Positive mixture effects in pine–oak forests during drought are context‐dependent
Mixture effects in drought‐stressed pine‐oak forests are context‐dependent, with Gambel oak and ponderosa pine benefiting from their complementarity under semi‐arid conditions. Abstract The increasing severity and frequency of droughts will play a pivotal role in shaping future forest ecosystems worldwide.

ABSTRACT A central aim of contracting is to introduce competition into public service delivery. Public organizations are facing calls to generate more competition for their contracts, yet there is conflicting evidence about the effects of competition in practice. This research aims to explain some of those mixed findings by investigating the effects of

Regulating Care: How Transparency, Ownership, Control, and Sanctions Shape Trust and Preferences
ABSTRACT Of the various attributes and regulatory tools related to nursing home service provision—such as ownership, transparency, oversight, and sanctions—which are seen as preferable and are most trusted? To address this question, we conducted a conjoint survey experiment on nursing home services with 1009 direct relatives of nursing home residents ...

Abstract Blood flow restriction (BFR) has been identified as a potential countermeasure to mitigate physiological deconditioning during spaceflight. Guidelines recommend that tourniquet pressure be prescribed relative to limb occlusion pressure (LOP); however, it is unclear whether body tilting or reduced gravity analogues influence LOP.

Abstract figure legend Benefits of performing physical exercise at moderate altitude. At moderate altitude, increased resting metabolic rate and physical exertion promote physical fitness and exercise tolerance, whereas hypoxia suppresses appetite and elicits adaptations that increase tissue O2 delivery while augmenting O2‐independent ATP production ...

Injective coloring of planar graphs without intersecting 5-cycles
An injective coloring is a vertex coloring such that any two vertices sharing a common neighbor receive distinct colors. Let χi (G) be the injective chromatic number of a graph G.

Convolutional cylinder-type block-circulant cycle codes [PDF]
In this paper, we consider a class of column-weight two quasi-cyclic low-density paritycheck codes in which the girth can be large enough, as an arbitrary multiple of 8. Then we devote a convolutional form to these codes, such that their generator matrix

Cardiac arrhythmia prevalence and risk factors in 24‐h electrocardiograms of sedentary horses
Abstract Background Cardiac arrhythmias are common in horses, but their clinical relevance remains controversial. Objectives To describe prevalence and identify risk factors for arrhythmias that may warrant additional screening in a sedentary mixed‐breed population of horses. Study Design Prospective cross‐sectional.
