TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the principal issues of extremal dependence is provided through a unified approach which encompasses both the limiting and independent cases of extreme dependence, and diagnostic measures for dependence are also developed.
Abstract: Quantifying dependence is a central theme in probabilistic and statistical methods for multivariate extreme values. Two situations are possible: one where, in a limiting sense, the extremes are dependent; the other where, in the same sense, the extremes are independent. This paper comprises an overview of the principal issues through a unified approach which encompasses both these situations. Novel diagnostic measures for dependence are also developed which provide complementary information about different aspects of extremal dependence. The paper is written in an elementary style, with the methodology illustrated by application to theoretical examples and typical data-sets. These data-sets and the S-plus functions used for the analyses are available online.

TL;DR: A robust approach for sample preparation, instrumentation, acquisition parameters and data processing is explored and it is expected that a typical Raman experiment can be performed by a nonspecialist user to generate high-quality data for biological materials analysis.
Abstract: Raman spectroscopy can be used to measure the chemical composition of a sample, which can in turn be used to extract biological information. Many materials have characteristic Raman spectra, which means that Raman spectroscopy has proven to be an effective analytical approach in geology, semiconductor, materials and polymer science fields. The application of Raman spectroscopy and microscopy within biology is rapidly increasing because it can provide chemical and compositional information, but it does not typically suffer from interference from water molecules. Analysis does not conventionally require extensive sample preparation; biochemical and structural information can usually be obtained without labeling. In this protocol, we aim to standardize and bring together multiple experimental approaches from key leaders in the field for obtaining Raman spectra using a microspectrometer. As examples of the range of biological samples that can be analyzed, we provide instructions for acquiring Raman spectra, maps and images for fresh plant tissue, formalin-fixed and fresh frozen mammalian tissue, fixed cells and biofluids. We explore a robust approach for sample preparation, instrumentation, acquisition parameters and data processing. By using this approach, we expect that a typical Raman experiment can be performed by a nonspecialist user to generate high-quality data for biological materials analysis.

TL;DR: An investigation of the spin structure of the proton in deep inelastic scattering of polarised muons on polarised protons was performed in this article, where the spin was investigated in the context of the deep scattering process of polarized muons.

TL;DR: The area of group key management is surveyed, proposed solutions are classified according to those characteristics, and an insight given to their features and goals.
Abstract: Group communication can benefit from IP multicast to achieve scalable exchange of messages. However, there is a challenge of effectively controlling access to the transmitted data. IP multicast by itself does not provide any mechanisms for preventing nongroup members to have access to the group communication. Although encryption can be used to protect messages exchanged among group members, distributing the cryptographic keys becomes an issue. Researchers have proposed several different approaches to group key management. These approaches can be divided into three main classes: centralized group key management protocols, decentralized architectures and distributed key management protocols. The three classes are described here and an insight given to their features and goals. The area of group key management is then surveyed and proposed solutions are classified according to those characteristics.

TL;DR: The methodology, principal uncertainties and selected results from an inventory, aiming to quantify the global production and consumption of total PCBs as well as 22 PCB congeners are presented, suggest that almost 97% of the global historical use of PCBs have occurred in the Northern Hemisphere.
