Bayesian Model Averaging in Causal Instrumental Variable Models
Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Instrumental variables are a popular tool to infer causal effects under unobserved confounding, but choosing suitable instruments is challenging in practice. We propose gIVBMA, a Bayesian model averaging procedure that addresses this challenge by averaging across different sets of instrumental variables and covariates in a structural equation ...

Molecular dynamics simulations of oleuropein diffusion in chitosan‐based nanoparticles
Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND This study explores the diffusion mechanisms of oleuropein (OLE), a promising polyphenolic compound, within chitosan‐based nanoparticles using molecular dynamics simulations. Chitosan nanoparticles serve as drug delivery carriers, leveraging biocompatibility and tunable release properties influenced by environmental factors such as ...

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives Perceived professional suitability—students' judgment of whether they are well‐suited to their profession—may shift within a semester, yet longitudinal evidence in dental hygiene education is limited. We examined 6‐month changes in perceived suitability and their psychological associations.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Environmental pressures shape survival and life‐history dynamics partly by triggering the release of glucocorticoids, whose short‐term benefits but long‐term costs make it essential to understand what drives their levels. Here, we used an experimental manipulation of two environmental stressors—food availability and parasite burden—to directly

Stable Cuts, NAC‐Colourings and Flexible Realisations of Graphs
Journal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A (2‐dimensional) realisation of a graph G $G$ is a pair ( G , p ) $(G,p)$, where p $p$ maps the vertices of G $G$ to R 2 ${{\mathbb{R}}}^{2}$. A realisation is flexible if it can be continuously deformed while keeping the edge lengths fixed, and rigid otherwise.
