People with intellectual disability (ID) and extensive support needs experience poorer quality of life than their peers whose disability is not as severe. Many of them live in residential settings that limit community participation and prevent them f...
A study is made of the progressive ‘decoherence’ of cosmic ray extensive air-shower particle-detector signals in small air showers through measurements of coincidence rates for pairs of detectors versus the detector separation. Measuremen...
To describe the movement of asset prices accurately, we employ the non-extensive statistical mechanics and the semi-Markov process to establish an asset price model. The model can depict the peak and fat tail characteristics of returns and the regime...
The environmental impact of beef cattle production varies significantly across farming systems, influenced by factors like feed, management practices, and land use. By applying the LCA perspective with “from cradle to farm gate” boundarie...
