New estimate of Sun's distance

Supramolecular NanoStamping (SuNS)

When a useful device is developed, it always requires a mass-production technique to industrialize it. In the era of nano/biotechnology, the development of printing techniques has not followed the speed of the inventions of novel devices. One of the main challenges is handling at the same time the resolution and the chemical complexity of these nano/biodevices. Here a new stamping technique, Su...

Maximum-Likelihood Estimate for Distance Matrix

The structure of relationship among subjects is an interesting topic in many social studies, especially phylogeny. The between-subject relationships are commonly measured by similarity or dissimilarity metrics and represented using a distance matrix. Based on this distance matrix, a tree can be constructed to characterize the overall structure of inferred relationships among all subjects. Curre...

Some properties of a new fuzzy distance measure

A robust new metric of phenotypic distance to estimate and compare multiple trait differences among populations

Whereas a rich literature exists for estimating population genetic divergence, metrics of phenotypic trait divergence are lacking, particularly for comparing multiple traits among three or more populations. Here, we review and analyze via simulation Hedges’ g, a widely used parametric estimate of effect size. Our analyses indicate that g is sensitive to a combination of unequal trait variances ...

Recursively Arbitrarily Vertex-decomposable Suns

A graph G = (V,E) is arbitrarily vertex decomposable if for any sequence τ of positive integers adding up to |V |, there is a sequence of vertex-disjoint subsets of V whose orders are given by τ , and which induce connected graphs. The aim of this paper is to study the recursive version of this problem on a special class of graphs called suns. This paper is a complement of [O. Baudon, F. Gilber...
