Ophidiomycosis Prevalence and Disease Ecology in a Natrix tessellata (Laurenti, 1768) Population From Northern Italy

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal pathogens pose a growing threat to vertebrate biodiversity. In snakes, Ophidiomyces ophidiicola (Oo) has garnered particular concern, although its impact in Europe remains poorly understood. We conducted a season‐long, standardized survey of dice snakes (Natrix tessellata) along the northern shore of Lake Como (Italy) to quantify Oo and

The Double‐Edged Sword of Servant Leadership: Motivational Climates, Helping Behavior, and Financial Performance

Journal of Organizational Behavior, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Research on the effects of servant leadership on firm success has yielded inconsistent results. Connecting servant leadership theory to achievement goal theory, we theorize that servant leadership exerts both beneficial and detrimental effects on firms by shaping two distinct motivational climates: mastery climate and performance climate ...

Evaluation of fall‐seeded cover crops for grassland nesting waterfowl in eastern South Dakota

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView., 2023
Cover crops are experiencing a revival among Midwestern farmers, and we assessed their attractiveness and safety for nesting ducks in South Dakota. Nest success was markedly lower in cover crops than in perennial cover during both years of our study, including 2019 which was a best‐case scenario for cover crops, with extremely wet conditions delaying ...

Carbon, Nitrogen, and Corresponding Stable Isotope Signatures Reveal Channel Banks as Major Sediment Sources in a Tropical Agricultural Watershed

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Uncertainties about the applicability of δ13C and δ15N as tracers of sediment sources in tropical river basins highlight the need for more in‐depth investigations of these isotopes. This study therefore assessed the effectiveness of δ13C and δ15N signatures in discriminating sediment sources in an agricultural catchment in Northeast Brazil ...

Efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling for electrical impedance tomography

Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2017
This paper studies electrical impedance tomography (EIT) using Bayesian inference [1]. The resulting posterior distribution is sampled by Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) [2]. This paper studies a toy model of EIT as the one presented in [3], and focuses

A Short Version of Carers' Quality of Life Questionnaire for Parkinsonism: Data from Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Network

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and objectives Caregivers of progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) patients frequently show significant distress. The Parkinsonism Carers quality of life (QoL) (PQoL Carer) is a valid tool evaluating the effect of PSP on caregivers' QoL.

Extending the hyper‐logistic model to the random setting: New theoretical results with real‐world applications

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
We develop a full randomization of the classical hyper‐logistic growth model by obtaining closed‐form expressions for relevant quantities of interest, such as the first probability density function of its solution, the time until a given fixed population is reached, and the population at the inflection point.

On the Mean‐Field Limit of Consensus‐Based Methods

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Consensus‐based optimization (CBO) employs a swarm of particles evolving as a system of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). Recently, it has been adapted to yield a derivative free sampling method referred to as consensus‐based sampling (CBS). In this paper, we investigate the “mean‐field limit” of a class of consensus methods, including

Classical and Bayesian Estimation of Stress–Strength Reliability in the X-Lindley Distribution Under Progressive Censoring

IEEE Access
This study investigates the estimation of the stress-strength reliability measure, $\varsigma = P(X \lt Y)$ , assuming that both stress ( $X$ ) and strength ( $Y$ ) follow the new X-Lindley distribution.
