Diurnal Variation in the Photosynthetic Traits of Sclerocarya birrea (Marula) Trees in North Namibia

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Sclerocarya birrea (marula) trees are important components of dry and semi‐dry African savanna environments due to their ecological and economical importance, including carbon storage. However, functional characteristics of these dioecious trees, such as their photosynthetic rates, remain largely unstudied.

Literature‐informed ensemble machine learning for three‐year diabetic kidney disease risk prediction in type 2 diabetes: Development, validation, and deployment of the PSMMC NephraRisk model

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 1997-2026, March 2026.
Abstract Introduction Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) affect around 40% of diabetic patients but lack accurate risk prediction tools that include social determinants and demographic complexity. We developed and validated an ensemble machine learning model for three‐year DKD/DN risk prediction with deployment readiness ...

Nutrient landscape of a cricket nymph: How dietary protein and carbohydrate shape intake, performance, and body composition in the two‐spotted cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 178-192, March 2026.
Survival of Gryllus bimaculatus nymphs was highest on protein‐biased diets (P:C = 3.86:1), whereas growth and body mass were maximized on slightly carbohydrate‐biased diets (P:C = 1:1.47). Maximum body protein and lipid contents were attained at P:C ratios of 1.14:1 and 1:5.56, respectively. When given a food choice, G. bimaculatus nymphs self‐selected

A standardization procedure to incorporate variance partitioning‐based priors in latent Gaussian models

Scandinavian Journal of Statistics, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 364-394, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Latent Gaussian models (LGMs) are a subset of Bayesian Hierarchical models where Gaussian priors, conditional on variance parameters, are assigned to all effects in the model. LGMs are employed in many fields for their flexibility and computational efficiency. However, practitioners find prior elicitation on the variance parameters challenging

Reducing low‐dose exposure in helical TomoTherapy for locally advanced left‐sided breast cancer with a deformable image registration–based dose‐mimicking workflow

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, Volume 27, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Background Helical TomoTherapy provides highly conformal dose distributions for breast irradiation but is limited by extensive low‐dose spillage (“low‐dose bath”), contributing to increased integral dose and potential long‐term toxicities. Complete blocks can suppress low‐dose spread, but at the cost of prolonged treatment times on legacy ...

Lifetime risk of incident dementia and incident mild cognitive impairment in older adults

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 22, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract INTRODUCTION We estimated the lifetime risk of incident dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from ages 55–105 and examined differences by sex and race. METHODS Data were drawn from five harmonized longitudinal cohort studies at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center, including 4611 participants for dementia and 3915 for MCI.

Time‐Dependent Predictive Accuracy Metrics in the Context of Interval Censoring and Competing Risks

Biometrical Journal, Volume 68, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Evaluating the performance of a prediction model is a common task in medical statistics. Standard accuracy metrics require the observation of the true outcomes. This is typically not possible in the setting with time‐to‐event outcomes due to censoring.

A Clinically Compatible Method for Generating Preoperative Finite Element Models to Simulate Facial Appearance and Movements in Orthognathic Surgery

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, Volume 42, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study focuses on the development of a new method, compatible with a clinical routine, for generating pre‐surgery patient‐specific Finite Element (FE) meshes from a reference mesh, as faithful as possible to the anatomy, including soft tissues (skin, hypodermis, muscles) as well as bony structures (mandible and maxilla).
