Scaling of causal neural avalanches in a neutral model

Neural avalanches are collective firings of neurons that exhibit emergent scale-free behavior.Understanding the nature and distribution of these avalanches is an important element in understanding how the brain functions.We study a model of neural avalanches for which the dynamics are governed by neutral theory.The neural avalanches are defined usi

Current and previous spatial distributions of oilseed rape fields influence the abundance and the body size of a solitary wild bee, Andrena cineraria, in permanent grasslands.

Wild bees are essential pollinators whose survival partly depends on the capacity of their environment to offer a sufficient amount of nectar and pollen.Semi-natural habitats and mass-flowering crops such as oilseed rape provide abundant floristic resources for bees.The aim of this study was to evaluate the influences of the spatial distribution of

Risk and Probability Premiums for Cara Utility Functions

The risk premium and the probability premium are used to determine appropriate coefficients of absolute risk aversion under CARA utility.A defensible diwan/sette range of risk aversion coefficients is defined by the coefficients that correspond to risk premiums falling between 1 and 99% of the amount at risk or to probability premiums falling betwe
