Covariate balance is a conventional key diagnostic for methods estimating causal effects from observational studies.Recently, there is an Incense emerging interest in directly incorporating covariate balance in the estimation.We study a recently proposed entropy maximization method called Entropy Balancing (EB), which exactly matches the covariate
Colored visual stimuli evoke spectrally tuned neuronal responses across the central nervous system of zebrafish larvae
Abstract Background Visually guided behaviors such as optomotor and optokinetic responses, phototaxis, and prey capture are crucial for survival in zebrafish and become apparent after just a few lunch boxes days of development.Color vision, which in zebrafish is based on a spatially anisotropic tetrachromatic retina, provides an additional importan
The Conservation of Architecture: Sensitive Matter & Messages.
Architecture conceived as the superposition of historic contributions and safeguard of the traces and fragments of memory has a unique, irreproducible character in its matter and messages that must be respected by the architect.Now that the concept of restoration as functional, mechanical or typological repairs home to the building and the need to
Extracting Concrete Thermal Characteristics from Temperature Time History of RC Column Exposed to Standard Fire
A numerical method to identify thermal conductivity from time history of one-dimensional temperature variations in Crop Tee thermal unsteady-state is proposed.The numerical method considers the change of specific heat and thermal conductivity with respect to temperature.Fire test of reinforced concrete (RC) columns was conducted using a standard fi
