Evaluating the complexity of some families of functional data
No full textIn this paper we study the complexity of a functional data set drawn from particular processes by means of a two-step approach. The first step considers a new graphical tool for assessing to which family the data belong: the main aim is to detect whether a sample comes from a monomial or an exponential family. This first tool is based on a nonparametric kNN estimation of small ball probability. Once the family is specified, the second step consists in evaluating the extent of complexity by estimating some specific indexes related to the assigned family. It turns out that the developed methodology is fully free from assumptions on model, distribution as well as dominating measure. Computational issues are carried out by means of simulations and finally the method is applied to analyse some financial real curves dataset

How mowing restores montane Mediterranean grasslands following cessation of traditional livestock grazing
No full textTraditional land-use cessation allows the spread of invasive tall-grass species and thus leads to a reduction in grassland biodiversity. We hypothesized that long-term multi-year mowing of invaded grassland fosters the recovery of its taxonomic diversity and functional composition by reducing the dominance of the tall grass species Brachypodium rupestre, and that this change increases the pasture feed value. In 2010, we fenced part of a grassland, abandoned for about 30 years, invaded by Brachypodium rupestre (1 ha) in the central Apennine ridge (1,000–1,300 m a.s.l.), and cut it twice a year for six years; another area (1 ha) was fenced and left unmown. Before the experiment started, we recorded species cover in 30 random sampling units (0.5 × 0.5 m) in the experimental area and in the unmown area. The sampling was repeated for the experimental area, every year for six years, except 2013, while it was done for the unmown area only at the end of the six years. We investigated the effect of the reduction of Brachypodium rupestre over time on taxonomic diversity indices, functional traits and pastoral value, using species accumulation curves and generalized linear mixed-effect modelling. Twice-yearly mowing was effective in reducing the abundance of B. rupestre (mean cover 50.7 ± 19.8 % Standard deviation to 9.0 ± 7.2 %), and in increasing significantly species richness (16.6 ± 3.0–26.8 ± 3.2), exponential Shannon (8.8 ± 2.8–14.4 ± 2.7), but not Shannon evenness (0.53 ± 0.1 to 0.54 ± 0.1). At the end of the treatment quite stable richness and diversity values were reached. Reduction of B. rupestre cover increased the pastoral value of the system (39 ± 12 %–64 ± 8 % of pabular species relative cover) and promoted the presence of species without vegetative propagation (17.8 ± 12.3–28.2 ± 10.9), with pleiocorms (25.4 ± 14.3–49.6 ± 17.9), rosettes (5.6 ± 5.6–16.6 ± 12.7) and hemirosettes (32.1 ± 15.8–47.7 ± 13.6), but caused a decrease in species whose clonal growth organs have prevalent vertical spread (123.9 ± 25.7–97.0 ± 23.3), reptant (60.3 ± 20.9–20.2 ± 10.4), and late flowering species (67.4 ± 19.9–46.3 ± 17.2). The decrease of B. rupestre and the increase in mowing frequency reduced the abundance of species with clonal growth organs with prevalent horizontal spread (66.0 ± 19.5–17.9 ± 10.7), caespitose species (96.7 ± 20.9–43.6 ± 21.9), and grasses (94.0 ± 19.5–43.3 ± 22.0). Recurrent twice-yearly mowing seems to be appropriate in the restoration of sub-Mediterranean grasslands invaded by competitive species, facilitating the re-introduction of traditional grazing

Exploring the statistical applicability of the Poincaré inequality: a test of normality
No full textA new test of normality based on Poincaré inequality is proposed and analyzed. It rests on the characterization of the normal distribution given by Borovkov and Utev, i. e., a r. v. is normal if and only if its Poincaré constant is equal to its variance. The test statistic is computed by estimating the Poincaré constant via orthonormal polynomials. In case of known expectation and variance, the asymptotic distribution of the test statistic is derived under the null hypothesis, and the consistency of the test is proved. An analysis of effects of the degree of polynomials on the procedure is sketched. A Monte Carlo method is used to approximate the distribution when population expectation and variance are replaced by their empirical counterparts. In this framework, we study the level and power of the test for finite samples by means of a simulation experiment including a comparison with other tests
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Phase Change Materials in Transparent Building Envelopes: A Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) Analysis
No full textBuilding envelopes can play a crucial role in building improvement efficiency, and the adoption of Phase Change Materials (PCMs), coupled with transparent elements, may: (i) allow a better control of the heat flows from/to the outdoor environment, (ii) increase the exploitation of solar energy at a building scale and (iii) modulate light transmission in order to prevent glare effects. Starting from a literature review, focused on experimental works, this research identifies the main possible integrations of PCMs in transparent/translucent building envelope components (in glazing, in shutters and in multilayer façade system) in order to draw a global picture of the potential and limitations of these technologies. Transparent envelopes with PCMs have been classified from the simplest “zero” technology, which integrates the PCM in a double glass unit (DGU), to more complex solutions—with a different number of glass cavities (triple glazed unit TGU), different positions of the PCM layer (internal/external shutter), and in combination with other materials (TIM, aerogel, prismatic solar reflector, PCM curtain controlled by an electric pump). The results of the analysis have been summarised in a Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis table to underline the strengths and weaknesses of transparent building envelope components with PCMs, and to indicate opportunities and threats for future research and building applications
