When measured over decades in countries that have been relatively stable, returns from stocks have been substantially better than returns from bonds. This is often attributed to investors’ risk aversion: stocks are thought to be riskier than bonds, and so investors will pay less for an expected return from stocks than for the same expected return from bonds. The game-theoretic probability-free ...

Accurate and rapid evaluation of the regional eco-environment is critical to policy formulation. The remote sensing ecological index (RSEI) model Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone (GBGEZ) during 2001–2020 was established evaluated using four indices: dryness, wetness, greenness, heat. This paper proposes an information granulation method for based on RSEI value that uses granular computing. We f...

The dynamics of plants’ carbon and water use efficiency their responses to drought are crucial the sustainable development arid semi-arid environments. This study used trend analysis partial correlation examine (CUE) (WUE) Inner Mongolia’s vegetation from 2001 2020. MODIS data for gross primary productivity (GPP), net (NPP), potential evapotranspiration (PET), (ET), severity index (DSI), plant ...

A new species of Habralictus Moure (Apoidea, Halictidae) is described from the island of Dominica, Habralictus gonzalezisp. n. The species is distinguished from other West Indian Habralictus and a key is provided to the West Indian Habralictus. Brief comments on the genus Habralictus and bee species of Dominica are provided.

We measured the mechanical properties of the respiratory system of C57BL/6 mice using the optimal ventilation waveform method in closed- and open-chest conditions at different positive end-expiratory pressures. The tissue damping (G), tissue elastance (H), airway resistance (Raw), and hysteresivity were obtained by fitting the impedance data to three different models: a constant-phase model by ...
