Occasionally, in spite of these measures, remission is delayed, the condition of the patient deteriorates and, when the attack is prolonged, death may occur (Witts, 1936). Autopsy in suc...

Three new genera and species of Mymaridae from the Neotropical region are described: Megamymar waorani Huber, gen. sp. nov. ; Neopolynemoidea chilensis Porcepicus herison Their possible relationships discussed to place them in context among previously described Mymaridae.

Accounting for the finding that brief prime durations facilitate perception of immediate word repetitions whereas long prime durations are detrimental, Huber and O’Reilly (2003) proposed a neural network model in which the unwanted effects of perceptual persistence are counteracted through activity dependent synaptic depression. Rieth and Huber (in prep) found similar results with immediate fac...

The option pricing ability of Robust Artificial Neural Networks optimized with the Huber function is compared against those optimized with Least Squares. Comparison is in respect to pricing European call options on the S&P 500 using daily data for the period April 1998 to August 2001. The analysis is augmented with the use of several historical and implied volatility measures. Implied volatilit...

Abstract Even though the phenomenon of gentrification is ever-growing in contemporary urban contexts, especially high income countries, it has been mostly overlooked by normative political theorists and philosophers. In this paper we examine dimensions through lens food. By drawing on Huber Wolkenstein’s (Huber Wolkenstein, Politics, Philosophy & Economics 17:378–397, 2018) work, use food a...
