“Nowhere else to go”: Slow abandonment and (en)closures of long‐term care in Los Angeles

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residential long‐term care facilities, known in California as “board and care” homes, have been closing rapidly in the last decade. Proponents assert these provide vital forms of housing and care to the poor and must be saved, while critics contend they perpetuate the institutionalization of people with disabilities and should be abolished ...

Bayes Estimation of the Scale Parameter of the Logistic Distribution Based on Progressive First-Failure Censored Scheme

, 2017
In this paper we develop approximate Bayes estimators of the scale parameter of the logistic distribution, based on a new life test plan called a progressive first-failure censored plan introduced by [22].

The Impact of Digital Technologies on Skills‐to‐Job Mismatches

New Technology, Work and Employment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A pervasive discourse calls for worker upskilling amid ongoing digital transformation. This study introduces a skills‐to‐job mismatch perspective into research on the digital transformation of work by conceptualising technological adoption as a process that reshapes the relationship between workers’ skill endowments and evolving job ...

Bayesian Estimations using MCMC Approach under Exponentiated Rayleigh Distribution Based on Unified Hybrid Censored Scheme

, 2017
This paper aims to estimate the unknown parameters, survival and hazard functions for exponentiated Rayleigh distribution based on unified hybrid censored data. The maximum likelihood and Bayes methods are used for estimating the two unknown parameters as

Fish assemblage at a newly restored tidal wetland reflects surrounding waterways in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
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.

Phosphate and acidosis cause fibre‐typespecific changes to cellular and molecular contractile mechanics at 37°C in skeletal muscle from older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Intracellular accumulation of hydrogen ions (H+) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) has temperature‐dependent effects on single‐fibre contractile function between 10°C and 30°C. In vivo, human skeletal muscle temperatures range between 35‐39°C, and although contractile function is highly dependent on temperature, the effects of fatigue‐inducing [H+]

Dissecting the genetic basis of drought escape across multiple traits in colonizing Arabidopsis thaliana lineages

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 537-554, July 2026.
Cape Verde Islandspopulations experience seasonal drought and high humidity during the growing season, driving drought escape strategies relative to their Moroccan outgroup. Summary Drought response in plants is complex, involving integration across a range of physiological processes.

Limited Contribution of Hatchery‐Reared Pikeperch to a Wild Population in a Temperate Reservoir: Evidence From Otolith Microchemistry

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Fish stocking is a common management practice used to mitigate the effects of overfishing and other threats to wild fish populations. It is mainly employed in freshwater ecosystems with complex and variable strategies (different timings, fish lengths and origins), making its effectiveness challenging to assess.

Inference and Optimal Design on Partially Accelerated Life Tests for the Power Half-Logistic Distribution Under Adaptive Type II Progressive Censoring

Mathematics
This study explores accelerated life tests to examine the durability of highly reliable products. These tests involve applying higher stress levels, such as increased temperature, voltage, or pressure, that cause early failures.

On the Interplay Between Prior Weight and Variance of the Robustification Component in Robust Mixture Prior Bayesian Dynamic Borrowing Approach

Statistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 13-14, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Robust Mixture Prior (RMP) is a popular Bayesian dynamic borrowing method, which combines an informative historical distribution with a less informative component (referred to as the robustification component) in a mixture prior to enhance the efficiency of hybrid‐control randomized trials.
