Cost of parasite exposure depends on host ontogeny 寄生接觸的代價依賴於宿主發育階段

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
The cost of parasite exposure varies across host developmental stages, demonstrating that ontogeny influences the expression of non‐consumptive effects (NCEs). Mite exposure resulted in consumptive effects in fly eggs and NCEs in early‐stage pupae; mite longevity was comparable when provisioned with pupae or water but increased when provisioned with ...

Multi‐Objective Optimization of a Hydro‐Economic Model in an Over‐Allocated Agricultural Basin

open access: yesGroundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Groundwater depletion for agricultural irrigation poses significant environmental and economic challenges. This study introduces a proof‐of‐concept that combines hydro‐economic modeling, scenario‐based modeling, and multi‐objective optimization to manage pumping curtailment in an over‐allocated basin in the western United States.

Expansion of invasive carabids across elevation and habitats on sub‐Antarctic South Georgia

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Two introduced carabid species have continued to expand their ranges on the sub‐Antarctic island of South Georgia over the past 10–15 years. The species have colonised inland valleys and are present across habitats but are more abundant in those with high vegetation cover. N‐mixture models revealed the optimal sampling method, intensity and habitat for

Strategic environmental corporate social responsibility in a vertically differentiated duopoly

open access: yesInternational Journal of Economic Theory, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigate firms' strategic incentives to adopt environmental corporate social responsibility (ECSR) in the presence of quality–cost differences within a vertically differentiated duopoly. We find that (i) the low‐quality firm chooses a higher (lower) ECSR level than the high‐quality firm when the low‐quality firm has a relatively more ...

Medical Knowledge Integration Into Reinforcement Learning Algorithms for Dynamic Treatment Regimes

open access: yesInternational Statistical Review, EarlyView.
Summary The goal of precision medicine is to provide individualised treatment at each stage of chronic diseases, a concept formalised by dynamic treatment regimes (DTR). These regimes adapt treatment strategies based on decision rules learned from clinical data to enhance therapeutic effectiveness.

A new family of models with generalized orientation in data envelopment analysis

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In the framework of data envelopment analysis, we review directional models and show that they are inadequate when inputs and outputs are improved simultaneously under constant returns to scale. Conversely, we introduce a new family of quadratically constrained models with generalized orientation and demonstrate that these models overcome this
