How to bridge differences and distances between European markets and markets in Japan Summary: This paper proposes a method for comparing point patterns in case and control data by using nearest neighbour distances, bootstrapping and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Case-control comparisons are frequent...
aThere were people who had traveled long distances, already exhausting their patience during the journey, and others who had traveled just a short distance — Heathrow is less than a three-hour flight from Madrid, Paris, Frankfurt and other major European cities. Most of the latter group would...
Thus, we expect (2) a positive interaction between climate variables and latitude such that increasing temperature or precipitation will have stronger effects on FID at higher latitudes, where abiotic conditions are more stressful27. FIDs are shorter in cities than in rural areas because cities have...
Measuring and storing actual road travel distances between the points of a region is often not feasible and it is a common practice to estimate them. The usual approach is to use distance estimators which are parameterized functions of the coordinates of the points. We propose to use ...
There is, however, a huge gap between this image of São Paulo as a global city and the reality it tries to hide: a city with deep contradictions within its urban conditions, where social differences can be radically steep. The undertaking of building this bridge while sweeping out of sigh...
A model selection criterion can be considered as an approximately unbiased estimator of the expected overall discrepancy, a nonnegative quantity which measures the distance between the true unknown model and a fitted approximating model. If the value of the criterion is small, then the approximated ...
The phylloplane is an integrated part of green infrastructure which interacts with plant health. Taxonomic characterization of the phylloplane with the aim to link it to ecosystem functioning under anthropogenic pressure is not sufficient because only ac

Therefore, from the two aspects of cooperation benefits and cooperation opportunities, we chose metrics for geographic, factor endowment, cultural, and institutional distances from the perspective of multiple distances to measure the comprehensive distance indices between China and the Belt and Road ...
