TL;DR: In this article, the authors present tractive performance test data obtained using an instrumented four-wheel-drive tractor with seven different sets of tires at various theoretical speed ratios and conclude that proper matching of front and rear tire sizes and careful control of the inflation pressure and normal load of the tires to ensure the theoretical speed ratio equal or close to one are of practical importance.
Abstract: Analytical studies reveal that for a four-wheel-drive tractor with rigidly coupled drive axles to achieve the optimum tractive performance under a given operating condition, the theoretical speed (the product of angular speed and free rolling radius) of the front tires must be equal to that of the rear tires, or the theoretical speed ratio must be one. This paper presents tractive performance test data obtained using an instrumented four-wheel-drive tractor with seven different sets of tires at various theoretical speed ratios. Field data confirm the analytical findings that when the theoretical speed ratio is equal to one, the slip efficiency and tractive efficiency reach their respective peaks, the fuel efficiency (the ratio of drawbar power to fuel consumed per hour) reaches a maximum, and the overall tractive performance is at an optimum. It is concluded that to achieve optimum tractive performance in the field, proper matching of front and rear tire sizes and careful control of the inflation pressure and normal load of the tires to ensure the theoretical speed ratio equal or close to one are of practical importance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that measures on tail dependence can be estimated in a convenient way by regression analysis, which yields the same estimates as the non-parametric method within the multivariate Extreme Value Theory framework.
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to show that measures on tail dependence can be estimated in a convenient way by regression analysis. This yields the same estimates as the non-parametric method within the multivariate Extreme Value Theory framework. The advantage of the regression approach is contained by its straightforward extension to the estimation of higher dimensional tail dependence. We provide an example on international stock markets. The regression approach to tail dependence can be applied to estimate several measures of systemic importance of financial institutions in the literature.

TL;DR: The current status of in silico tools for the assessment of each KC is summarized and the data gaps that need to be addressed are identified before a comprehensive insilico carcinogenicity protocol can be developed for regulatory use.

Abstract: This is the fourth chapter of a forthcoming monograph entitled "On Implementing Full-Fledged Inflation- Targeting Regimes: Saying What You Do and Doing What You Say." It examines a number of issues related to transparency and accountability in an inflation-targeting regime. It first looks at the factors behind the move to increased transparency in recent years and the important role of a communications strategy in transparency. It then turns to the role of the forecast in communications, how risks surrounding the forecast are communicated, and whether there should be limits on what is made public. It concludes with a short discussion of accountability.

TL;DR: An examination of tree phytomass and trace metal concentrations (w/w) and pools in the tree stratum and forest floor of a sugar maple-yellow birch forest was carried out at Turkey Lakes Watershed, Algoma District, Ontario as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: An examination of tree phytomass and trace metal concentrations (w/w) and pools in the tree stratum and forest floor of a sugar maple-yellow birch forest was carried out at Turkey Lakes Watershed, Algoma District, Ontario. Estimated aboveground tree phytomass (167,500 kg ha−1) was dominated by stemwood, branches greater > 2 cm, and stem bark. Highest trace metal concentrations were found in foliage (Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni) and stem bark (Cd, Pb, Zn). Concentrations of essential trace metals found in all sugar maple components followed the expected sequence of Mn> Fe> Zn> Cu. Lead and Ni concentations were always higher than those of Cd. Concentrations of essential elements in foliage and other components were comparable to those reported in the literature for other localities in North America. There was no indication that availability of essential trace elements (e.g., Cu) to vegetation had been increased as a result of increased atmospheric deposition. Lead, Ni and Cd levels in vegetation and forest floor were lower than those reported for similar forested areas of the northeastern United States.
