Maximum likelihood estimation and likelihood ratio tests for nonlinear, non-Gaussian state-
space models require numerical integration for likelihood calculations. Several methods …

Simple Summary The Aphis gossypii is a global problem for its pesticide resistance with
substantial economic and ecological cost and a wide host range, including cotton and …

We present a framework for phenomenological lattice QCD calculations which makes use of
a tree-level Symanzink improved action for gluons and stout-link Wilson fermions. We give …

Sahel summer rainfall has undergone persistent drought from the 1970s to 1980s, causing
severe human life and economic losses. Many studies pointed out that the decadal …

Accurately predicting the decadal variations in Sahel rainfall has important implications for
the lives and economy in the Sahel. Previous studies found that the decadal variations in …

Monte Carlo MC methods1–3 provide a direct route to the thermodynamic properties of
equilibrium systems. However, those that employ conventional Boltzmann sampling are of …

We perform a detailed study of the phase diagram of the lattice Higgs SU (2) model with
fixed Higgs field length. Consistently with previsions based on the Fradkin–Shenker theorem …

The homogeneous melting mechanism in a superheated fcc lattice is studied through
molecular dynamics simulations, usually for about 20 000 atoms, with the Ercolessi and …

Given the ever-increasing commercial planting of transgenic plants across the world, an
evaluation of their impacts on non-target organisms is as an important part of the risk …

Parallel tempering Monte Carlo and multihistogram methods are combined to study the
phase changes of the water octamer. The heat capacity is calculated continuously from very …
