A functional composition of the cumulative distribution function of one probability distribution with the inverse cumulative distribution function of another is called the transmutation map. In this article, we will use the quadratic rank transmutation map (QRTM) in order to generate a flexible family of probability distributions taking Lindley-geometric distribution as the base value distribut...

One of the most important problems in time series analysis of stream flow and rainfall data in an area is selecting the best probability distribution. Since the rainfall stations are associated and correlated with each other, so statistical analysis of the station data seamlessly are very important. Therefore, the first step in data analysis, is selecting the prevailing probability distribution...

To establish the uncertain influence that joint distribution of precipitation and reference evapotranspiration has on net irrigation water requirement, a Copula function–Monte Carlo method (CFMC) was proposed to calculate probability requirement. Taking Jingdian Irrigation District in Northwest China as an example, laws were studied. Furthermore, five typical years under different crop planting...

Although agonists are thought to occupy binding pockets within the seven-helix core of serpentine receptors, the topography of these binding pockets and the conformational changes responsible for receptor activation are poorly understood. To identify the ligand binding pocket in the receptor for complement factor 5a (C5aR), we assessed binding affinities of hexapeptide ligands, each mutated at ...

Abstract. Extensive, long-standing dry and wet episodes are two of the most frequent climatic extreme events in Iberian Peninsula. Here, a method for ranking regional extremes persistent, widespread drought is presented, considering different timescales. The based on multi-scalar Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) gridded dataset Climatic Research Unit (CRU) data used to...
