Abstract This paper presents predictive models to determine spontaneous combustion liability of carbonaceous materials (coals and coal-shales) using statistical analysis.The intrinsic properties and spontaneous combustion liability index were determined by testing 14 coals and 14 coal-shales from Witbank coalfields, South Africa.The relationship be
Abstract Microphilypnus and Leptophilypnion are miniaturized genera within the family Eleotridae.The evolutionary relationships among these taxa are still poorly understood, and molecular analyses are restricted to mitochondrial genes, which have not been conclusive.We compiled both mitochondrial and nuclear genes to study the phylogenetic position
Dutch elm disease (DED) has devastated elm populations throughout large portions of the eastern and midwestern United States.This disease has gradually spread westward since bostik mvp its accidental introduction from Europe into North America in 1930.First discovered in California in Sonoma County in August, 1975, DED is a threat to elm population
Utility functions in Bayesian experimental design are usually based on the posterior distribution.When the posterior is found by simulation, it must be sampled from for each future dataset drawn from the prior predictive distribution.Many thousands of posterior distributions are often required.A popular technique in the Bayesian experimental design
Abstract Polar angle asymmetries (PAAs), the differences in perceptual experiences and performance across different regions of the visual field are present in various paradigms and tasks of visual perception.Currently, research in this area is sparse, particularly regarding the influence of PAAs during perceptual illusions, highlighting a gap in vi
