A flexible way to study composites in ecology using structural equation modeling by Xi Yu, Florian Schuberth, Jörg Henseler

“…In practice, however, researchers relying on the common approaches to study composites encounter limitations in flexibly specifying composites with structural equation modeling (SEM). To enrich the researchers’ statistical toolbox and to flexibly model composites in structural equation models, we introduce the Henseler–Ogasawara (H–O) specification to the field of ecology. …”

Nonlinear stability of traveling wavefronts in an age-structured reaction-diffusion population model by Guangrui Li, Ming Mei, Yau Shu Wong

“…The paper is devoted to the study of a time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation of age-structured single species population. Linear stabilityfor this model was first presented by Gourley [4], when the time delay is small.Here, we extend the previous result to the nonlinear stability by using thetechnical weighted-energy method, when the initial perturbation around thewavefront decays to zero exponentially as x→-∞, but the initial perturbationcan be arbitrarily large on other locations. …”

Modified Modal Pushover Design for Asymmetric-Plan RC Shear-Wall Structures by Mohammad Sadegh Birzhandi, Daniyal Mirzakhani

“…The goal of this research is to provide a new method for designing reinforced concrete wall structures with a one-way asymmetric plan. This presented method is called the modified modal pushover design method (MMPD), which uses assumptions of modified modal pushover analysis (MMPA) for estimating the responses of structures. …”
