We devise a general result on the consistency of model-based bootstrap methods for U and V -statistics under easily verifiable conditions. For that purpose we derive the limit distribution of degree-2 degenerate U and V -statistics for weakly dependent Rd-valued random variables first. To this end, only some moment conditions and smoothness assumptions concerning the kernel are required. Based ...

We study asymptotics of parameter estimates in conditional heteroscedastic models. The estimators considered are those obtained by minimizing certain functionals and those obtained by solving estimation equations. We establish consistency and derive asymptotic limit laws of the estimators. Condition under which the limit law is normal is studied. Further, bootstrap for these estimators is discu...

The indoor 222Rn radionuclide was directly absorbed in typical 20 ml glass scintillation vials by passing -3 dm3 of ambient air through 16 ml of water-immiscible non-volataile scintillation cocktail Ultima-Gold F for 10 min. The activity of radon and its two α-emitting daughters: 218Po and 214Po, was determined with the BetaScout low-background liquid scintillation counter. The limit of 222Rn d...

The consistency of the theory ZF+AD+“every set of reals is universally Baire” is proved relative to ZFC + “there is a cardinal λ that is a limit of Woodin cardinals and of strong cardinals.” The proof is based on the derived model construction, which was used by Woodin to show that the theory ZF+AD+“every set of reals is Suslin” is consistent relative to ZFC+“there is a cardinal λ that is a lim...

This paper studies a Laplace operator on semi-discrete surfaces. A semidiscrete surface is represented by a mapping into three-dimensional Euclidean space possessing one discrete and one continuous variable. It can be seen as a limit case of a quadrilateral mesh, or as a semi-discretization of a smooth surface. Laplace operators on both smooth and discrete surfaces have been an object of intere...

We discuss the holographic description of Narain $U(1)^c\times U(1)^c$ conformal field theories, and their potential similarity to conventional weakly coupled gravity in bulk, sense that effective IR bulk includes "$U(1)$ gravity" amended with additional light degrees freedom. Starting from this picture, we formulate hypothesis large central charge limit density states any theory is bounded by ...

Due to its low permeability, a clay liner is the main material used in solid waste disposal landfills. It is exposed there to various chemical, biological, and physical events, and the clay liner is affected by the resulting leachate. For this reason, when attempting to define the geotechnical characteristics of clay liners, the use of distilled water or tap water is far from being representati...

Recently developed concept of dissipative measure-valued solution for compressible flows is a suitable tool to describe oscillations and singularities possibly in solutions multidimensional Euler equations. In this paper we study the convergence first-order finite volume method based on exact Riemann solver complete Specifically, derive entropy inequality prove consistency numerical method. Pas...

This project explores the topic of what causes respondents in a survey situation to answer more or less consistently across time to the identical political issue questions. This discussion was begun by Philip Converse in 1964, who used data from the 1956-1958-1960 American National Election Studies panel survey to put forth the idea that certain respondents were generally more consistent across...
