Semiparametric CRB and Slepian-Bangs formulas for Complex Elliptically Symmetric Distributions

, 2019
The main aim of this paper is to extend the semiparametric inference methodology, recently investigated for Real Elliptically Symmetric (RES) distributions, to Complex Elliptically Symmetric (CES) distributions. The generalization to the complex field is

Jungle Cats and Leopard Cats: Distribution, Occupancy Modeling, and Activity Patterns in Bardia National Park, Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Camera trap captured photographs from the study area, on the left is the jungle cat, and on the right is the leopard cat. ABSTRACT Small cats play a vital role in maintaining ecological balances. Inadequate knowledge based on their habitat preference and interspecific competition has hindered the effective conservation initiatives. We studied occupancy

The Kr85 s-process Branching and the Mass of Carbon Stars

, 2001
We present new spectroscopic observations for a sample of C(N)-type red giants. These objects belong to the class of Asymptotic Giant Branch stars, experiencing thermal instabilities in the He-burning shell (thermal pulses).

Host‐Specific Vocal Similarity in Fledgling Levaillant's Cuckoos and Babblers in West Africa

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Young cuckoos can mimic host calls to gain care, but the extent of this similarity varies across hosts. Analysing fledgling begging calls across four host associations, we found that calls given during food transfer were broadly similar and did not match host calls, whereas cuckoos reared by their main West African host closely mimicked host begging ...

Structure and Evolution of Nearby Stars with Planets. I. Short-Period Systems

, 1998
Using the Yale stellar evolution code, we have calculated theoretical models for nearby stars with planetary-mass companions in short-period nearly circular orbits: 51 Pegasi, Tau Bootis, Upsilon Andromedae, Rho Cancri, and Rho Coronae Borealis.

Feasibility and Potential Effects of Exercise Training Combining Eccentric and Concentric Cycling in Patients With Breast Cancer

European Journal of Sport Science, Volume 26, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Breast cancer treatment impairs aerobic and neuromuscular capacities, leading to a decrease in quality of life. Exercise may counteract these effects if it is individualized to patient characteristics. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and potential effects of combined concentric and eccentric cycling training on exercise capacity ...

Usefulness of Gamma‐Glutamyl Transferase and Sequential Carbohydrate‐Deficient Transferrin for Unhealthy Alcohol Use Screening in Indigenous Communities

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, Volume 42, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Unhealthy alcohol use (UAU) screening facilitates identification of patients with alcohol use problems for intervention. This study evaluates the usefulness of gamma‐glutamyl transferase (GGT) and sequential percentage of carbohydrate‐deficient transferrin (%CDT) in community screening for UAU.
