In structured populations, persistence under environmental change may be particularly threatened when abiotic factors simultaneously negatively affect survival and reproduction of several life cycle stages, as opposed to a single stage. [...]

10 p, 3.7 MB Low-level spatiochromatic grouping for saliency estimation / Murray, Naila (Xerox Research Centre Europe (France)) ; Vanrell i Martorell, Maria Isabel (Centre de Visió per Computador (Bellaterra, Catalunya)) ; Otazu Porter, Xavier (Centre de Visió per Computador (Bellaterra, Catalunya)) ; Parraga, Carlos Alejandro (Centre de Visió per Computador (Bellaterra, Catalunya))
We propose a saliency model termed SIM (saliency by induction mechanisms), which is based on a low-level spatiochromatic model that has successfully predicted chromatic induction phenomena. In so doing, we hypothesize that the low-level visual mechanisms that enhance or suppress image detail are also responsible for making some image regions more salient. [...]

Departamento de Ecología Integrativa) ; Marcer, Arnald (Centre de Recerca Ecològica i d'Aplicacions Forestals)
Global climate change (GCC) may be causing distribution range shifts in many organisms worldwide. Multiple efforts are currently focused on the development of models to better predict distribution range shifts due to GCC. [...]

Departamento de Ecología Integrativa) ; Alonso-Blanco, Carlos (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas. Centro Nacional de Biotecnología. Departamento de Genética Molecular de Plantas)
Disentangling the drivers of genetic differentiation is one of the cornerstones in evolution. This is because genetic diversity, and the way in which it is partitioned within and among populations across space, is an important asset for the ability of populations to adapt and persist in changing environments.

32 p, 679.1 KB Los límites de la lealtad ideológica en la evaluación ciudadana del "performance" administrativo local / González Rodríguez, Benjamín (Universidade da Coruña. Facultade de Socioloxía) ; Carreras Romero, Enrique (Universidad San Pablo CEU. Facultad de Económicas y Empresariales)
Cada vez son más los artículos que consideran la opinión ciudadana como información esencial para evaluar la acción administrativa local. La investigación reciente viene demostrando la presencia de un vínculo empírico entre la calidad percibida de los servicios locales y la intención de conducta favorable al titular del gobierno local. [...]
Articles increasingly consider public opinion as essential information for assessing the actions of local administrations. Recent research has demonstrated the existence of an empirical link between the perceived quality of local services and favorable behavioral intentions towards the heads of local government. [...]

44 p, 465.9 KB Testing for the existence of clusters (p. 115-158) / Casella, George (University of Florida) ; Fuentes, Claudio (University of Florida)
Detecting and determining clusters present in a certain sample has been an important concern, among researchers from different fields, for a long time. In particular, assessing whether the clusters are statistically significant, is a question that has been asked by a number of experimenters. [...]

24 p, 154.6 KB Likelihood for random-effect models (invited article) / Lee, Youngjo (Seoul National University) ; Nelder, John A. (Imperial College London)
For inferences from random-effect models Lee and Nelder (1996) proposed to use hierarchical likelihood (h-likelihood). It allows inference from models that may include both fixed and random parameters. [...]
The new framework allows likelihood inferences to be drawn for a much wider class of models.
Per a la inferència en models amb efectes aleatoris Lee i Nelder (1996) proposaren utilitzar la versemblança jeràrquica (h-versemblanc¸a). Aquesta permet la inferència en models que presenten a la vegada paràmetres fixos i aleatoris. [...]

36 p, 586.0 KB Robust estimation and forecasting for beta-mixed hierarchical models of grouped binary data / Pashkevich, Maxim ; Kharin, Yurij S. ; Belarusian State University
The paper focuses on robust estimation and forecasting techniques for grouped binary data with misclassified responses. It is assumed that the data are described by the beta-mixed hierarchical model (the beta-binomial or the beta-logistic), while the misclassifications are caused by the stochastic additive distortions of binary observations.

La escala multidimensional jerárquica como instrumento para medir la calidad de los servicios locales / Carreras Romero, Enrique (Universidad San Pablo CEU. Facultad de Económicas y Empresariales) ; González Rodríguez, Benjamín (Universidade da Coruña. Facultade de Socioloxía)
Estamos asistiendo, en los últimos años, a un debate académico sobre la conveniencia y el papel que debería tener la evaluación del ciudadano en los sistemas de medición del desempeño o rendimiento (performance) de la Administración. [...]
In recent years, an academic debate has been launched on the usefulness and role that citizens' assessments should play in measuring public administration performance. Following a review of the literature, we focus on the strategic nature of citizens' views. [...]
