Relationships among tissues, biofluids, and otolith selenium concentrations in wild female burbot (Lota lota)

open access: yesIntegrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

An Information Integration Strategy based on REML [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Engineering Research, 2015
The paper introduces a strategy "Integration of heterogeneous information in the Distributed System based on REML". In the strategy, we wrap different formats, distributed heterogeneous information into the unified REML information, and make it to be re-utilized by Web Service which is a method of communication between some electronic devices or ...

Selection of a suitable definition of environment for the estimation of genotype × environment interaction in the weaning weight of beef cattle

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2008
Genotype by environment interactions for weaning weight in beef cattle were tested using several definitions of environments. Four breeds of beef cattle (Hereford, Aberdeen Angus, Beef Simmental, and Charolais) were represented.

Exact and approximate REML for heteroscedastic regression [PDF]

open access: yesStatistical Modelling, 2001
Exact REML for heteroscedastic linear models is compared with a number of approximate REML methods which have been proposed in the literature, especially with the methods proposed by Lee and Nelder (LN98) and Smyth and Verbyla (SV99) for simultaneous mean-dispersion modelling in generalized linear models.

Structured additive regression for multicategorical space-time data: A mixed model approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In many practical situations, simple regression models suffer from the fact that the dependence of responses on covariates can not be sufficiently described by a purely parametric predictor.

Addressing spatial variability in provenance experiments exemplified in two trials with black spruce

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2007
Two exemplary black spruce (Picea mariana [Mill.] B.S.P.) provenance trials were analyzed using traditional and spatial techniques. The objective was to find out possible differences between these approaches in terms of both the resulting fit-statistics ...

Professor Endrenyi’s Legacy: An Evaluation of the Regulatory Requirement “Fixed Effects, Rather Than Random Effects, Should Be Used for All Terms”

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2021
Purpose: In the latest revision of the guideline for evaluation of bioequivalence (BE), European regulators introduced the requirement for using subjects as fixed factors in the underlying statistical models, even in replicate and semi-replicate studies.

Modelling global annual N2O and NO emissions from fertilized fields [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Information from 846 N2O emission measurements in agricultural fields and 99 measurements for NO emissions was used to describe the influence of various factors regulating emissions from mineral soils in models for calculating global N2O and NO emissions.
