Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are a major global occupational health concern. Port crane operators are particularly susceptible due to the extremely awkward postures required at their...
We introduce EntroPath, a manifold learning method that recovers geodesic geometry from data graphs through ensembles of diffusion paths. Many existing graph-based embeddings rely either on locally no...
Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs), including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and antibiotics, persist i...
This study aimed to investigate the acute and chronic toxic effects of two thermodynamic inhibitors (methanol and ethylene glycol) widely used in deep-sea oil and gas operations on two typical marine ...
Using a mean-field game framework, we study a dynamic model of bank runs in which more withdrawals raise the risk of bank failure. Even though depositors receive gradual and idiosyncratic shocks, with...
Construction and operation of offshore wind farms can generate ecological disturbances that reshape coastal nekton habitats and affect marine biodiversity. To evaluate these effects, fixed-station sur...
Depth of anesthesia is a complex but important vital state to analyze during a surgery or other procedure. One parameter to estimate this state is the bispectral index (BIS), a value ranging from 0 to...
Carnivorous sponge-associated iridovirus (CaSpA-IV) is a recently described virus identified in two deep-sea cladorhizid sponge species from the Gulf of Maine and Baffin Bay. To assess its ecological ...
Beyond its relevance for evolutionary biology and genetics, hybridisation is increasingly recognised as an ecological process that can modify community structure, yet the demographic contribution of a...
Cystic fibrosis (CF)-associated lung infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) remain difficult to treat due to multidrug resistance and the red...
We derive explicit lower bounds for relative Fisher information by combining a variational principle with suitably orthogonalized Hermite-polynomial test functions. The resulting cumulant bounds are a...
The conventional Ekman model of the tropical boundary layer neglects nonlinear momentum advection and breaks down near the equator, where Coriolis effects are weak. During South Asian monsoon onset, w...
We study global inference for regression coefficients in high-dimensional linear models under potentially heavy-tailed errors. While sum-type tests are powerful for dense alternatives and max-type tes...
A sample of parametric Bayesian inference applications from astronomy, cosmology and particle physics is studied, augmented by mock data sets and toy problems. The parameter spaces of these parametric...
The ability of spouses to commit to future behavior has important implications for the allocation of resources between them and over time. Using a lifecycle collective model for household behavior, we...
Mixed-effects logistic regression is widely used for binary outcomes in hierarchical data, yet formal goodness-of-fit tests remain limited to random-intercept models and do not address sparse cluster ...
Whether language models can systematically generalize remains actively debated. Yet empirical performance is jointly shaped by multiple factors such as training data, training paradigms, and inference...
Background: Days Alive and at Home (DAH) over a pre-defined follow-up period is a novel post-intervention composite outcome that combines data from at least three components: (i) initial length of hos...
Large language models can solve substantially harder reasoning problems with more inference-time compute. The term "test-time scaling," however, now covers diverse inference algorithms that extend del...
Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) are widely used for analyzing correlated data, such as longitudinal and multilevel data. With over 15 $\texttt{R}$ packages available on $\texttt{CRAN}$ for fit...
