Inverse method for estimating respiration rates from decay time series
Long-term organic matter decomposition experiments typically measure the mass lost from decaying organic matter as a function of time. These experiments can provide information about the dynamics of carbon dioxide input to the atmosphere and controls on natural respiration processes. Decay slows down with time, suggesting that organic matter is composed of components (pools) with varied labilit...
متن کاملTime-variable cratering rates?
Using stepwise laser-heating methods, Culler et al. (1) determined the Ar/Ar formation ages of 155 lunar impact melt beads from a soil sampled during the Apollo 14 mission. Because relatively old ages of .3 billion years (Gy) and fairly young ages of ,0.4 Gy dominate, Culler et al. concluded that the cratering rate in the inner solar system decreased by a factor of 2 to 3 during the past 3 Gy a...
متن کاملModified Sampling Strategies Using Correlation Coefficient for Estimating Population Mean
This paper proposes two sampling strategies based on the modified ratio estimator using the population mean of auxiliary variable and population correlation coefficient between the study variable and the auxiliary variable by Singh and Tailor (2003) for estimating the population mean (total) of the study variable in a finite population. A comparative study is made with usual sampling strategies...
متن کاملEstimating P ( Y < X ) using Ranked Set Sampling in Case of the Exponential Distributions
The problem of making statistical inference about P(Y<X) has been under great investigation in the literature using simple random sampling (SRS) data. This problem arises naturally in the area of reliability for a system with strength X and stress Y. In this study, we will consider making statistical inference about using ranked set sampling (RSS) data. Several estimators are proposed to estima...
متن کاملHidden variable theory supports variability in decay rates of nuclides
PROBLEMThe orthodox expectation is for decay rates to be strictly constant for all types of decay (β+, β-, EC, α). However empirical results show strong evidence for nuclides having variable decay rates, typically evident as periodicity. The volume of data available suggests this is a real phenomenon, not merely a spurious outcome of measurement errors. However the problem is complex because th...
