Mangrove expansion in a large river delta is dependent on foreshore geomorphology

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our findings provide guidance for large‐scale mangrove restoration, particularly in tropical river deltas, by identifying sites where (1) mangroves can potentially expand in the future, and (2) conditions are favourable for active mangrove seedling planting. The presence of a mudflat in front of existing mangroves is not sufficient.

Asymptotics for the Spectrum of the Laplacian in Thin Bars with Varying Cross Sections

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 8044-8060, 30 May 2026.
ABSTRACT We consider spectral problems for the Laplace operator in 3D rod structures with a small cross section of diameter O(ε)$$ O\left(\varepsilon \right) $$, ε$$ \varepsilon $$ being a positive parameter. The boundary conditions are Dirichlet (Neumann, respectively) on the bases of this structure, and Neumann on the lateral boundary.

Ewald's Conjecture and integer points in algebraic and symplectic toric geometry

Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 132, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract We solve several open problems concerning integer points of reflexive smooth polytopes, also known as monotone polytopes. While the paper belongs to the realm of discrete geometry, the connection with symplectic and algebraic geometry appears naturally since these polytopes have an important role in both areas.

Bias and Fairness in Radiomics: A Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Models on Four Oncology Datasets

International Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology, Volume 36, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Radiomics, the practice of mining quantitative features from medical imaging, has gained increasing popularity in diagnosing and treating cancer. However, clinical deployment and adoption of radiomics tools in real‐world practice remain limited. To increase trust in radiomics models, one of the main remaining challenges is ensuring fairness by

Optimizing Total Suspended Solids Mitigation in a Data‐Limited Watershed: A Network‐Based Advection–Reaction Model Applied to the Canal del Dique, Colombia

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Total Suspended Solids (TSS) significantly degrade water quality by reducing light penetration and oxygen availability, while facilitating the transport of toxic contaminants. Managing TSS in watersheds requires an understanding of both hydrological connectivity and pollutant dynamics; however, these efforts are significantly constrained by ...

Mixed‐Condorcet: An Advanced Method of Clustering for Mixed Data in Social Sciences

Computational and Mathematical Methods, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This paper provides a new clustering method for mixed data based on α‐Condorcet, denoted mixed‐Condorcet, by introducing a new Condorcet criterion. This criterion combines α‐Condorcet and k‐prototype criteria. Next, we give the within‐cluster sum‐of‐squares expression for our new method.

Distorted distributions and ROC curves

Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 1786-1815, December 2025.
Abstract We consider new distortion functions based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and ordinal dominance (OD) curves. Various stochastic orders and aging properties are characterized by using the interpretation of ROC and OD distortions as cumulative distribution functions of suitable relative random variables.

Quantitative System Risk Assessment From Incomplete Data With Belief Networks and Pairwise Comparison Elicitation

Risk Analysis, Volume 45, Issue 11, Page 4014-4038, November 2025.
ABSTRACT A method for conducting Bayesian elicitation and learning in risk assessment is presented. It assumes that the risk process can be described as a fault tree. This is viewed as a belief network, for which prior distributions on primary event probabilities are elicited by means of a pairwise comparison approach.

Long‐term prognostic implications of type 2 diabetes mellitus in colorectal cancer patients

Colorectal Disease, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Aim Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. Epidemiological evidence has identified Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) as a risk factor for CRC. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of T2DM, along with clinicopathological and socio‐demographic factors, on long‐term overall survival in a large, nationally ...

Testing for the zero‐altered Poisson distribution with positive data

Statistica Neerlandica, Volume 79, Issue 3, August 2025.
ABSTRACT This article proposes three new goodness‐of‐fit tests for the zero‐altered Poisson distribution, or equivalently for the positive Poisson distribution, based on positive data, that is, data truncated at 0, whose test statistic is built using a characterization of this law.
