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 ...

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 ...

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
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 ...

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 ...

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.

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

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
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 ...
