The estimation of the tensile strength of certain brittle fibers at extremely short lengths from tensile strength measurements of these fibers at longer lengths is of fundamental importance in the theory of modern fiber composite materials. We examine a competing risks model in which the fiber strength arises as the minimum of two (independent) Weibull random variables having distinct Weibull e...

For years some ecologists have been convinced that pesticides are contributing to a decline in amphibian species around the globe. From an apparent epidemic of deformed frogs in Minnesota to the near disappearance of yellow-legged frogs from California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains, pesticides have been considered prime suspects. This suspicion is no doubt rooted in the belief by the ecological com...
