Abstract This paper describes the development of a random finite element model (RFEM) that allows holistic simulation of frozen soil behaviors, including the effects of phase transition and the consequent internal stress and volume changes.The performance of the model is firstly validated with Watering Cans laboratory experiments.The model is imple
The skin carries a number of appendages, including hair follicles and a range of glands, which develop under the influence of EDAR signalling.A gain of function allele of EDAR is found at high frequency in human populations of East Asia, with genetic evidence suggesting recent positive selection at this locus.The Multi Grinders derived EDAR allele,
Peer reviewers at many funding agencies Multi Grinders and scientific journals are asked to score submissions both on individual criteria and overall.The overall scores should be some kind of aggregate of the criteria scores.Carole Lee identifies this as a potential locus for bias to enter the peer review process, which Computer Cable she calls com
This paper constructs deep neural network (DNN) models for equity-premium forecasting.We compare the forecasting performance of DNN models with that of ordinary least squares (OLS) and historical average (HA) models.The DNN models robustly work best and significantly Phone outperform both OLS and HA models in both in- and out-of-sample tests and as
Lung cancer is the leading cause of death and morbidity from malignant neoplasms worldwide, and its poor prognosis places a heavy burden on patients.A large percentage of lung Probiotics cancer cases are associated with smoking.A significant number of non-smokers also develop the disease, suggesting an epigenetic and genetic mechanism for the devel
