TL;DR: The ecological risk assessment method described here is centered on the use of probabilistic distribution functions that independently describe exposure concentrations and toxicological responses of organisms to the chemical of concern and is illustrated using data for chlorpyrifos in North American aquatic environments.

29 May 2014TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a unique presentation of Einstein's theory by developing powerful methods that can be applied to astrophysical systems, such as planetary motion around the Sun, the timing of binary pulsars, and gravitational waves emitted by binary black holes.
Abstract: This textbook explores approximate solutions to general relativity and their consequences. It offers a unique presentation of Einstein's theory by developing powerful methods that can be applied to astrophysical systems. Beginning with a uniquely thorough treatment of Newtonian gravity, the book develops post-Newtonian and post-Minkowskian approximation methods to obtain weak-field solutions to the Einstein field equations. The book explores the motion of self-gravitating bodies, the physics of gravitational waves, and the impact of radiative losses on gravitating systems. It concludes with a brief overview of alternative theories of gravity. Ideal for graduate courses on general relativity and relativistic astrophysics, the book examines real-life applications, such as planetary motion around the Sun, the timing of binary pulsars, and gravitational waves emitted by binary black holes. Text boxes explore related topics and provide historical context, and over 100 exercises present challenging tests of the material covered in the main text.

TL;DR: Two methods to monitor the convergence and estimate the uncertainty of sensitivity analysis techniques are proposed based on the central limit theorem and the bootstrap technique to assess five differentensitivity analysis techniques applied to an environmental model.
Abstract: Sensitivity analysis plays an important role in model development, calibration, uncertainty analysis, scenario analysis, and, hence, decision making. With the availability of different sensitivity analysis techniques, selecting an appropriate technique, monitoring the convergence and estimating the uncertainty of the sensitivity indices are very crucial for environmental modelling, especially for distributed models due to their high non-linearity, non-monotonicity, highly correlated parameters, and intensive computational requirements. It would be useful to identify whether some techniques outperform others with respect to computational requirements, reliability, and other criteria. This paper proposes two methods to monitor the convergence and estimate the uncertainty of sensitivity analysis techniques. One is based on the central limit theorem and the other on the bootstrap technique. These two methods are implemented to assess five different sensitivity analysis techniques applied to an environmental model. These techniques are: the Sobol' method, the Morris method, Linear Regression (LR), Regionalized Sensitivity Analysis (RSA), and non-parametric smoothing. The results show that: (i) the Sobol' method is very robust in quantifying sensitivities and ranking parameters despite a large number of model evaluations; (ii) the Morris method is efficient to rank out unimportant parameters at a medium cost; (iii) the non-parametric smoothing is reliable and robust in quantifying the main effects and low-order interactions while requiring a small number of model evaluations; finally (iv) the other two techniques, that is, LR and RSA, should be used with care.

TL;DR: This work affirms the existence of a conserved complement of poxvirus-specific core genes and expands the growing repertoire of virus genes that confer the unique capacity of each poxVirus family member to counter the immune responses of the infected host.
