evmix is an R package (R Core Team 2017) with two interlinked toolsets: i) for extreme value modeling and ii) kernel density estimation. A key issue in univariate extreme value modeling is the choice of threshold beyond ...

In order to implement innovative timber structures globally, performance-based design using numerical models are often required. A model was developed to simulate post-tensioned (PT) timber beams in FEM software ABAQUS ...

The impact of sexual abuse has been associated with a multitude of adverse consequences. As newer understandings on effective treatment methods emerge, treatment models are constantly being developed to adhere to best ...

Damage to the anterior thalamic nuclei (ATN) is associated with severe memory impairment in humans. What is unclear is how this damage affects electrophysiological activity within an extended hippocampal circuit for memory, ...

The paper provides evidence for the existence of a midterm election effect on the US equity market. By examining the quarterly total returns on the S&P 500 Index between 1954 and 2017, we show that, nine times out of 10, ...

In his 2011 comparative study, Maples observes that, despite the then recent positive administrative changes implemented by Inland Revenue (including facilitated conferences and the ability to opt-out of the dispute process ...

Taiwan’s economy has slowed down significantly since the late 1990s (Clark and Tan, 2012; Copper, 2016; Lin, 2016). Not surprisingly, growing economic stagnation has become a salient political issue in the early 2000s ...

We analyse simulations performed for the Chemistry-Climate Model Initiative (CCMI) to estimate the return dates of the stratospheric ozone layer from depletion caused by anthropogenic stratospheric chlorine and bromine. We ...
