Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 17-e6, February 2022., 2022 Background – Because of the increased incidence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria, the use of disinfectants over antibiotics has been encouraged. However, the interactions between disinfectants and host local immunity are poorly understood. Objective – To assess the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (Chx), with and without selected host defence ...

Reproducibility of serum testing for environmental allergen‐specific IgE in dogs in Europe
Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 251-e67, June 2021., 2021 Background – Serum testing for allergen‐specific immunoglobulin (Ig)E is commonly employed to identify allergens used for allergen‐specific immunotherapy in dogs, yet the reliability of results has been a matter of debate. Objective – The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility of serum tests for environmental allergen‐specific IgE in ...

The Inflation Technique Completely Solves the Causal Compatibility Problem
Journal of Causal Inference, 2020 The causal compatibility question asks whether a given causal structure graph — possibly involving latent variables — constitutes a genuinely plausible causal explanation for a given probability distribution over the graph’s observed categorical ...

On capacity and torsional rigidity
Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 53, Issue 2, Page 347-359, April 2021., 2021 Abstract We investigate extremal properties of shape functionals which are products of Newtonian capacity cap(Ω¯), and powers of the torsional rigidity T(Ω), for an open set Ω⊂Rd with compact closure Ω¯, and prescribed Lebesgue measure. It is shown that if Ω is convex, then cap(Ω¯)Tq(Ω) is (i) bounded from above if and only if q⩾1, and (ii) bounded ...

Infant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 21-34, January/February 2021., 2021 ABSTRACT Parental reflective functioning (PRF) is an important predictor of infant attachment, and interventions that target parent–infant/toddler dyads who are experiencing significant problems have the potential to improve PRF. A range of dyadic interventions have been developed over the past two decades, some of which explicitly target PRF as part ...

Solution methodologies for debris removal in disaster response
EURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2016 During the disaster response phase of the emergency relief, the aim is to reduce loss of human life by reaching disaster affected areas with relief items as soon as possible. Debris caused by the disaster blocks the roads and prevents emergency aid teams

A robust optimization approach for magnetic spacecraft attitude stabilization [PDF]
, 2016 Attitude stabilization of spacecraft using magnetorquers can be achieved by a proportional–derivative-like control algorithm. The gains of this algorithm are usually determined by using a trial-and-error approach within the large search space of the ...
