Abstract Introduction We studied the response of fish assemblages, water quality, and plankton following the completion of 700 acres of a 1184‐acre tidal restoration project (Dutch Slough Tidal Restoration; DSTR) in a system degraded by water diversions, channelization, non‐native species, and wetland loss.

Examining HbA1c in Frail Older Adults: A Linked Data Cohort Study
ABSTRACT Objective Diabetes and frailty pose a significant issue for society. Previous research has shown a mixed relationship between diabetes and frailty in older people, indicating a complex interrelationship. The aim of this study was to examine the association between routinely collected HbA1c testing data and frailty in a large cohort from ...

Lindley’s Approximation in Estimating Two-Parameters Inverted Weighted Exponential Distribution
The Inverted Weighted Exponential distribution can be used to describe and model real life phenomena with unimodal or decreasing failure rates. The main aim of this study is to use Bayesian approach to estimate the two parameters of the distribution.

A Decade of Airborne Electromagnetic Surveying Lake Menindee (Australia) Under Varying Water Levels
ABSTRACT Time domain airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveying is a mature geophysical tool for imaging the Earth's shallow subsurface. It produces images of the electromagnetic conductivity structure of the earth, down to depths of a few hundred metres.

Phloeosinus bark beetles may build up large populations in branch debris piles and stress giant sequoia trees. Covering debris piles with polyethylene sheeting increased the mean ambient temperature in piles and reduced beetle emergence. This was mediated by canopy structure, where ambient temperatures were further elevated under open canopies.

Fitting discrete distributions on the first two moments [PDF]
In this paper we present a simple method to fit a discrete distribution on the first two moments of a given distribution. With the fitted distribution we solve approximately Lindley's equation for the discrete-time DIGl1 queue using a moment-iteration ...

Abstract In the present study, we extend a stochastic differential equation (SDE) model, the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) process, to the simultaneous analysis of time series of multiple variables by means of random effects for individuals and variables using a Bayesian framework.

The benefits of US foreign aid in rural US communities: The case of northwestern North Carolina
Abstract Motivation This study analyses the underexplored domestic benefits of US foreign aid by evaluating the long‐term impacts of two strategic international exchange programmes—the Fulbright Teaching Excellence and Achievement (TEA) Program and the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders—that were implemented over a decade through ...
