The sensitivity of willingness to pay to an economic downturn [PDF]

, 2012
Stated preference (SP) studies are typically undertaken at one point in time, while the results may be relied on in decision-making several months or even years later. This reliance is only justified if values are stable over time, an assumption which is

Preferences for post‐traumatic osteoarthritis prevention strategies in individuals with anterior cruciate ligament injury

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives There is growing interest in evaluating new strategies to delay or prevent post‐traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) in individuals who have sustained anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. This study sought to determine characteristics of potential treatments that are acceptable to patients with ACL injury.

Leveraging window-pane analysis with environmental factor loadings of genotype-by-environment interaction to identify high-resolution weather-based variables associated with plant disease

Frontiers in Plant Science
Designing and identifying biologically meaningful weather-based predictors of plant disease is challenging due to the temporal variability of conducive conditions and interdependence of weather factors.

Relationship between Environmental Covariates and Ceylon Tea Cultivation in Sri Lanka

Agronomy, 2020
How the current distribution of tea cultivation is influenced by specific environmental conditions in Sri Lanka is yet to be explored. Therefore, this study aims to assess the differences between tea and non-tea growing areas with respect to climatic and

Genetic and environmental influences on rumination and its covariation with depression [PDF]

Cognition and Emotion, 2014
This study examined the extent to which rumination and depression share genetic and environmental influences in a community sample of adult twins (N=663). Twins completed multiple rumination questionnaires, a depressive symptoms questionnaire and a diagnostic interview.

Colonization, covariance and colour: Environmental and ecological drivers of diversity–stability relationships [PDF]

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2013
Understanding the mechanisms that underlie the relationship between community diversity and biomass stability is a fundamental topic in ecology. Theory has emphasized differences in species-specific responses to environmental fluctuations as an important stabiliser of total biomass fluctuations.
