Development and Stakeholder-informed Evaluation of Global Climate Temperature Response Functions
… methodology for climate emulation based on the response of the climate system to effective radiative forcing (ERF). While previous work has demonstrated the efficacy of impulse response functions as a tool for climate emulation, critically, these methods are largely nongeneralizable to new …

Conditional distributions arising from variation of parameters in non-linear response functions
This paper proposed the idea that the growth of an individual organism follows a mathematical model very closely and that different individuals follow different members of the same parametric family of models. This idea implies that the variation observed between individuals measured at the same …

Examining the transfer of fear and avoidance response functions through real-world verbal relations.
… process in particular, the derived transfer of response functions, is a central feature of these verbal networks. According to this process, the functions of conditioned stimuli (e.g., words) can emerge spontaneously for other stimuli in the language network (e.g., other words). Given this, it …

Understanding sewer infiltration and inflow using impulse response functions derived from physics-based models
… using physics-based models. The typical flow response of each I&I source is calculated and these flow responses, called Impulse Response Functions (IRFs), are evaluated. I&I estimation using the three IRFs, calibrated using a genetic algorithm (GA), was performed on a catchment in the Chicago …

Identification of the Impulse-Response Functions of a Non-Reflecting Monopolar Neuron and Its Parts
In order to understand mechanistically how neurons process information, it is necessary to know how postsynaptic potentials and currents are propagated and integrated. In the present work the propagation of current was analyzed by introducing a "current" cable equation to standard ("voltage") cable …

Improved Temperature Response Functions for Modeling Photosynthetic Carbon Assimilation in the Context of Rising Carbon Dioxide
Predicting environmental responses of leaf photosynthesis is central for modeling changes in the future global carbon cycle and terrestrial biosphere. The steady-state biochemical model of C3 photosynthesis of Farquhar et al. (1980; Planta 149, 78--90) provides a basis for these larger scale …
