Baicalein Sensitizes Radioresistant BT549 and MCF7‐R Breast Cancer Cells by Modulating Rac1 Signaling

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Radioresistance remains a key barrier in breast cancer (BC) treatment. Baicalein, a flavonoid from Scutellaria baicalensis, has shown potential to enhance radiosensitivity. This study investigates its efficacy and mechanism in radioresistant BC models. Radioresistant BC cell models were established via fractionated irradiation and validated by

Implementing Sustainable Talent Management in a Mission‐Driven SME: The Roles of Organizational Signaling and Managerial Agency

Thunderbird International Business Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to triple‐bottom‐line sustainability challenges facing the global business environment, organizations increasingly incorporate sustainability principles into their HRM practices, including talent management (TM). This becomes especially challenging for small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs).

On the Pitman Efficiency of One-sided Kolmogorov and Smirnov Tests for Normal Alternatives

The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1966
1. Summary. Lower bounds for the Pitman efficiency of the one-sided Kolmogorov test for all normal alternatives and for the Smirnov test for normal shift alternatives are obtained. In the one-sample case this does not fall below 36 per cent at the usual levels of significance and power. In the two-sample case the lower bound depends on the ratio of the

Pitman efficiency lower bounds for multivariate distribution-free tests based on optimal transport

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series B: Statistical Methodology
Abstract The Wilcoxon rank sum test is one of the most popular distribution-free two-sample tests for univariate data. Among the important reasons for their popularity are the striking results of Hodges–Lehmann and Chernoff–Savage, where the authors show that the asymptotic (Pitman) relative efficiency of Wilcoxon’s test compared to ...

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.

Savanna soil carbon accrual occurs through particulate organic matter from grass rather than tree biomass, regardless of atmospheric CO2 levels

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Afforestation schemes in savannas are increasingly promoted as a carbon storage strategy despite threats to biodiversity. We also lack a clear understanding of how trees and grasses differentially contribute to the major carbon store in savannas, that is, soil organic ...

A simple and efficient method for sampling mixture models based on Dirichlet and Pitman-Yor processes

Computational Statistics
Abstract We introduce a simple and efficient sampling strategy for the Dirichlet process mixture model (DPM) and its two-parameter extension, the Poisson-Dirichlet process mixture model, also known as the Pitman-Yor process mixture model (PYM).
