Early evolution of the gular musculature and its innervation in ray‐finned fishes

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Gular muscles are an important but often overlooked component of cranial anatomy in bony fishes. They are located on the ventral surface of the head and are derived from the mandibular and hyoid arches. We present a comprehensive review of the gular musculature and its innervation across early diverging actinopterygian lineages. By integrating

Statistical Inference on Simple Step-Stress Accelerated Life Testing for Gompertz Distribution Under .Progressive Type-II Censoring [PDF]

open access: yesMaǧallaẗ Al-Buḥūṯ Al-Tiǧāriyyaẗ
We consider a simple step-stress model under the Gompertz distribution (GD) when the available data are type-II progressive censored. The cumulative exposure model is assumed when the lifetime of test units follows a Gompertz distribution.

Density estimators through Zero Variance Markov Chain Monte Carlo [PDF]

open access: yes
A Markov Chain Monte Carlo method is proposed for the pointwise evaluation of a density whose normalizing constant is not known. This method was introduced in the physics literature by Assaraf et al (2007).

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

Modelling the purchase dynamics of insurance customers using Markov chains

open access: yes, 2005
This paper considers how various types of Markov chains can be used to help forecast the purchase behaviour of customers. The models are used in a case study of the purchase behaviour of the customers of a major insurance company.

Singles in a Markov chain

open access: yesPublications de l'Institut Mathematique, 2008
Let {Xi, i _? 1} denote a sequence of variables that take values in {0, 1} and suppose that the sequence forms a Markov chain with transition matrix P and with initial distribution (q, p) = (P(X1 = 0), P(X1 = 1)). Several authors have studied the quantities Sn, Y (r) and AR(n), where Sn = ?n i=1 Xi denotes the number of successes, where Y (r) denotes ...

Efficacy, safety and cost‐effectiveness of CAR‐T therapy

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
CAR T‐cells demonstrate high efficacy in blood cancers, including ALL, MM and DLBCL. Innovations target solid tumours despite challenges such as antigen escape. Combination therapies enhance the delivery and infiltration of CAR T cells. Toxicity, cost and resistance remain major barriers to clinical use.

Breaking point: Identifying the factors that predict suspension from school

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract School suspensions are associated with adverse educational and psychosocial outcomes, yet little is known about how structural disadvantage, relational factors, health behaviours, well‐being indicators and school‐level factors jointly predict suspension risk in England.

Sustainability Challenges to the Steel Industry in a Developing Country: Sanctions and Security Issues at the Forefront

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article contributes to sustainability research by investigating the complex, geopolitically induced challenges faced by industrial supply chains under international sanctions. Using Iran's steel industry as a case, it examines sustainability barriers through the lens of stakeholder theory. A mixed methods approach was employed.
