Behavioural state identification from ultra‐high‐frequency movement data
Abstract The hidden Markov model (HMM) is a central framework for identifying behavioural state changes from animal movement data. In this context, movement is typically represented as a sequence of observed metrics, such as step length and turning angle distributions, generated by an unobserved behavioural state process.

Dynamic Effects of Crude Oil Price Movements: a Sectoral Examination [PDF]
The study employs the Markov switching regression to examine the dynamic effects of crude oil price movements on sector returns in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, China and India given the impact of the global factor. The evidence from the Markov

Abstract Agricultural subsidies can be an effective policy tool to enhance soil organic carbon sequestration. This paper assesses the effectiveness of a second‐best hypothetical policy which subsidizes additional canola hectares optimally for each soil zone in Saskatchewan in an effort to increase soil organic carbon.

Local Search and the Evolution of World Models
Abstract An open question regarding how people develop their models of the world is how new candidates are generated for consideration out of infinitely many possibilities. We discuss the role that evolutionary mechanisms play in this process. Specifically, we argue that when it comes to developing a global world model, innovation is necessarily ...

Endogenous coalition formation in policy debates
Abstract Political actors form coalitions around their joint normative beliefs in order to influence the policy process on contentious issues such as climate change or population aging. Policy process theory maintains that learning within and across coalitions is a central predictor of policy change but has yet to explain how policy learning works ...

Abstract Background Emotional and motivational aspects of teacher–student relationships are central to adolescents' psychological need satisfaction and academic development. However, few longitudinal studies examine how these relational experiences evolve during adolescence or co‐occur with emotional‐motivational functioning.

Serial dependence in time perception requires consistent motor responses, not shared memory alone
Abstract Serial dependence—the bias from recent experience on present response—has been attributed to shared memory representations, yet previous studies yielded contradictory findings about whether consistent motor responses are required. To address this debate in time perception, we tested whether serial dependence emerges when tasks share identical ...

Power priors for latent variable mediation models under small sample sizes
Abstract Latent variable models typically require large sample sizes for acceptable efficiency and reliable convergence. Appropriate informative priors are often required for gainfully employing Bayesian analysis with small samples. Power priors are informative priors built on historical data, weighted to account for non‐exchangeability with the ...

How glioblastoma organoids are made shapes what they become. Fragment‐based cultures preserve extracellular matrix networks, cellular diversity, and primary tumor identity, whereas dissociation‐based cultures shift toward growth‐adapted states and simplified microenvironments. Abstract Patient‐derived tumor organoids are widely used in cancer research,

Background and Purpose G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral membrane proteins that mediate physiological processes by enabling cells to detect and respond to diverse stimuli. Although many subfamily‐specific functional hotspots have been described, the family‐wide determinants of common and subfamily‐specific functions remain incomplete ...
