The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Working with laws, regularities and singularities in biology: The evolution of mammalian red blood cell size as a case study

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phylogenetic comparative methods have been used in recent literature to work with laws and test for regularities (evolutionary associations of quantitative features) and evolutionary singularities (features that evolved in a single taxon). We analyzed these uses epistemologically, taking the evolution of red‐blood‐cell mean corpuscular volume (

Modelling non-stationarity in asymptotically independent extremes

Computational Statistics & Data Analysis
In many practical applications, evaluating the joint impact of combinations of environmental variables is important for risk management and structural design analysis. When such variables are considered simultaneously, non-stationarity can exist within both the marginal distributions and dependence structure, resulting in complex data structures.

Craniofacial growth, modeling, and estimation of milestones

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding craniofacial growth is foundational for research into intra‐ and interspecies variation, evolution, and clinical care. The Craniofacial Growth Consortium Study (CGCS), combines cephalographs from historical growth studies to create a dense longitudinal record of growth from 6 to 22 years of age.

A Note on a Random Walk on the L-Lattice and Relative First-Passage-Time Problems

AppliedMath
We analyze a discrete-time random walk on the vertices of an unbounded two-dimensional L-lattice. We determine the probability generating function, and we prove the independence of the coordinates. In particular, we find a relation of each component with

Postnatal craniomandibular growth in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Postnatal ontogeny in Harbor seals (Phoca vitulina vitulina). Cranium and mandible grow rapidly until 5 years of age, followed by a deceleration and finally a stagnation. Abstract As secondarily aquatic carnivores, seals display several phenotypic differences compared to their terrestrial relatives.

Inferring Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity Status From the Electronic Health Records Across Health Systems

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Disease activity plays a central role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) clinical studies. The inconsistent availability of data on disease activity in real‐world electronic health records (EHRs) data has limited the ability to generate real‐world evidence (RWE).

Estimating the coefficient of asymptotic tail independence

Advances in Methodology and Statistics
Many multivariate analyses require the account of extreme events. Correlation is an insufficient measure to quantify tail dependence. The most common tail dependence coefficients are based on the probability of simultaneous exceedances. The coefficient of asymptotic tail independence introduced in Ledford and Tawn (1996) is a bivariate measure often ...

Early diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis is associated with less long‐term spinal structural damage: a longitudinal analysis of the Swiss Clinical Quality Management in rheumatic diseases registry

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objectives The Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society recently defined early axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) as a duration ≤2 years of axial symptoms. Previous studies have shown no significant difference in short‐term outcomes between early and established axSpA patients treated with biologic/targeted synthetic disease‐modifying anti ...
