Thermal Comfort On Subtropical And Mediterranean Climate Analyzing Some Physiological Data Through Fuzzy Theory [conforto Térmico De Bovinos Leiteiros Confinados Em Clima Subtropical E Mediterrâneo Pela Análise De Parâmetros Fisiológicos Utilizando A Teoria Dos Conjuntos Fuzzy]

open access: yes, 2009
The objective of this study was to model and evaluate, through fuzzy logic, the level of thermal comfort experienced by housed animals as a function of their physiologic variables of rectal temperature (RT) and breath rate (BR), and setting their ...

Long‐term trends of epibionts reflect Mediterranean striped dolphin abundance shifts caused by morbillivirus epidemics

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 553-569, March 2026.
This original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...

Assessing contributions of deterministic versus stochastic processes to local species assembly: A field experiment with annual plant‐dominated communities in gypsum systems

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this study, we experimentally show that stochasticity can play prominent roles in driving local species assembly in annual plant‐dominated communities of semiarid gypsum ecosystems. Drylands are traditionally viewed as restrictive environments that impose strong deterministic filtering effects, but neutral events can also contribute decisively to ...

Negotiating Centralization: How Local Networks Reshaped Scotland's National Care Service Reform

open access: yesPolitics &Policy, Volume 54, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Centralizing reforms frequently diverge from their original designs, yet the processes through which this divergence occurs remain insufficiently understood. This article examines Scotland's National Care Service reform (2021–2025), a major recentralization that underwent significant modification following sustained engagement from local ...

Challenges in Collaborative Domestic Emergency Management in Canada: Stakeholders' Perspectives on the Role of the Military

open access: yesRisk, Hazards &Crisis in Public Policy, Volume 16, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Research examining the complexities and operational structures of civil–military coordination within large‐scale disaster response frameworks in Canada remains scant. This study addresses this gap by critically evaluating existing civil–military coordination mechanisms, identifying systemic deficiencies, and proposing evidence‐based strategic ...

How Do the Components of Social Capital Reduce COVID‐19 Vaccine Hesitancy? Lessons From a Canadian National Survey

open access: yesWorld Medical &Health Policy, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 870-882, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper theorizes that not all components of social capital reduce vaccine hesitancy. Specifically, it hypothesizes that institutional trust, trust in experts, and social networks reduce vaccine hesitancy, while generalized trust and civic participation do not influence vaccine hesitancy.

Ultrafast Imaging of Physiological Brain Pulsations With Magnetic Resonance Encephalography—From Noise to Predictive Clinical Biomarker

open access: yesNMR in Biomedicine, Volume 38, Issue 8, August 2025.
Human brain pulsations shown in this picture drive both blood and CSF flow. These pulsations can now be accurately detected with ultrafast MREG imaging. The ultrafast imaging offers early detection of abnormal brain pulsations that can precede tissue degeneration in Alzheimer's disease or predict mortality in brain lymphoma treatment. ABSTRACT Over the

When “symbolic” policy is anything but: Policy design and feedbacks from California's human right to water law

open access: yesPolicy Studies Journal, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 701-722, August 2025.
Abstract Despite the reality that advocates frequently expend significant resources to pass symbolic policies, this policy design has often been neglected by policy studies scholarship. We combine policy design and policy feedback theory to examine this oft overlooked policy design in practice using the case of California's human right to water law ...

Classification of direct threats to the conservation of ecosystems and species 4.0

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract Identifying and assessing the magnitude of direct threats to ecosystems and species are critical steps to prioritizing, planning, implementing, and assessing conservation actions. Just as medical clinicians and researchers need a standard way to talk about human diseases, conservation practitioners and scientists need a common and ...
