2 Summary 20 We present a case study of the ranking and weighting of ground-motion prediction equations (GMPE) 21 for seismic hazard assessment of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGSs). The study region is Cooper 22 Basin (Australia), where a hot-fractured-rock project was established in 2002. We test the applicability 23 of 36 GMPEs based on stochastic simulations previously proposed for use at E...

In this paper, we apply a non-parametric rank-based technique to analyze nine asset pricing anomalies. We demonstrate that many anomalies are non-monotonic, i.e. the relations between anomalous characteristics and abnormal expected returns have statistically different signs for low and high values of characteristics. We argue that due to the presence of non-monotonicity the similarity between a...

Under the umbrella of the Semantic Web, Linking Open Data projects have made available a large number of semantically intraand inter-connected links. As an example, in the biomedical domain, data about disorders, disease related genes and proteins, clinical trials, and drugs or interventions are accessible on the Linked Open Data cloud. In addition, domain ontologies have been used to annotate ...

With the number of channels in the hundreds instead of in the tens hyperspectral imagery possesses much richer spectral information than multispectral imagery .The increased dimensionality of such hyperspectral data provides a challenge to the current technique for analyzing data. Conventional classification methods may not be used without dimension reduction preprocessing. Supervised classific...

Precipitation extremes such as heavy rainfall and floods are of great interest for climate scientists, particularly small islands vulnerable to weather phenomena hurricanes. In this study, we investigated the spatio-temporal evolution extreme over Cuba from 1980 2019, separating dry rainy periods. addition, a ranking precipitation events was performed, which provides number events, area affecte...

The high temperature hydrothermal convection system underlying northwestern Dixie Valley, Nevada, is probably responsible for the development of certain geobotanical anomalies in the area. A large “die-off’ of Bailey’s greasewood (Sarcobatus baileyi) has been observed over the last several months and appears to be related to activity that preceded the appearance of a new fumarole. AVIRIS (Advan...

The spectral ζ-function regularized geometry of the determinant line bundle for a family of first-order elliptic operators over a closed manifold encodes a subtle relation between the local family’s index theorem and fundamental non-local spectral invariants. A great deal of interest has been directed towards a generalization of this theory to families of elliptic boundary value problems. We gi...
