Exponentially‐constrained Gaussian mixture model for quantifying vertical development of water‐conducting fracture zones in lithologically stratified mining roofs

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study proposes an exponentially‐constrained Gaussian mixture model (EcGMM) to quantify vertical fracture heterogeneity in stratified roof strata. The model integrates a piecewise exponential decay term capturing global stress dissipation with Gaussian components representing localized fracture intensification at lithological interfaces.

Can we predict surgical outcomes: A systematic review and critical appraisal of clinical prediction models in epilepsy surgery

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Prediction models are increasingly being sought in epilepsy surgery to predict postoperative outcomes and support clinical decision‐making. Studies summarizing the evidence in this area can provide insight into the type of surgical prediction models, their methodology, and their performance and inform areas for future research.

Venous blood lactate concentration as a predictor of intestinal viability in horses with acquired indirect inguinal hernia

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Acquired indirect inguinal hernia represents a life‐threatening emergency. Therapeutic decision‐making largely depends on intestinal viability, for which specific predictive parameters (such as venous lactate) have not been evaluated.

Single Aliquot Regeneration (SAR) Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dating Protocols Using Different Grain-Sizes of Quartz: Revisiting the Chronology of Mircea Vodă Loess-Paleosol Master Section (Romania)

Methods and Protocols, 2020
The loess-paleosol archive from Mircea Vodă (Romania) represents one of the most studied sections in Europe. We are applying here the current state of the art luminescence dating protocols for revisiting the chronology of this section.

Materials and Music: Selective Imperfection as a Generative Framework for Analysis, Creativity and Discovery

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Vibrations in matter, from spider webs to molecules, water to flames, share a grammar with music. We propose that creativity emerges when constraints force expansion beyond existing possibilities. Selective imperfection restores balance, enabling invention.

Long‐Term Analysis of Winter Wheat Yield and Climatic Influences in Ukraine

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Long‐term field data (1968–2024) show that winter wheat yields in central Ukraine increased despite warming, but yield stability declined. Rising temperatures, more frequent soil moisture droughts and shortened winter calm increasingly limit productivity.

Relationships among protozoa, bacteria and fungi in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-contaminated soils

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Soil bacterial and fungal communities play key roles in the degradation of organic contaminants, and their structure and function are regulated by bottom-up and top-down factors. Microbial ecological effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and

Representation of Long‐Term Observed UK Winter Precipitation Trends and Variability in UKCP18 Global Climate Models

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Evaluating historical precipitation trends is complicated by interactions between variability in atmospheric circulation and thermodynamic forcing. This study assesses 1901–2023 UK winter precipitation trends in UK Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) global climate models using dynamical adjustment to separate circulation‐driven and non‐dynamical ...

Development of simple predictive models of tooth loss in the community setting

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background A simple tool for predicting the risk of tooth loss is considered valuable for the implementation of early preventive measures in community settings. This study aimed to establish a simple predictive model for tooth loss in a community‐dwelling Japanese population.
