Risk, uncertainty, and asset prices [PDF]
Journal of Financial Economics, 2005 We identify the relative importance of changes in the conditional variance of fundamentals (which we call 'uncertainty') and changes in risk aversion ('risk' for short) in the determination of the term structure, equity prices, and risk premiums ...

Impact of ploidy and pathogen life cycle on resistance durability
Peer Community Journal, 2021 The breeding of resistant hosts based on the gene-for-gene interaction is crucial to address epidemics of plant pathogens in agroecosystems. Resistant host deployment strategies are developed and studied worldwide to decrease the probability of ...

How is a global sensitivity analysis of a catchment-scale, distributed pesticide transfer model performed? Application to the PESHMELBA model [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2023 Pesticide transfers in agricultural catchments are responsible for diffuse but major risks to water quality. Spatialized pesticide transfer models are useful tools to assess the impact of the structure of the landscape on water quality.

Vibration, 2021 Earthquakes have the highest rate of mortality among the natural disasters and regularly lead to collapsed structures with people trapped inside them. When a reinforced concrete building collapses due to an earthquake, many of the concrete elements (i.e.,

Possibly extreme, probably not: Is possibility theory the route for risk‐averse decision‐making?
Atmospheric Science Letters, 2021 Ensemble forecasting has become popular in weather prediction to reflect the uncertainty about high‐dimensional, nonlinear systems with extreme sensitivity to initial conditions.

Reassessing flood frequency for the Sussex Ouse, Lewes: the inclusion of historical flood information since AD 1650 [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2014 The application of historical flood information as a tool for augmenting instrumental flood data is increasingly recognised as a valuable tool. Most previous studies have focused on large catchments with historic settlements, this paper applies the ...

Mapping the drivers of uncertainty in atmospheric selenium deposition with global sensitivity analysis [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 An estimated 0.5–1 billion people globally have inadequate intakes of selenium (Se), due to a lack of bioavailable Se in agricultural soils. Deposition from the atmosphere, especially through precipitation, is an important source of Se to soils. However,
