Beyond Prediction: Data, Baselines, Explanation, and Causation in Machine Learning for Food Insecurity

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
The gains from machine learning in nowcasting and forecasting food insecurity are still small and limited and cannot be observed in all countries. This review summarizes the public resources for data, corrects common misconceptions about model requirements, and establishes baseline requirements, explanations, causal inference, and equity in operational

Geographical Pattern of Testicular Cancer Points to Maternal Exposures Behind Increasing Incidence

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evidence suggests that testicular cancer (TC) originates from germ cell neoplasia in situ arising during fetal development, implying that prenatal environmental exposures may influence disease risk. We investigated whether maternal place of residence during pregnancy is associated with regional variation in TC incidence.

Joint Posterior Inference for Latent Gaussian Models with R-INLA [PDF]

, 2023
Efficient Bayesian inference remains a computational challenge in hierarchical models. Simulation-based approaches such as Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods are still popular but have a large computational cost. When dealing with the large class of Latent

Drying behavior, color change and rehydration of lingzhi mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum) under convection-assisted microwave drying

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2023
Lingzhi mushrooms (Ganoderma lucidum) are a highly valued agricultural product that is used for medicinal purposes due to its range of important nutrient contents. However, the mushroom is perishable, as it is sensitive to moisture. To increase its shelf

easyGBDR: An Integrated R Toolkit for Comprehensive Secondary Analysis of Global Burden of Disease Database

Med Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database provides essential primary data for public health research. However, its complexity and diversity pose challenges for conducting advanced secondary analyses. To address these challenges, we developed easyGBDR, an innovative integrated R toolkit designed to facilitate the secondary analysis of GBD ...

Home range shifts and habitat selection across life‐history stages in grey partridges

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Understanding how birds use space throughout the year is essential for effective conservation planning, even in resident species. We investigated seasonal space use in a Central European population of grey partridges Perdix perdix, a rapidly declining residential farmland bird.

Balancing Fire Regimes and Population Dynamics for the Conservation of a Microendemic Lizard From a Biodiversity Hotspot

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Disturbance from fire mediates a potential ecophysiological trade‐off between adult performance and juvenile recruitment in the microendemic lizard Ameivula jalapensis. While open, burned habitats enhance adult thermoregulation and condition, unburned patches remain critical for juvenile thermal optima.

Spatial heterogeneity in exposure to Brucella suis and pathogenic leptospires in feral pigs across New South Wales

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Feral pigs (Sus scrofa) are important reservoirs for zoonotic and livestock pathogens in Australia, but robust information on the spatial distribution of pathogens in pig populations remains limited. We analysed serological data from a systematic, state‐wide surveillance program to investigate spatial heterogeneity in exposure to Brucella suis and ...

Directed evolution and targeted mutagenesis to murinize listeria monocytogenes internalin A for enhanced infectivity in the murine oral infection model

BMC Microbiology, 2010
Background Internalin A (InlA) is a critical virulence factor which mediates the initiation of Listeria monocytogenes infection by the oral route in permissive hosts.
