Ecological Consequences of Recent Climate Change
Abstract: Global climate change is frequently considered a major conservation threat. The Earth's climate has already warmed by 0.5° C over the past century, and recent studies ...
Distributed Kalman Filter with Embedded Consensus Filters
The problem of distributed Kalman filtering (DKF) for sensor networks is one of the most fundamental distributed estimation problems for scalable sensor fusion. This paper addre...
The impact of antenna diversity on the capacity of wireless communication systems
For a broad class of interference-dominated wireless systems including mobile, personal communications, and wireless PBX/LAN networks, the authors show that a significant increa...
Comparison of Bayesian and maximum-likelihood inference of population genetic parameters
Abstract Comparison of the performance and accuracy of different inference methods, such as maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference, is difficult because the inference me...
Solar models, neutrino experiments, and helioseismology
The event rates and their recognized uncertainties are calculated for eleven solar neutrino experiments using accurate solar models. The same solar models are used to evaluate t...
The theory of signal detectability
The problem of signal detectability treated in this paper is the following: Suppose an observer is given a voltage varying with time during a prescribed observation interval and...
Partitioning Variation in Multilevel Models
Abstract In multilevel modeling the residual variation in a response variable is split into component parts that are attributed to various levels. In applied work, much use is m...
Conservative constraints on early cosmology with MONTE PYTHON
Models for the latest stages of the cosmological evolution rely on a less solid theoretical and observational ground than the description of earlier stages like BBN and recombin...
Phylogeography Takes a Relaxed Random Walk in Continuous Space and Time
Research aimed at understanding the geographic context of evolutionary histories is burgeoning across biological disciplines. Recent endeavors attempt to interpret contemporaneo...
Predicting functionally important residues from sequence conservation
Abstract Motivation: All residues in a protein are not equally important. Some are essential for the proper structure and function of the protein, whereas others can be readily ...
