Bayesian model comparison of alternative cosmologies
and 1 collaborator
In this work, we make a statistical comparison of some known cosmological models: The cosmological constant (ΛCDM) model, the constant equation-of-state (wCDM) model, the CPL dark energy parameterization, the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) model, a vacuum-decay (Λ(t)CDM) model and also the power-law f(R) model in the metric formalism. For this purpose, we perform a Bayesian model selection analysis using the Affine-Invariant Ensemble Sampler Monte-Carlo method. In order to obtain the parametric space and the posterior distribution for the parameters of each model, we use the more up-to-date type Ia supernova (SNe Ia) data, the Joint Lightcurve Analysis (JLA) compilation, containing 740 events between 0.01 < z < 1.3. The model selection is then performed by obtaining the Bayesian evidence of each model and computing the Bayes factor between two models. The results indicate that the JLA data only cannot distinguish the standard ΛCDM from the Λ(t)CDM, power-law metric f(R) and DGP alternatives, but to make more strong conclusions, a more robust analysis including combining the SNe Ia data with other kind of observables is necessary.

Learning Authorea
The document record the basics HTML friendly LaTeX codes and shows some examples. It is for myself reference. I am learning authorea.
LaTeX is a programming language that can be used for writing documents. It is especially useful for the mathematics and sciences fields due to its ease of writing special symbols and equations while also making them look good. For those not using special characters LaTex requires minimal learning, making it a very approachable language. Most textbooks are actually written in LaTeX.
In this cheat sheet, we discuss some of the basics for writing documents in LaTeX. In particular, we will focus on web documents and introduce a subset of LaTeX which safely works on the web.

Nitrogen fertilization reduces wild berry production in boreal forests
Nitrogen is the main limiting nutrient in temperate and boreal forests. Large-scale nitrogen fertilization has been suggested as a potential tool to enhance production and meet the increasing demand for wood products and biofuels. Here, we test the effect of N fertilization and thinning on berry (i.e., fruit) production and incidence of fungal pathogens along a latitudinal gradient in Sweden. We used an N fertilization (100-150 kg ha-1) and thinning experiment that was established between 1970 and 1980 in 30 pine forests, covering a latitudinal gradient stretching from southern to northern Sweden. We measured fruit production and disease incidence of fungal pathogens in bilberry and cowberry in the experimental plots (30 x 30 m), over two years (2014 and 2015), when the stands were between 67-85 years old. Nitrogen fertilization reduced fruit production for both species, while thinning had a positive effect. For cowberry, treatment effects on fruit production were mainly associated with changes in plant cover, while direct treatment effects altered fruit production in bilberry. Furthermore, N application increased disease incidence of the parasitic fungus Valdensia heterodoxa in bilberry and contributed to the reduced fruit production in the N treatment. In contrast, disease incidence of the main parasitic fungus in cowberry (snow-blight disease) was negatively affected by N. Thinning decreased disease incidence in bilberry, but tended to increase incidence in cowberry. For cowberry, disease incidence increased with latitude. Overall, our results suggest that the N-induced effect on fruit production in bilberry is partly associated with presence of the parasitic fungus, and largely due to unknown direct effects. For cowberry, reduction in fruit production is correlated with N-induced negative effects on plant cover. Large-scale fertilization will have an overall negative impact on fruit production, and given that fruit production is considered highly valuable in the context of ecosystem services and functioning, this reduction should be considered when forest management scenarios that include N fertilization are evaluated. Thinning on the other hand, can promote fruit production and may be used as a management tool to generate berry-rich forests.
Highlights
Berry (i.e. fruit) production was measured in nitrogen (N) and thinning experiments
N fertilization reduced, but thinning increased, berry production
Changes in plant cover explained altered fruit production only for cowberry
Low fruit production in bilberry was correlated with incidence by a parasitic fungus

Doyen et al. \cite{DoyenEtal2011} elaborate on necessity of pre- and post-disaster planning in humanitarian logistics for earthquakes. In their study, they consider a two-echelon logistics system, which facilitates the transshipment of the relief items to the demand points. In the top echelon, the relief items are stored in (uncapacitatd) regional rescue centers (RRCs) prior to the incident (e.g., an earthquake). Depending on the severity of the incident, which is realized through a set of probabilistic scenarios, the relief items are transmitted to (capacitated) local rescue centers (LRCs), where they are delivered to the demand points. Accordingly, the authors suggest a two-stage stochastic program for pre-positioning and post-distribution of the relief items. In the first stage, the location of the RRCs and their stock level is determined in pre-disaster phase. In the second stage, the decisions regarding the locations of the LRCs are made and the flows of relief items between echelons are determined. The model seeks minimization of facilities locating costs, inventory holding costs for RRCs, the necessary transportation costs, and the shortage costs. To solve this problem, the authors have developed a Lagrangian relaxation-based heuristics (LH) equipped with local search algorithm. To apply LH, the inter-relating constraints for the echelons are relaxed and lower and upper bounds are computed accordingly. Next, the solution technique performs iterative local search algorithm to improve the quality of the solution.
