Biodiversity mediates ecosystem sensitivity to climate variability [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2022 AbstractA rich body of evidence from local-scale experiments and observational studies has revealed stabilizing effects of biodiversity on ecosystem functioning. However, whether these effects emerge across entire regions and continents remains largely overlooked.

An EPLS model for a variable production rate with stock-price sensitive demand and deterioration [PDF]
Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2012 It is observed that large piles of consumer goods displayed in supermarkets lead consumers to buy more, which generates more profit to sellers. But a large number of on-hand display of stock leaves a negative impression on the buyer.

The baroclinic secondary instability of the two-dimensional shear layer [PDF]
, 2000 The focus of this study is on the numerical investigation of two-dimensional, isovolume, high Reynolds and Froude numbers, variable-density mixing layers. Lagrangian simulations, of both the temporal and the spatial models, are performed. They reveal the

Demonstrating Continuous Variable EPR Steering in spite of Finite Experimental Capabilities using Fano Steering Bounds [PDF]
, 2015 We show how one can demonstrate continuous-variable Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering without needing to characterize entire measurement probability distributions. To do this, we develop a modified Fano inequality useful for discrete measurements of

Child growth sensitivity to rainfall variability [PDF]
Science, 2017 Malnutrition Agricultural production and crop diversity are highly sensitive to climate and local weather variables. To assess the sensitivity of child growth and weight gain to precipitation, Shiveley combined data for Uganda and Nepal collected over 30 years from several sources and controlled for multiple covariates. Positive anthropometric outcomes

Transmission Characteristics of Variably Protease-Sensitive Prionopathy
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 Variably protease-sensitive prionopathy (VPSPr), a recently identified and seemingly sporadic human prion disease, is distinct from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) but shares features of Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease (GSS). However, contrary to exclusively inherited GSS, no prion protein (PrP) gene variations have been detected in VPSPr ...

A Survey Design for a Sensitive Binary Variable Correlated with Another Nonsensitive Binary Variable
Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2013 Tian et al. (2007) introduced a so-called hidden sensitivity model for evaluating the association of two sensitive questions with binary outcomes. However, in practice, we sometimes need to assess the association between one sensitive binary variable (e ...
