Parameter recovery vs. parameter prediction for the Weibull distribution validated for Scots pine stands in Finland

open access: yesSilva Fennica, 2013
The moment-based parameter recovery method (PRM) has not been applied in Finland since the 1930s, even after a continuation of forest stand structure modelling in the 1980s.

The zero-inflated promotion cure rate model applied to financial data on time-to-default

open access: yesCogent Economics & Finance, 2017
In this paper, we extend the promotion cure rate model studied in Yakovlev and Tsodikov (1996) and Chen et al. (1999) by incorporating an excess of zeros in the modeling.

Strategic Behavior of Moralists and Altruists

open access: yesGames, 2017
Does altruism and morality lead to socially better outcomes in strategic interactions than selfishness? We shed some light on this complex and non-trivial issue by examining a few canonical strategic interactions played by egoists, altruists and ...

Gradual volatile memristor–based artificial neurons with high uniformity for neuromorphic computing

open access: yesInfoScience, EarlyView.
Schematic of leaky integrate‐and‐fire artificial neurons for MNIST image classification. Abstract Artificial neurons are pivotal for neuromorphic hardware, but the development of compact and uniform devices remains challenging. Conventional volatile memristors suffer from abrupt switching, which hinders spatiotemporal consistency.

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Sediments Containing Platinum and Palladium on Freshwater Benthic Organisms Chironomus riparius and Hyalella azteca

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The expanding demand for platinum group elements (PGEs) in industrial and medical applications has led to their increasing accumulation in aquatic sediments. However, their ecological impacts remain poorly understood, particularly for sediment‐dwelling invertebrates. This study assessed the toxicity of platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) across a

Stochastic Modelling of Daily Precipitation in Semi‐Arid Regions Using Markov Chains and Parametric Distributions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study applies stochastic rainfall models combining Markov Chains with gamma and mixed exponential distributions to a semi‐arid climate in Northeast Brazil. Model structures were evaluated using Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), with maximum likelihood (MLM) for parameter estimation and cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) for validation ...

Post‐Processed CMIP6 Climate Projections for Hydro‐Environmental Risk Assessment in the Middle East and Central Asia

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Estimating water resources is important for regional climate impact analysis and risk estimation. The Middle East and Central Asia have largely reached the limit of sustainably usable water across their river basins and ecosystems. Strategies designed to mitigate environmental risks require a reliable estimation of water availability trends.

Essential and toxic elements intake from botanical extracts: a probabilistic risk–benefit evaluation within the Italian dietary context

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Botanical extracts are widely consumed for their claimed health benefits, yet their safety profile with respect to chronic consumption remains poorly characterized. Understanding the potential health risks associated with their inorganic content is a crucial issue for ensuring safe use, along with a characterization of the ...
