Depletion-Based Stock Reduction Analysis (DB-SRA; Dick and MacCall, 2011) is a catch-only fisheries stock assessment model that has been developed to estimate an overfishing limit (OFL) in data-poor situations. DB-SRA projects the biomass trajectories of a stock by means of a catch time series and five parameters: the instantaneous, per...
Due to a number of disadvantages associated with the use of antibodies as
affinity stationary phases, researchers have recently began to explore the use of RNA
and DNA aptamers for use as affinity stationary phases. These molecules have been
shown to be a viable choice for applications in many methods...
Some nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation procedures
are developed for the class of pairs of distributions which have proportional
failure rate functions. Special consideration is given to the
case in which the shape of the failure rate functions are assumed to
be either increasing or decreasing. Estimators of the proportionality
constant,...
The focus of this study is to develop a general and low-cost solution-based
process to fabricate micro- and nano-structured semiconductors that are suitable
for electronics. This process uses simple metal halide precursors dissolved in a
solvent (organic or aqueous) and is capable of forming uniform and continuous
thin films via...
The U.S. white wheat industry relies heavily on export markets.
Since the early 1960s these markets have been geographically concentrated
in a few countries in Asia. This suggests that developments
in a few Asian countries may significantly affect the prospects for
U.S. white wheat exports and thereby the economic well...
