3D mapping of soil texture in Scotland
Laura Poggio,Alessandro Gimona +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extension of the scorpan-kriging approach, combining geostatistical Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) with Gaussian simulations was used on Additive-Log-Transformed soil particle classes.

Foraging Behavior of Lacewing Larvae (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) on Plants with Divergent Architectures
Teresa L. Clark,Frank J. Messina +1 more
TL;DR: Observations of green lacewing larvae on perennial grasses with divergent leaf architectures suggest that short-term, behavioral studies may help predict the effectiveness of predators at larger spatial and temporal scales.

Financial Consumption and the Cost of Finance: Measuring Financial Efficiency in Europe (1950-2007)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to assess financial intermediation efficiency in Germany, France, the UK, and Europe more broadly, over the past 60 years, based on Philippon's (2012) methodology, which calculates the unit cost of financial intermediary through the ratio of 'financial consumption' | measured by financial income | to 'financial output' | approximated by the sum of outstanding assets intermediated.
Gibbs Sampling for Logistic Normal Topic Models with Graph-Based Priors
TL;DR: This work presents a method for Gibbs sampling in non-conjugate logistic normal topic models, and demonstrates it on a new class of topic models with arbitrary graph-structured priors that reflect the complex relationships commonly found in document collections, while retaining simple, robust inference.

The cuticular hydrocarbons profiles in the stingless bee Melipona marginata reflect task-related differences.
Maria Juliana Ferreira-Caliman,Fabio S. Nascimento,Isabel Cristina Casanova Turatti,Sidnei Mateus,Norberto Peporine Lopes,Ronaldo Zucchi +5 more
TL;DR: The results showed that cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of workers were composed of alkanes, alkenes and alkadienes that varied quantitatively and qualitatively according to function of workers in the colony.

Problems of relative growth
TL;DR: This detailed study of the different rates of growth of parts of the body relative to the body as a whole represents Sir Julian Huxley's great contribution to analytical morphology, and it is still a basis for modern investigations in morphometrics and evolutionary biology.

Experiments with Mixtures: Designs, Models and the Analysis of Mixture Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the original Mixture Problem is described and models for exploring the Entire Simplex Factor Space are presented, including matrix algebra, least squares, and the analysis of variance.
New statistical methods for allometry with application to
TL;DR: In this paper, Mosimann et al. presented new statistical methods for the study of size and shape, and used these methods to study the morphology of red-winged blackbirds, Agelaius phoeniceus breeding in Florida.

Analysis of dispersion on a sphere
TL;DR: In this article, a series of approximate tests of significance is given for hypotheses about the precision constant K and the polar vector on a sphere, where 8' is the angle between the polar and observation vectors.
