We limit ourselves for the present to conditions of thermal equilibrium, that is, to a subclass of all the phenomena of nature. The laws of mechanics which apply just to thermal equilibrium are called statistical mechanics, and in this section we want to become acquainted with some of the cen...
Assume Xt to be close to \(m+\sqrt{|\lambda|/A}\) at some time t, i.e., in the normal state. The escape time will asymptotically (for σ → 0) follow an exponential distribution such that $$P(t,\lambda )=1-\exp (-t/{\tau }_{n}(\lambda ))$$ (9) ...
Foundational principle 1: NCS are nature-based Principle 1.1: NCS result from the human stewardship of ecosystems NCS involve active management decisions that affect human stewardship of ecosystems and result in net climate mitigation. An ecosystem is broadly defined to include all the living organisms...
Thus, the choice of the number of exponential decay terms is arbitrary if justified only by the goodness of fit. In this work the stretched-exponential function (StrEF) is proposed as an alternative model to fit the fluorescence decay of complex samples, in particular, biological tissue, ...
For example, an interesting dilemma for a debugging tool for parallel applications is the nature of breakpoint semantics as they relate to multiple execution contexts. Specifically, the question is whether to stop all execution contexts or just the one that encounters a breakpoint. The default beha...

prevailing risk-free rate (usually the yield on U.S. Treasurys) plus a premium to compensate for their uncertain nature. There are a lot of common valuation metrics, like the ratio of price to sales, or to earnings, but they’re largely subsumed by the discounted cash flow, or DCF, ...
in the global diversity of marine invertebrates after imposing mass extinctions. We find that the dynamics of global diversity are best described by a diversification model that operates widely within the exponential growth regime of a logistic function. A spatially resolved analysis of the ratio of ...
Evoked iGluSnFR fluorescence transients were highly localized along the dendrites, with increased change in fluorescence (ΔF/F) over ~1 µm (Fig. S3e, g). Based on the spatial extent and the stochastic nature of the evoked responses, we presume that these ΔF/F transients originate ...
As a result, different probability distributions are considered for the error term: two normal distributions and one exponential distribution. We analyzed the nature of the output’s PDF and its changes following different kinds of disruption. The aforementioned, allows for laying the foundations to ...
