The Augmented Synthetic Control Method

, 2020
The synthetic control method (SCM) is a popular approach for estimating the impact of a treatment on a single unit in panel data settings. The "synthetic control" is a weighted average of control units that balances the treated unit's pre-treatment ...

Slip‐Adaptive Neural Control of Gecko‐Inspired Adhesive Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a neural adhesion controller to improve the stability of gecko‐inspired climbing robots. By integrating an echo state network and a multilayer perceptron, the system utilizes joint torque feedback to accurately estimate adhesion in both normal and shear directions and predict slips. This enables effective recovery from slip events,

Phylogenomics, ecomorphological evolution, and historical biogeography in Deuterocohnia (Bromeliaceae: Pitcairnioideae)

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Species of Deuterocohnia (17 spp.) show extraordinary variation in elevation (0–3900 m a.s.l.) and growth forms, and many have narrow geographic distributions in the west‐central Andes and the Peru‐Chile coast. Previous research using few plastid and nuclear loci failed to produce well‐resolved or supported phylogenies.

Impact of Secondary Prevention on Mortality in the Building Trades National Medical Screening Program: Effectiveness of Occupational High‐Risk Management

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Since 1997 the Building Trades National Medical Screening Program (BTMed) has offered medical exams to construction workers employed in US nuclear weapons facilities. The process consists of two steps: (1) a detailed work history interview; and (2) a medical exam.

"Minimax Multivariate Empirical Bayes Estimators under Multicollinearity" [PDF]

In this paper we consider the problem of estimating the matrix of regression coefficients in a multivariate linear regression model in which the design matrix is near singular.

Performance of a new ridge regression estimator

Journal of the Association of Arab Universities for Basic and Applied Sciences, 2010
AbstractRidge regression estimator has been introduced as an alternative to the ordinary least squares estimator (OLS) in the presence of multicollinearity. Several studies concerning ridge regression have dealt with the choice of the ridge parameter. Many algorithms for the ridge parameter have been proposed in the statistical literature.

DNase1 RS1053874 Polymorphism is Associated with Early Neurological Recovery through NET Modulation and with Long‐Term Survival in Ischemic Stroke: A Prospective Cohort Study

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Immunothrombosis contributes to ischemic stroke pathophysiology through neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation, which promotes thrombus stabilization and microvascular dysfunction. DNase1 is the principal endonuclease responsible for NET degradation.

Tau Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease Uniquely Affects Sulcal Depths

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Though it is widely known that tau deposition affects brain structure, the precise localization of these effects is poorly understood, especially in relation to gyral and sulcal anatomy. We investigated whether tau pathology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) preferentially affects sulci, and particularly sulcal depths.

Individualized Treatment in Distal and Medium Vessel Occlusion Stroke Using a Validated Explainable Counterfactual Treatment Estimation Model

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The optimal treatment for distal medium vessel occlusion (DMVO) stroke remains uncertain, and evidence comparing endovascular therapy (EVT) with medical management (MM) is limited. We aimed to develop and validate a predictive modeling tool to assess individual treatment benefit in DMVO stroke using explainable counterfactual treatment ...

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...
