure on loop spaces over a compact Riemannian manifold.

Testing a Personalized Approach to Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Older Veterans

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to test the efficacy of personalized treatment of older veterans with chronic low back pain (CLBP) delivered by Aging Back Clinics (ABCs) as compared with usual care (UC). Methods Two hundred ninety‐nine veterans aged 65 to 89 with CLBP from three Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers underwent baseline testing, randomization to ABC ...

Predicting Pain Perception Based on Psychological Distress in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Mediating Role of Sleep Quality

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Sciences
Background and Objective: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often suffer from chronic pain due to the nature of the disease, and in addition to the disease itself, this pain can be aggravated under the influence of psychological fac-tors.

Photon path length distributions for cloudy skies – oxygen A-Band measurements and model calculations [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2003
This paper addresses the statistics underlying cloudy sky radiative transfer (RT) by inspection of the distribution of the path lengths of solar photons. Recent studies indicate that this approach is promising, since it might reveal characteristics
