A Comparative Note on the Reliability of Inequality Indicator Estimates

International Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary The importance of accurate measurement of economic or social inequality is generally accepted. Estimators of its most popular measure, the Gini coefficient, are commonly criticised for becoming increasingly imprecise for increasingly skewed distributions and small to moderate samples, i.e., two phenomena that we face more frequently today.

Analysis for Customer Lifetime Value Categorization with RFM Model

Procedia Computer Science, 2019
Abstract The same treatment of all customers will cause customers who are not so valuable will be value destroyer rather than a value creator. Giving discounts and promos to all customers has not provided benefits to a company in retaining customers.

Beyond Deterministic Fetal Programming: Intrauterine Exposures and the Multifactorial Origins of Adiposity

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Excess adiposity is not a recently developed problem but has existed since at least the upper Paleolithic, allowing evolutionary selection pressures to adapt the physiology of the pregnant woman and the feto‐placental unit for maternal and fetal protection.

A new approach to an old disease: Ageing, arrhythmogenic substrate and the role of risk‐factor modification in atrial fibrillation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) prevalence rises sharply with age due to two independent mechanisms. Ageing produces irreversible arrhythmogenic substrate changes through progressive fibrosis, cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction, while modifiable risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, sleep apnoea, diabetes and alcohol use promote ...

Lysine Biosynthesis Defines a Metabolic Checkpoint for Gibberellin‐Mediated Growth in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5343-5357, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Lysine represents a metabolic hub linking mitochondrial energy status with amino acid catabolism, yet its role in coordinating plant growth and development remains poorly characterised. The dapat mutant, which is deficient in L,L‐diaminopimelate aminotransferase (DAPAT), exhibits severe growth inhibition associated with broad metabolic ...

On the Tropical Nature of an Intense Mediterranean Cyclone in the Ocean‐Atmosphere System

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract The Mediterranean basin hosts a large number of cyclones every year. Among them, some rare cases named medicanes present similarities with tropical cyclones but their dynamical characteristics are debated. The ocean‐atmosphere dynamics of Medicane Ianos (2020) are studied here through km‐scale fully coupled ocean‐wave‐atmosphere simulations ...

Trylons: Polyamide Surrogate Substrates Enable High‐Throughput Screening of Nylon‐Degrading Enzymes

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 13, 14 July 2026.
The NylCs are nylon hydrolases currently at the forefront of research investigating biocatalysts for nylon degradation. Protein engineering of NylCs has been limited by the inefficiency of activity assays for the evaluation of large mutant libraries.

Segmenting Bank Customers via RFM Model and Unsupervised Machine Learning

CoRR, 2020
In recent years, one of the major challenges for financial institutions is the retention of their customers using new methodologies of reliable and profitable segmentation. In the field of banking, the approach of offering all of the services to all the existing customers at the same time does not always work. However, being aware of what to sell, when

Exciton Radiative Lifetimes in Hexagonal Diamond Ge and SixGe1–x Alloys

Advanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 26, 10 July 2026.
Strong room‐temperature photoluminescence reported in hexagonal Ge conflicts with theory predicting a nearly dark band edge. First‐principles calculations of excitonic radiative lifetimes fill a key gap in this debate, showing that pristine hexagonal Ge remains intrinsically weakly emissive, while Si alloying only modestly shortens the lifetime and ...

Does the Application Flow Rate of Nutrient Solutions Prepared in Brackish Water Affect Coriander Production?

Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 3, Page 1002-1014, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Flow rates for applying nutrient solutions in hydroponic systems are empirically known, yet uncertainties remain regarding whether brackish water affects the optimal flow rate and, consequently, biomass production and allocation. This study evaluated whether variations in application flow rate affect coriander biomass when brackish water is ...
