We present recent progress within the NNPDF parton analysis framework. After a brief review of the results from the DIS NNPDF analysis, NNPDF1.0, we discuss results from an updated analysis with independent parametrizations for the strange and anti-strange distributions, denoted by NNPDF1.1. We examine the phenomenological implications of this improved analysis for the strange PDFs. Introductio...

Background: Investigators using metagenomic sequencing to study microbiomes often trim and decontaminate reads without knowing their effect on downstream analyses. Objective: This was designed evaluate the impacts JGI trimming decontamination procedures have assembly binning metrics, placement of MAGs into species trees, functional profiles extracted from complex rhizosphere metagenomes, as wel...

River is one of the water resources that widely used to meet raw needs. Along with changing conditions in river basin, changes land use and population growth make not function optimally as it should. One natural phenomena threatens existence human life several regions Indonesia every time rainy season enters sure experience flooding, especially Jambi city area. This due reduced capacity drainag...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) methodology that connects several methods, from geometrical design post-process selection, into common optimisation framework. Design/methodology/approach A formulated and tested in case study. outcome the study analysed by comparing obtained results with alternative designs achieved using other methods. ...

The economic growth of a country is inseparable from the balance trade, mainly export and import activity. Globalization urges to actively socialize provide infrastructure facilities support productivity improve competitiveness in international market. Increasing commodity value affects trade reach surplus, increasing causes deficit. This study aims analyze Indonesia’s non-oil gas market concen...

The Carbon Kuznets hypothesis conjectures an inverse U–shape relation between GDP and carbon dioxide emissions. We investigate a number of empirical problems with this hypothesis by way of both econometric analysis and CGE modelling. The econometric analysis takes into account the possibility of unit root non–stationary regressors. On a panel of 107 countries covering the years from 1986 to 199...

A self-report version of the Lifetime History of Impulsive Behaviors (LHIB) interview was developed and its psychometric properties examined. Initially, forty-two personality disordered and 20 control subjects completed both the interview (I) and self-report (Q53) versions of the LHIB along with other self-report measures of impulsivity and an assessment of venturesomeness and empathy.The LHIB-...

Evidence suggests that a large majority of firms and individuals comply with regulations and tax laws even when fines for noncompliance are small or the frequency of inspections and audits is low. These observations are not consistent with static compliance models. Harrington (1988) developed a dynamic enforcement model in which some agents have an incentive to comply even when the cost of comp...

We build a workable game of common-property resource extraction under rational Bayesian learning about the renewal prospects of a resource. We uncover the impact of exogenously shifting the prior beliefs of each player on the response functions of others. What we …nd about the role of environmental conservation campaigns is paradoxical. To the extent that such campaigns instill overly high pess...
