Encounter Rate By Turbulent Shear Of Particles Similar In Diameter To The Kolmogorov Scale, P. S. Hill, A. R. M. Nowell, P. A. Jumars Jan 1992

Encounter Rate By Turbulent Shear Of Particles Similar In Diameter To The Kolmogorov Scale, P. S. Hill, A. R. M. Nowell, P. A. Jumars

Journal of Marine Research

To clarify the rate at which particles similar in size to the smallest eddies in a turbulent fluid encounter one another via turbulent shear, 3-D video motion analysis was used to make direct measurements of relative velocities between closely spaced, near-neutrally buoyant, 700-μm mean diameter, polystyrene latex spheres suspended in an oscillating-grid turbulence tank. Smallest eddy size, termed the Kolmogorov scale, λ, was estimated as (ν3/ε)0.25 where ν is fluid viscosity and ε is the dissipation rate of turbulent kinetic energy. For runs made in water, the effective particle diameter examined was ≈ 3–6 times …

The Tail Behavior Of Maximum Likelihood Estimates Of Cointegrating Coefficients In Error Correction Models, Peter C.B. Phillips Oct 1991

The Tail Behavior Of Maximum Likelihood Estimates Of Cointegrating Coefficients In Error Correction Models, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper derives exact finite sample distributions of maximum likelihood estimators of the cointegrating coefficients in error correction models. The distributions are derived for the leading case where the variables in the system are independent random walks. But important aspects of the theory, in particular the tail behavior of the distributions, continue to apply when the system is cointegrated. The reduced rank regression estimator is shown to have a distribution with Cauchy-like tails and no finite moments of integer order. The maximum likelihood estimator of the coefficients in the triangular system representation has matrix t -distribution tails with finite integer …


Vector Autoregression And Causality: A Theoretical Overview And Simulation Study, Hiro Y. Toda, Peter C.B. Phillips Oct 1991

Vector Autoregression And Causality: A Theoretical Overview And Simulation Study, Hiro Y. Toda, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper provides a theoretical overview of Wald tests for Granger causality in levels vector autoregressions (VAR’s) and Johansen-type error correction models (ECM’s). for VAR models the results for inference are not encouraging. The limit theory typically involves nonstandard distributions and nuisance parameters, and there is no sound statistical basis for testing causality in such a framework. Granger causality tests in ECM’s also suffer from nuisance parameter dependencies asymptotically and nonstandard limit theory. But, in spite of these difficulties Johansen-type ECM’s do offer a sound basis for empirical testing of the rank of the cointegration space and the rank of …


Unidentified Components In Reduced Rank Regression Estimation Of Ecm's, Peter C.B. Phillips Oct 1991

Unidentified Components In Reduced Rank Regression Estimation Of Ecm's, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

Reduced rank regression procedures in error correction models (ECM’s) permit consistent estimation of the cointegration space but do not provide consistent estimates of individual structural relations when the dimension of the cointegration space is greater than one. Indeed, individual structural cointegrating equations are unidentified without additional a priori restrictions, just as in the conventional simultaneous equations framework. The effect of this lack of identification is explored by considering the distributions and limit distributions of reduced rank regression estimates of unidentified components of the cointegrating matrix in a typical VAR formulation of the ECM. Some recommendations are made for empirical practice.

Angiosperm Ovules And Carpels: Their Characters And Polarities, Distribution In Basal Clades, And Structural Evolution, David Winship Taylor Aug 1991

Angiosperm Ovules And Carpels: Their Characters And Polarities, Distribution In Basal Clades, And Structural Evolution, David Winship Taylor

Postilla

Angiosperm ovules and carpels have numerous characters and character states, not all of which have been utilized in phylogenetic analyses. A character analysis of these two organs is performed, including description of characters and states, and character polarization to identify the ancestral states. In addition, the distributions of these states are examined in the Magnoliidae and putatively basal orders of Hamamelidae, Caryophyllidae, Dilleniidae, Rosidae, Alismatidae (sensu Cronquist 1981), and Liliiflorae (sensu Dahlgren et al. 1985). These support two hypotheses: the ancestral ovules were orthotropous, bitegmic and crassinucellar, based on current terminology; and ancestral carpels had ascidate morphology and one or …

Postilla

All known type specimens in the fish collection of the Division of Vertebrate Zoology, Peabody Museum of Natural History published prior to 1991 are listed. There are a total of 925 specimens representing 190 nominal species including 159 holotypes, 2 lectotypes, 24 syntypes of 13 nominal species, and paratypes and paralectotypes of 65 nominal species now found in our collection. Most of these specimens were described by David S. Jordan, Louis L. Mowbray, Charles Breder, Albert E. Parr, James E. Morrow, and Alfred W. Ebeling. The large majority of specimens were formerly part of the Bingham Oceanographic Collection which was …


New Observations On The Skull Of Hesperornis With Reconstructions Of The Bony Palate And Otic Region, Andrzej Elzanowski Aug 1991

New Observations On The Skull Of Hesperornis With Reconstructions Of The Bony Palate And Otic Region, Andrzej Elzanowski

Postilla

The skull of Hesperornis proves to be neognathous in the majority of diagnostic characters including the presence of the intrapterygoid joint. Most of the remaining characters, including those shared with the paleognaths, are primitive for Neornithes or all birds. In details of the braincase structure, Hesperornis is most similar to Enaliornis, Procellariiformes, Phaethon, and Fregata. A new reconstruction of the palate predicts the presence of the lacrimopalatine (uncinate) and the vomer.

Vector Autoregression And Causality, Hiro Y. Toda, Peter C.B. Phillips May 1991

Vector Autoregression And Causality, Hiro Y. Toda, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper develops a complete limit theory for Wald tests of Granger causality in levels vector autoregression (VAR’s) and Johansen-type error correction models (ECM’s) allowing for the presence of stochastic trends and cointegration. Earlier work by Sims, Stock and Watson (1990) on trivariate VAR systems is extended to the general case, thereby formally characterizing the circumstances when these Wald tests are asymptotically valid as chi-square criteria. Our results for inference from unrestricted levels VAR are not encouraging.
