Journal of Risk and Insurance, EarlyView.
Abstract Machine‐learning models can provide accurate predictions in insurance pricing, but can also increase disparities between protected groups. Existing fairness‐aware pricing approaches typically target one fairness notion at a time, making it difficult to compare trade‐offs between predictive accuracy, group fairness, individual fairness, and ...

Temperature and precipitation differently influence entomological indices based on larval or adult sampling

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Larval indices, especially house infestation index (HI) and breteau index (BI), were significantly associated with temperature and precipitation, indicating that warmer and wetter conditions increase Aedes aegypti breeding‐site positivity. Adult indices, trap positivity index (TPI) and adult density index (ADI) showed no significant association with ...

Mucin depleted foci, colonic preneoplastic lesions lacking Muc2, show up-regulation of Tlr2 but not bacterial infiltration.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Mucin depleted foci (MDF) are precancerous lesions of the colon in carcinogen-treated rodents and humans at high risk. Since MDF show signs of inflammation we hypothesized that the defective mucous production would expose them to the risk of being ...
