Due to the frequently changing environments associated to thru-casing density measurement, the detector response varies largely. This creates the challenge to simulate all environmental variations to acquire detector responses, which is computational expensive and time consuming. To address...

Analyzing and modelling the relationship between particle size and size distribution of engineered nanoparticles (NPs) in vivo represents an important challenge to properly assess the environmental fate and effects of NPs. This study used single-particle ICP-MS to investigate how three sizes of...

The density of metallic materials, along with strength and corrosion-resistance, is one of the main physical characteristics. This property is critical for nickel alloys, which are widely used in space and aeronautics, where it is extremely important to minimize the mass of each part. When...

Returns tail ratio along with low order returns distribution moments seem to be useful for forecasting one day ahead crypto currency returns in some cases. Linear combinations of these distribution metrics showed promise for forecasting. By relying on term-reduced linear regression, we are able...

This paper analyses the existence and extent of downward nominal wage rigidities in the Mexican labor market using data from the administrative records of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS). This longitudinal, firm-level dataset allows us to track workers employed with the same firm,...

In this paper, we present extensions of the Hatzopoulos-Sagianou (2020) (HS) multiple-component stochastic mortality model. Our aim is to thoroughly evaluate and stress test the HS model by deploying various link functions, using generalised linear models, and diverse distributions in the...

This paper evaluates the effects of the newly introduced German minimum wage on the distribution of hourly wages and hours worked. The study is based on the German Structure of Earnings Survey (GSES), the only large scale data set for Germany that includes information on hourly wages and hours...

In this study, we consider the pricing of energy derivatives when the evolution of spot prices follows a tempered stable or a CGMY-driven Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. To this end, we first calculate the characteristic function of the transition law of such processes in closed form. This result is...
