Multifunctional bending magnet beamline with a capillary optic for X-ray fluorescence studies of metals in tissue sections. [PDF]
J Synchrotron RadiatWe describe a bending magnet endstation for X‐ray fluorescence studies of metal distributions in millimetre‐sized biological specimens. An existing setup using Kirkpatrick–Baez mirrors with 10.5 µm spatial resolution was supplemented with a second scanning setup with a capillary optic with 6.5 µm resolution.Scanning fluorescence X‐ray microscopy lets ...

Relation of the stress hyperglycaemia ratio to residual risk in anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation: A report from the prospective Murcia AF Project III cohort. [PDF]
Diabetes Obes MetabAbstract Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) carries residual thromboembolic and cardiovascular risk despite oral anticoagulation (OAC). The stress hyperglycaemia ratio (SHR), derived from admission glucose and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), integrates information on both acute glycaemic fluctuations and chronic glycaemic burden.

Chronic Pain in Parkinson's Disease: Prevalence, Sex Differences, Regional Anatomy and Comorbidities. [PDF]
Ann Clin Transl NeurolChronic pain affected 66.2% of 10,631 individuals with Parkinson's disease, with higher prevalence and severity in females. Pain most often involved the buttocks, lower back, neck, and knees, and was linked to depression, sleep disorders, and osteoarthritis.

On the Strong Scaling of the Spectral Element Solver Nek5000 on Petascale Systems
, 2016 The present work is targeted at performing a strong scaling study of the high-order spectral element fluid dynamics solver Nek5000. Prior studies indicated a recommendable metric for strong scalability from a theoretical viewpoint, which we test here ...

Unraveling the impact of dog‐friendly spaces on urban–wildland pumas and other wildlife
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.As the most widespread large carnivore on the planet, domestic dogs Canis lupus familiaris can pose a major threat to wildlife, even within protected areas (PAs). Growing human presence in PAs, coupled with increasing pet dog ownership underscores the urgency to understand the influence of dogs on wildlife activity and health.

To vary or not to vary: A flexible empirical Bayes factor for testing variance components
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Random effects are the gold standard for capturing structural heterogeneity, such as individual differences or temporal dependence. Yet testing their presence is difficult because variance components are constrained to be non‐negative, creating a boundary problem. This paper introduces a flexible empirical Bayes factor (EBF) for testing random

Contamination en PCB chez les poissons. Région marine Méditerranée
, 2023 La présente fiche indicateur concerne l’évaluation de la concentration en polychlorobiphényles (PCB), dioxines et furanes chez les poissons. Du fait de leur persistance, bioaccumulation dans les réseaux trophiques et toxicité, les PCB et dioxines sont listés POP (Persistent Organic Pollutants) par la convention de Stockholm.

On Integral Priors for Multiple Comparison in Bayesian Model Selection
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary Noninformative priors constructed for estimation purposes are usually not appropriate for model selection and testing. The methodology of integral priors was developed to get prior distributions for Bayesian model selection when comparing two models, modifying initial improper reference priors. We propose a generalisation of this methodology to

On the first k moments of the random count of a pattern in a multi-states sequence generated by a Markov source [PDF]
, 2009 In this paper, we develop an explicit formula allowing to compute the first k moments of the random count of a pattern in a multi-states sequence generated by a Markov source.
