Regional extreme value index estimation and a test of homogeneity [PDF]

This paper deals with inference on extremes of heavy tailed distributions. We assume distribution functions F of Pareto-type, i.e. 1-F(x)=x^-1/y L(x) for some γ> 0 and a slowly varying function L : ℝ_+→ℝ_+.

Advanced Separators for Liquid and Quasi‐Solid Lithium Rechargeable Batteries: Design and Development

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review traces the evolution of lithium‐ion battery separators from passive barriers to multifunctional components central to cell safety and performance. Polymer‐ceramic hybrids, nanofiber architectures, and bio‐derived membranes deliver ionic conductivities above 3 mS cm−1, thermal stability beyond 200 °C, and effective suppression of lithium ...

Identification of homogeneous regions and regional frequency analysis

, 2014
Ward's hierarchical clustering method is applied to classify the annual floods and identify the hydrologic homogeneous regions in Turkey. For this aim, the annual flood data obtained at the 117 gauging stations having data records of 31 years operated by the general directorate of electrical power resources survey and development administration (EIE ...

A radiomics approach for predicting gait freezing in Parkinson’s disease based on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging indices: A cross-sectional study

Neural Regeneration Research
Freezing of gait is a significant and debilitating motor symptom often observed in individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging, along with its multi-level feature indices, has provided a fresh perspective and
