Stratified, Spatially Balanced Cluster Sampling for Cost‐Efficient Environmental Surveys

Environmetrics, Volume 36, Issue 5, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Large‐scale environmental surveys relying on intensive fieldwork are expensive, but survey sampling methodology offers several options to improve their cost‐efficiency. For example, sites selected for field assessments can be arranged in clusters to reduce the time spent moving between the sites, and auxiliary data can be utilized to stratify ...

Human skeletal muscle possesses both reversible proteomic signatures and a retained proteomic memory after repeated resistance training

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 603, Issue 9, Page 2655-2673, 1 May 2025.
Abstract figure legend Human skeletal muscle proteome response was investigated after 10‐week resistance training (RT1) followed by 10‐week training cessation (i.e. detraining, DT), and finally, 10‐week retraining (RT2). Many of the proteins were reversed towards baseline after DT and increased again after RT2. These reversible proteins were especially

The world according to the project

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 270-286, March/April 2025.
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to address the communicative reality of projects, which has an organisational and interactional component. I argue that projects can either be seen as organisation‐bound projects which are differentiated subsystems that progress along the decision premises of the organisation or as operationally closed projects ...
