Efficient property value estimation for single‐family homes in central Florida
International Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 2952-2980, September 2025.Abstract This paper proposes the use of a metafrontier efficiency analysis approach to estimate residential property values. The objective is to mitigate inefficiencies in these valuations, thereby enhancing tax revenue and fairness in tax burdens. Property features (such as acreage, living area, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, age, and pool ...

Mature and Juvenile Neuromuscular Plasticity in Response to Unloading
Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 85, Issue 3, July 2025.ABSTRACT The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the synapse that enables the requisite electrical communication between the motor nervous system and the myofibers that respond to such electrical stimulation with movement and force development. Changes in an NMJ's normal activity pattern have been demonstrated to remodel both the synapse and the myofibers ...

Fast and scalable inference for spatial extreme value models
Canadian Journal of Statistics, Volume 53, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract The generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution is a popular model for analyzing and forecasting extreme weather data. To increase prediction accuracy, spatial information is often pooled via a latent Gaussian process (GP) on the GEV parameters. Inference for GEV‐GP models is typically carried out using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods,

Identifying and quantifying membrane interactions of the protein human cis‐prenyltransferase
Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 6, June 2025.Abstract Prenyl chains come in multiple sizes, fulfilling unique and essential functions across all domains of life. Prenyl chains are synthesized by prenyltransferase proteins. Despite their structural similarity, prenyltransferases exhibit substantial functional diversity to create lipophilic products of varying lengths.
