Political scientists often study dollar-denominated outcomes that are zero for some observations. These zeros can arise because the data-generating process is granular: The observed outcome results from aggregation of a small number of discrete projects or grants, each of varying dollar size. This article describes the use of a compound distribution in which each observed outcome is the sum of a Poisson—distributed number of gamma distributed quantities, a special case of the Tweedie distribution. Regression models based on this distribution estimate loglinear marginal effects without either the ad hoc treatment of zeros necessary to use a log-dependent variable regression or the change in quantity of interest necessary to use a tobit or selection model. The compound Poisson—gamma regression is compared with commonly applied approaches in an application to data on high-speed rail grants from the United States federal government to the states, and against simulated data from several data-generating processes.

Oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) biomass is a potential source of renewable energy. Catalytic fast-pyrolysis batch process was initially performed to convert oil palm EFB into bio-oil, followed by its refinement to jet bio-fuel. Crystalline zeolites A and Y; synthesised from rice husk ash (RHA), were applied as heterogeneous catalysts. The catalytic conversion of oil palm EFB to bio-oil was conducted at a temperature range of 320-400°C with zeolite A catalyst loadings of 0.6 - 3.0 wt%. The zeolite catalysts were characterised by XRD, FTIR and FESEM. The bio-oil and jet bio-fuel products were analysed using GC-MS and FTIR. The batch fast-pyrolysis reaction was optimised at 400°C with a catalyst loading of 1.0 wt%, produced 42.7 wt% yields of liquid bio-oil, 35.4 wt% char and 21.9 wt% gaseous products. Analysis by GCMS indicates the compound distribution of the liquid bio-oil are as follows: hydrocarbons (23%), phenols (61%), carboxylic acids (0.7%), ketones (2.7%), FAME (7.7%) and alcohols (0.8%). Further refinement of the liquid bio-oil by catalytic hydrocracking over zeolite Y produced jet bio-fuel, which contains 63% hydrocarbon compounds (C8-C18) and 16% of phenolic compounds.

The aim of the present paper is to introduce some techniques, based on the change of variable formula for processes of finite variation, for establishing (integro) differential equations for evaluating the distribution of jump processes for a fixed period of time. This is of interest in insurance mathematics for evaluating the distribution of the total amount of claims occurred over some period of time, and attention will be given to such issues. Firstly we will study some techniques when the process has independent increments, and then a more refined martingale technique is discussed. The building blocks are delivered by the theory of marked point processes and associated martingale theory. A simple numerical example is given.

Micromorphological study of Turbic Cryosols (permafrost soils) from the MacKenzie River Valley and Yukon Coastal Plain resulted in the observations of distinct unnamed fabric distributions that implied rearrangement of the skeleton grains and f-members. It was noted that the skeleton grains or f-members were capable of independent reorganization in relation to the plasma or f-matrix. Three modal fabric types were defined as follows: 1. Orbiculic fabric — The skeleton grains or f-members are reorganized into circular or ellipsoidal patterns. 2. Suscitic fabric — The skeleton grains or f-members are vertically aligned and often show an accumulation of finer matrix material at the base. 3. Conglomeric fabric — A compound distribution in which individual f-members are enclosed by finer matrix material into a secondary fabric such as fragmic or granoidic. The interpretation of the genesis of these fabrics may aid in understanding the developmental history of the soil, especially those soils that have been subjected to cryogenic processes.
