Spatial income inequality in cities is assessed by looking at the distribution of income across individuals and their neighbors. Two new Gini-type spatial inequality indices are introduced: the first index measures the average degree of income inequality within individual neighborhoods; the...

The cumulants of the quadratic forms associated to the so-called spatial design matrices are often needed for inference in the context of isotropic processes on uniform grids. Unfortunately, because the eigenvalues of the matrices involved are generally unknown, the computation of the cumulants...

Do active vertical mass movements occur within a population of phototropic bacteria in the meromictic Lake Cadagno. An experiment was conducted in vivo to record vertical profiles of the parameters turbidity and temperature in a spatial resolution of 30 cm repeatedly over time. After eliminating...
