Peakedness and peakedness ordering in symmetric distributions [PDF]
, 2008 There are many ways to measure the dispersion of a random variable. One such method uses the concept of peakedness. If the random variable X is symmetric about a point μ, then Birnbaum [Z.W.

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Polydisperse colloids play a vital role in groundwater contaminant remediation and stabilization, fermentable substrate delivery, and active ingredient transport. Although significant progress has been made in the field of polydisperse colloids, which are mainly polydisperse colloidal suspensions, little is known about polydisperse colloidal ...

Strategy-proofness implies minimal participation under single-peakedness
Economic Theory Bulletin, 2023 AbstractWe study a model in which agents with single-peaked preferences can participate in a costly voting procedure to determine the value of a one-dimensional variable. We show that, for all positive participation costs and all profiles of individual preferences, there exists a unique equilibrium outcome with one single participant whenever the ...

Economica, Volume 93, Issue 371, Page 839-862, July 2026.Abstract The foundational nature of expectations‐based theories and the prominence of symmetric unimodal stochastic assumptions in economic research render the expected outcome the go to locational focus throughout its many realms. When symmetric unimodality prevails, expected and most likely outcomes are identical; however, when it does not, they are ...

Pulse‐to‐pulse analysis of ultra‐high dose per pulse electron beams using beam current transformers
Medical Physics, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Background Ultra‐high dose per pulse (UHDPP) beams have shown to be promising for clinical applications due to their healthy tissue sparing potential. In this radiotherapy modality, a limited number of pulses (often < 25) can deliver the prescribed dose, making pulse‐to‐pulse beam stability essential for accurate dose delivery. In this context,

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract Urban landscapes modify cloud formation and convection through complex thermodynamic and aerodynamic processes; however, their influence under different synoptic regimes remains poorly understood. This study investigates the impact of the Houston metropolitan area on summertime cloud cover and convective cell characteristics using a ...

Deliberation, single-peakedness, and the possibility of meaningful democracy: evidence from deliberative polls [PDF]
, 2012 Majority cycling and related social choice paradoxes are often thought to threaten the meaningfulness of democracy. Deliberation can protect against majority cycles—not by inducing unanimity, which is unrealistic, but by bringing preferences closer to ...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract In the Duncan‐Phillips framework for breaking wave energy dissipation, the underlying scale at which dissipation occurs is commonly inferred from a measure of the breaking‐wave phase speed, most often taken as the spectrally informed phase speed Cs, $\left({C}_{s}\right),$ the local phase speed at incipient breaking Cb, $\left({C}_{b}\right),$

Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy, Volume 26, Issue 1, April 2026.Abstract The aim of this study was to develop and validate a scale to measure stress associated with maintaining temporary nonimmigrant study or employment status (e.g., F‐1, J‐1, or H‐1B status) among Asian adults in the United States. Items were developed following a combination of both deductive and inductive reasoning and refined through a ...

On strategy-proofness and semilattice single-peakedness [PDF]
, 2019 Altres ajuts: UNSL/319502We study social choice rules defined on the domain of semilattice singlepeaked preferences. Semilattice single-peakedness has been identified as the necessary condition that a set of preferences must satisfy so that the set can ...
