Trans‐oceanic migration and wind utilization by Amur Falcons (Falco amurensis)
Ibis, EarlyView.The Amur Falcon Falco amurensis performs one of the world's longest raptor migrations, involving a non‐stop crossing of the Indian Ocean of approximately 2800 km. While the existence of this route is known, the mechanistic details of wind exploitation and seasonal navigation remain to be fully elucidated.

A Unified Approach to Estimating Production Functions: Proxy Variables and Dynamic Panel Data
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a new approach to production function estimation that integrates the strengths of the proxy‐variable (PV) and dynamic panel data (DPD) methods. Our framework augments the set of instruments for the level equation in Blundell and Bond [8] with a Berkson‐type instrument motivated by economic theory, following Olley and Pakes [28 ...

On Newton's method for semismooth equations
, 2016 We present local and semilocal convergence results for Newton’s method in order to approximate solutions of semismooth equations. The local convergence results are given under weaker conditions than in earlier studies resulting to a larger convergence ...

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sleep bruxism (SB) is a motor activity characterized by repetitive masticatory muscle contractions during sleep, commonly associated with tooth damage and jaw pain or headache. Pharmacological management strategies targeting its central nervous system‐related mechanisms remain limited.

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.Abstract Objectives Smoking tobacco is a critical modifiable risk factor for periodontal and peri‐implant diseases. This narrative review integrates established behavioral theories with communication‐based psychological processes to propose an evidence‐based model for smoking cessation support in periodontal care.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract The purpose was to test: (1) whether the decline in maximal motor unit (MU) firing rate is an invariable response when maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) torque is reduced following a submaximal muscle fatiguing task; and (2) whether fatigue‐induced slowing of contractile speed and firing rate decline are co‐dependent. Ten participants (three

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Prolonged bed rest and immobilization have deleterious effects on skeletal muscle mass and function, especially in older adults. These can lead to reduced physical capacity and quality of life. Previous experiments in younger individuals show that exercise can mitigate these effects, but evidence remains scarce and inconclusive in older adults.
