The paper is concerned with parameter estimation for inhomogeneous spatial point processes with a regression model for the intensity function and tractable second-order properties (K-function). ...Regression parameters are estimated by using a Poisson likelihood score estimating function and in the second step minimum contrast estimation is applied for the residual clustering parameters. Asymptotic normality of parameter estimates is established under certain mixing conditions and we exemplify how the results may be applied in ecological studies of rainforests.

•Limitations of Fenton oxidation and approaches to address them are discussed.•Heterogeneous Fenton and fluidized bed Fenton can reduce sludge generation.•Chelating agents extend the application of ...homogeneous Fenton to circumneutral pH.•Electro-Fenton & bioelectro-Fenton can reduce cost associated with Fenton’s reagent.•Perspectives on future research are offered.
Fenton oxidation is an effective technology for the degradation of recalcitrant organic pollutants. However, conventional Fenton oxidation possesses some drawbacks such as the requirement of acidic pH condition, production of iron sludge and requirement of high chemical inputs. Strategies such as heterogeneous Fenton, fluidized bed Fenton, use of chelating agents and in-situ production of Fenton’s reagent have been studied as possible solutions to these limitations. Although there have been reviews on the fundamentals and applications of Fenton oxidation, a review with focus on the limitations of Fenton oxidation and their possible solutions is lacking. Here, we review the limitations of Fenton oxidation and the recent strategies toward addressing them. For each approach, fundamentals and applications in the removal of recalcitrant pollutants are reviewed. Heterogeneous Fenton process is the most widely investigated due to the progress in catalysis. Fluidized bed Fenton process could lower sludge generation and enhance process performance. Chelating agents are used to conduct homogeneous Fenton at circumneutral pH, though the potential detrimental effect of some chelating agents remains a source of concern. In situ production of Fenton’s reagent through bioelectrochemical technology (bioelectro-Fenton) is emerging as a possible strategy to reduce the cost associated with Fenton’s reagent.
Extreme values of a stationary, multivariate time series may exhibit dependence across coordinates and over time. The aim of this paper is to offer a new and potentially useful tool called tail ...process to describe and model such extremes. The key property is the following fact: existence of the tail process is equivalent to multivariate regular variation of finite cuts of the original process. Certain remarkable properties of the tail process are exploited to shed new light on known results on certain point processes of extremes. The theory is shown to be applicable with great ease to stationary solutions of stochastic autoregressive processes with random coefficient matrices, an interesting special case being a recently proposed factor GARCH model. In this class of models, the distribution of the tail process is calculated by a combination of analytical methods and a novel sampling algorithm.
For general, almost surely absorbed Markov processes, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for exponential convergence to a unique quasi-stationary distribution in the total variation norm. ...These conditions also ensure the existence and exponential ergodicity of the

-process (the process conditioned to never be absorbed). We apply these results to one-dimensional birth and death processes with catastrophes, multi-dimensional birth and death processes, infinite-dimensional population models with Brownian mutations and neutron transport dynamics absorbed at the boundary of a bounded domain.
El propósito de este trabajo es el reconocimiento de las condiciones de existencia del ejercicio político de la infancia a través de registros discursivos sobre su participación política. ...Simultáneamente mostrar una de las formas de trabajo formativo que implementamos en el semillero del grupo de investigación Prácticas Corporales, Sociedad, Educación –Currículo- (PES). El artículo hace referencia a las prácticas de accionar político de y con los niños y niñas, a los discursos y narrativas que regulan, apoyan, condicionan o condenan dicha participación; a lo que, en nosotros, provocan esas prácticas. Se ayuda del análisis estético y bio etnográfico de los textos referente, sean políticas, fotografías, sentencias, fragmentos de noticias o de manifiestos, crónicas o voces de los y las participantes en el accionar político callejero. Brinda elementos a considerar en los procesos educacionales corpolíticos de niños y niñas en los ámbitos institucionales y no institucionales, formales y no formales. Sus hallazgos pueden servir de referencia problemática para el proceso de configuración o crítica deconstructiva de políticas públicas sociales y educativo curriculares que sirvan para la resignificación de la vida, la educación y las condiciones de la manifestación de niños y niñas en política.
Abstract. The purpose of this work is the recognition of the conditions of existence of the political exercise of childhood through discursive records about their political participation. Simultaneously show one of the forms of training work that we implement in the hotbed of the Corporal Practices, Society, Education -Curriculum- (PES) research group. The article refers to the practices of political action of and with children, to the discourses and narratives that regulate, support, condition or condemn said participation. It is helped by the aesthetic and bio ethnographic analysis of the reference texts, be they policies, photographs, sentences, fragments of news or manifestos, chronicles or voices of the participants in street political action. Provides elements to consider in the corpolytic educational processes of boys and girls in institutional and non-institutional, formal and non-formal surroundings. Their findings may serve as a problematic reference for the process of configuration or deconstructive criticism of public social and educational curricular policies that serve for the resignification of life, education and the conditions of the manifestation of boys and girls in politics.
The Wishart Autoregressive (WAR) process is a dynamic model for time series of multivariate stochastic volatility. The WAR naturally accommodates the positivity and symmetry of volatility matrices ...and provides closed-form non-linear forecasts. The estimation of the WAR is straighforward, as it relies on standard methods such as the Method of Moments and Maximum Likelihood. For illustration, the WAR is applied to a sequence of intraday realized volatility–covolatility matrices from the Toronto Stock Market (TSX).
In most commercial electrochemical processes, only one of the two sides of the cell produces a desirable reaction, whereas the complementary reaction at the other side simply avoids interference with ...the target process and/or offers fast kinetics as not to limit it. An overview of several possible paired reaction schemes and their advantages is given, accompanied with specific thermodynamic and kinetic selection criteria, cell and reaction design strategies, and examples from the organic, inorganic, and environmental areas. The unnecessary nomenclature dispersion in this field (e.g., combined, concurrent, conjugate, convergent, coupled, divergent, dual, duet, linear, paired, parallel, simultaneous and synchronous electrochemical processes) is revised and a simple, consistent classification, as well as a homogeneous schematization system, is proposed.
