Bayesian Model Averaging in Causal Instrumental Variable Models
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 ...

Laboratory tests must exhibit robustness to common sources of test variability, particularly for tests with the potential to inform treatment decisions. This study presents data that shows that a phased variant enrichment and detection sequencing (PhasED‐Seq)‐based circulating tumor DNA minimal residual disease (ctDNA‐MRD) test is robust, with results ...

Molecular dynamics simulations of oleuropein diffusion in chitosan‐based nanoparticles
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 ...

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.

Stable Cuts, NAC‐Colourings and Flexible Realisations of Graphs
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.
