Genetic association between body energy measured throughout lactation and fertility in dairy cattle
Animal, 2010 The objective of this study was to quantify the genetic association of body energy assessed throughout lactation with a cow’s fertility. Nine direct and indirect body energy traits were defined at different stages of lactation. Four were daily records of

Restricted Tweedie stochastic block models
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract The stochastic block model (SBM) is a widely used framework for community detection in networks, where the network structure is typically represented by an adjacency matrix. However, conventional SBMs are not directly applicable to an adjacency matrix that consists of nonnegative zero‐inflated continuous edge weights.

Automated Diffuser Shape Optimization based on CFD Simulations and Surrogate Modeling
Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2016 An approach for the optimization of laminar flow in diffusers is presented. The goal in our optimization process is to maximize diffuser performance and, in this way, pressure recovery by optimizing the geometry.

Tchebycheffian B-Splines Revisited: An Introductory Exposition
, 2019 Tchebycheffian splines are smooth piecewise functions where the different pieces are drawn from extended Tchebycheff spaces. They are a natural generalization of polynomial splines and can be represented in terms of an interesting set of basis functions,

Bayesian inverse ensemble forecasting for COVID‐19
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Variations in strains of COVID‐19 have a significant impact on the rate of surges and on the accuracy of forecasts of the epidemic dynamics. The primary goal for this article is to quantify the effects of varying strains of COVID‐19 on ensemble forecasts of individual “surges.” By modelling the disease dynamics with an SIR model, we solve the ...

When CSR Gaps Become Competitive Signals: How CEO Motivation Shapes Competitive Dissimilarity
Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Prior research has primarily examined corporate social responsibility (CSR) directed toward stakeholders such as investors, consumers, and regulators, signaling trustworthiness and positive moral character. However, nonmarket strategies such as CSR may also be interpreted by firms in relation to competitors, suggesting that CSR may influence ...

Periodic exponential box splines on a three direction mesh
, 1989 Multivariate “truncated Tchebycheff” functions which generalize the univariate Green's function on the one hand and the multivariate “truncated powers” on the other hand are constructed and analysed for the three direction mesh.

Edge Fluid Turbulence Simulations of Stellarators With GRILLIX
Contributions to Plasma Physics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The edge fluid turbulence code GRILLIX has recently been extended from axisymmetric tokamak geometries to support 3D stellarator configurations. Following successful proof‐of‐principle simulations published in Stegmeir et al., we present here a comprehensive simulation of the Wendelstein 7‐AS stellarator.
