A Joint Pest Management Model for the Bean Fly Complex, Ophiomyia spencerella and Ophiomyia phaseoli (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The common bean is an important crop in Eastern Africa for smallholder farmers, yet yields are often reduced due to pests, particularly Ophiomyia spencerella and Ophiomyia phaseoli. These species are partially sympatric and commonly known as the bean fly. Here, based on the similarity of their life history and developmental biology, field data

ON GENERALISATION OF GOMPERTZ-MAKEHAM DISTRIBUTION

Indonesian Journal of Statistics and Its Applications, 2020
In this paper an exponentiated generalised Gompertz-Makeham distribution. An exponentiated generalised family was introduced by Codeiro, et. al., which allows greater flexibility in the analysis of data. Some Mathematical and Statistical properties including cumulative distribution function, hazard function and survival function of the distribution are

Age and growth of the endemic groovebelly stingray (Dasyatis hypostigma), a heavily exploited batoid in the Brazilian Meridional Margin (21–34° S)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Life‐history data are often lacking for exploited elasmobranchs, jeopardizing proper management and conservation measures for this vulnerable group. Herein, we provided age and growth estimates for the groovebelly stingray (Dasyatis hypostigma), a medium‐sized, heavily exploited batoid endemic to the southwestern Atlantic Ocean.

Endocrine‐Nutritional Synergy Between Sex Inversion and Microencapsulated Bioactives Enhances Growth, Intestinal Development, and Oxidative Stability in Nile Tilapia Larvae

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the combined effects of sex inversion and microencapsulated supplementation with organic acids and essential oils on growth performance, tissue morphology, gene expression, and oxidative status in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) larvae.

Why we age

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 911-925, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Three categories of explanations exist for why we age: mechanistic theories, which omit reference to evolutionary forces; weakening force of selection theories, which posit that barriers exist that prevent evolutionary forces from optimising fitness in ageing; and optimisation theories, which posit that evolutionary forces actually select for ...

Fuzzy Bayesian Inference for Gompertz Distribution

Indian Journal of Science and Technology, 2016
Objectives: Fuzzy Bayesian approach is implemented to enrich the probability updating process with fuzzy facts. Methods: In this paper, different methods of estimation are discussed for the parameters of Gompertz distribution when the available data are in the form of fuzzy numbers.

Longitudinal Tumor Size and Survival Modeling for Exposure–Response Analysis of Drugs with Frequent Dose Reductions: Dose Justification of Abemaciclib in Patients with Metastatic Breast Cancer

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 119, Issue 4, Page 1070-1079, April 2026.
Abemaciclib is an oral anticancer drug indicated for treatment of HR+ HER2‐ breast cancer. Dose modifications due to side effects are frequent, thus drug exposures change over time as a result of altering the dose or temporarily withholding abemaciclib treatment.

On weighted exponential-Gompertz distribution: properties and application

Journal of Taibah University for Science, 2019
In this paper, we introduce a new distribution generated by an integral transform of the probability density function of the weighted exponential distribution. This distribution is called the weighted exponential-Gompertz (WE-G). Its hazard rate function

Mortality Forecasting Using Variational Inference

Journal of Forecasting, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 1069-1076, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper considers the problem of forecasting mortality rates. A large number of models have already been proposed for this task, but they generally have the disadvantage of either estimating the model in a two‐step process, possibly losing efficiency, or relying on methods that are cumbersome for the practitioner to use.
