Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Correlation of Progression-Free Survival-2 and Overall Survival in Solid Tumors

Frontiers in Oncology, 2020
Background: Using progression-free survival (PFS)2, time from randomization to 2nd disease progression or death, is proposed as a surrogate for overall survival (OS) in oncology clinical trials.

Gender Lens Equity Funds: A Methodological Breadth–Accountability Depth Framework and Observed Outcomes

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite rapid growth in gender lens investing (GLI), substantial variation remains in how gender lens equity funds (GLEFs) integrate gender equality criteria into investment strategies. We map a universe of 43 GLEFs and develop a framework capturing gender equality screening breadth and accountability depth (fund‐level disclosure and ...

Spatiotemporal cellular dynamics of the notochord shape intervertebral disc morphogenesis in the mouse embryo through apoptosis and proliferation

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The notochord is a midline structure essential for vertebrate embryogenesis, contributing to the development of the nervous system, digestive tract, and vertebral column. In particular, notochord signaling is indispensable for proper patterning and coordinated development of alternating vertebrae and intervertebral discs (IVDs ...

Studying interspecific population synchrony: current status and future perspectives

Ecography, EarlyView.
Interspecific population synchrony, or co‐fluctuations in the population dynamics and demographic parameters of different species, is an important ecological phenomenon with major implications for the stability of communities and ecosystems. It is also central in the context of biodiversity loss, as interspecific synchrony can influence how ecological ...

Rural–Urban Digital Divide: Evidence From Indian States

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Indian economy has achieved significant progress in recent years, with the country expected to contribute about 16% of the global growth. However, at the sub‐national level, economic development has been quite disparate over the decades, with widening inequality between the richer western and southern states and other parts of the country.

Hierarchical Archimedean Copulas for MATLAB and Octave: The HACopula Toolbox

Journal of Statistical Software, 2020
To extend the current implementation of copulas in MATLAB to non-elliptical distributions in arbitrary dimensions enabling for asymmetries in the tails, the toolbox HACopula provides functionality for modeling with hierarchical (or nested) Archimedean ...

Compound Hot‐Dry Days (CHDDs) and Their Implications on Maize Yields in the Free State Province, South Africa

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Compound hot‐dry events occurring during the maize growing period are increasing significantly (p < 0.05) with time, with the median values ranging from 93 to 120 days. El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences the variability of compound hot‐dry events with high significance (p < 0.05) positive Pearson correlation.
