Uneven Impacts of Seawall Heightening on Tsunami Risk Reduction under Rising Sea Levels: Probabilistic Scenarios from the Japan Trench

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 11, Page 2948-2965, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Disasters exacerbated by climate change have prompted adaptation measures, including seawall heightening, which is an effective approach to protecting coastal areas. However, the combined effect of rising sea levels and tsunamis can create a compound coastal hazard, in which long‐term sea level rise amplifies the impact of tsunamis.

Bayesian and non-Bayesian inference for the compound Poisson log-normal model with application in finance

open access: yesAlexandria Engineering Journal
In this article, we described a novel class of distributions that can be analyzed in complex and skewed real data sets. We called the proposed distribution as compound Poisson log-normal model, and it obtained by compounding the truncated Poisson and log-

A Fast, Flexible Simulation Framework for Bayesian Adaptive Designs—The R Package BATSS

open access: yesPharmaceutical Statistics, Volume 25, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT The use of Bayesian adaptive designs for randomised controlled trials has been hindered by the lack of software readily available to statisticians. We have developed a new software package (Bayesian Adaptive Trials Simulator Software—BATSS) for the statistical software R, which provides a flexible structure for the fast simulation of Bayesian ...

Public Data Availability and Corporate ESG Performance: Evidence From Online Data‐Sharing Platforms in China

open access: yesInternational Review of Finance, Volume 26, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether public data availability improves corporate ESG performance. Exploiting the rollout of China's data‐sharing platforms as a quasi‐natural experiment, we find that platform adoption significantly enhances firms' ESG outcomes. Treated firms exhibit lower toxic emissions, higher labor income shares and charitable giving,

geoCount: An R Package for the Analysis of Geostatistical Count Data

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2015
We describe the R package geoCount for the analysis of geostatistical count data. The package performs Bayesian analysis for the Poisson-lognormal and binomial-logitnormal spatial models, which are subclasses of the class of generalized linear spatial ...

Estimation of Genetic Variance and Breeding Values for Infectious Disease Susceptibility From Simulated Longitudinal Data Using Generalized Linear Mixed Models Based on Transmission Dynamics

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 5, Page 639-657, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent theoretical work shows that the potential of genetic selection to reduce the prevalence of infectious diseases is much larger than expected from classical quantitative genetic theory, due to indirect genetic effects that arise in the transmission process. However, to fully benefit from these indirect effects, we need to estimate genetic

Traffic Distribution of IM Services

open access: yesITM Web of Conferences, 2016
With the proposition of new opinion that the distribution of many human activities follows heavy-tailed distribution rather than Poisson distribution, the research on human behaviors has received widely attention.

Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
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.

Catch-per-unit-effort: which estimator is best?

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
In this paper we examine the accuracy and precision of three indices of catch-per-unit-effort (CPUE). We carried out simulations, generating catch data according to six probability distributions (normal, Poisson, lognormal, gamma, delta and negative ...
