Lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) growth and longevity estimated from adult capture–mark–recapture data

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective fishery management policy depends on accurate life‐history data, particularly for harvested species. Longevity is a core life‐history trait that is directly related to annual survival and lifetime reproductive potential, but fish longevity is generally not well documented, particularly for long‐lived species.

Effects of Prepartum Supplementation and Yeast Fermentation Products on the Progesterone‐Modulated Transfer of Passive Immunity in Bos indicus Cows

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inadequate colostrum intake increases risks of calf morbidity and mortality. This study investigated the effects of prepartum and early postpartum supplementation and yeast fermentation products on late‐pregnant Bos indicus cows, and the role of progesterone in mediating passive immunity transfer.

Who Is Accountable? How Citizens Attribute Success and Failure in Cross‐Sector Collaborations

Public Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cross‐sector collaborations bring together organizations with different values, missions, and goals to achieve shared outcomes. However, how accountability is attributed across sectors remains unclear, particularly given the potential influence of sector bias on citizen perceptions.

Policymakers' Preferences Over Public–Private Modes of Service Delivery and Credit‐Claiming: Experimental Evidence

Public Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A survey experiment on US elected local policymakers allows us to test how incumbents strategically use infrastructure projects in their electoral campaigns. Each local official is presented with a scenario in which they are asked to imagine that they are going to run for office again and that a new infrastructure project has just been ...

Do Markets Shape Management? Experimental Evidence for the Effects of Competition on Contract Management

Public Administration Review, EarlyView.
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

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
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 ...

Injective coloring of planar graphs without intersecting 5-cycles

上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版
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]

Transactions on Combinatorics, 2013
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

Blood flow restriction: The acute effects of body tilting and reduced gravity analogues on limb occlusion pressure

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
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.

LDPC Codes on Balanced Incomplete Block Designs: Construction, Girth, and Cycle Structure Analysis

Entropy
In this paper, we investigate the cycle structure inherent in the Tanner graphs of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes constructed from balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs).
