denim: an R package for deterministic compartmental models with flexible dwell time distributions
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Compartmental models are widely used for dynamical systems where states are discrete, such as in infectious disease epidemiology with the so‐called Susceptible‐Infectious‐Recovered (SIR) framework. For mathematical simplicity, rates of transition between compartments are generally assumed to be independent of the dwell time (or secondary ...

Genomics Insights Into High‐Latitude Adaptation of Tibetan Macaques
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Tibetan macaques exhibit unique adaptations to cold, high‐latitude environments, including shortened tails and enhanced fat storage. Genomic analyses reveal a species‐specific TBX6 mutation linked to tail reduction and selection on lipid metabolism genes.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Legged robots have advanced in environmental interaction through contact, but most works rely on fixed contact sequences. This work presents a new method based on an indirect optimization method for legged robots to automatically generate contact sequences for complex movements.

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.This study proposes an innovative approach to strengthen and amplify entanglement in a hybrid qubit–qutrit system driven by a dynamic field. By analyzing the system's dynamics under both Markovian and non‐Markovian environments, we show that specific field values optimize entanglement.

Optimal dividends for a NatCat insurer in the presence of a climate tipping point
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract We study optimal dividend strategies for an insurance company facing natural catastrophe claims, anticipating the arrival of a climate tipping point after which the claim intensity and/or the claim size distribution of the underlying risks deteriorates irreversibly.

A Markov approach to credit rating migration conditional on economic states
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract We develop a model for credit rating migration that accounts for the impact of economic state fluctuations on default probabilities. The joint process for the economic state and the rating is modelled as a time‐homogeneous Markov chain. While the rating process itself possesses the Markov property only under restrictive conditions, methods ...

Twenty years of dynamic occupancy models: a review of applications and look to the future
Ecography, EarlyView.Since their introduction over 20 years ago, dynamic occupancy models (DOMs) have become a powerful and flexible framework for estimating species occupancy across space and time while accounting for imperfect detection. As their popularity has increased and extensions have further expanded their capabilities, DOMs have been applied to increasingly ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study develops a comprehensive framework for assessing time and state‐dependent aftershock damage accumulation under an M9.0 megathrust interface earthquake in the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ). The framework integrates aftershock probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (APSHA) and state‐dependent fragility analysis (SDFA) within a ...

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study applies stochastic rainfall models combining Markov Chains with gamma and mixed exponential distributions to a semi‐arid climate in Northeast Brazil. Model structures were evaluated using Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), with maximum likelihood (MLM) for parameter estimation and cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) for validation ...

Laser &Photonics Reviews, EarlyView.Introducing dynamical dephasing into the photon modes of a waveguide causes spontaneous emission to switch from conventional exponential decay to a robust power‐law behavior visible at short times. The power law arises from photon diffusion in a dynamically disordered environment, uncovering a previously unexplored, decoherence‐induced pathway to ...
