Abstract Heart shape captures variation in cardiac structure beyond traditional phenotypes of mass and volume.Although observational studies have demonstrated associations with cardiometabolic risk factors and diseases, its genetic basis is less understood.We utilised cardiovascular magnetic resonance images from 45,683 UK Biobank participants to c
A Pricing Strategy of E-Commerce Advertising Cooperation in the Stackelberg Game Model with Different Market Power Structure
A lot of research work has studied the auction mechanism of uncertain advertising cooperation between the e-commerce platform and advertisers, but little has focused on pricing strategy in stable advertising cooperation under a certain market power structure.To fill this gap, this paper makes a study of the deep interest distribution of two parties
Improving precision of field inventory estimation of aboveground biomass through an alternative view on plot biomass
Abstract We contrast a new continuous approach (CA) for estimating plot-level above-ground biomass (AGB) in forest inventories with the current approach of estimating AGB exclusively from the tree-level AGB predicted for each tree in a plot, henceforth called DA (discrete approach).With the CA, the AGB in a forest is modelled as a continuous surfac
Leveraging Twitter to gauge evacuation compliance: Spatiotemporal analysis of Hurricane Matthew.
Hurricane Matthew was the deadliest Atlantic storm since Katrina in 2005 and prompted one of the largest recent hurricane evacuations along the Southeastern coast of the United States.The storm and its projected landfall triggered a massive social media reaction.Using Twitter data, this paper examines the spatiotemporal variability in social media
