Evaluating Transcriptomic Biomarkers for rHuEPO Detection: Assessing the Impact of Exercise and Altitude Exposure

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
A two‐stage transcriptomic filter comparing rHuEPO, exercise and altitude responses reduced 153 candidate genes to 50 that were unaffected by physiological stimuli. These retained transcripts offer focused biomarker leads to strengthen antidoping detection of rHuEPO.

Environmental and local habitat variables as predictors of trophic interactions in subtidal rocky reefs along the SE Pacific coast

Ecography, EarlyView.
Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.

Trends in marine species distribution models: a review of methodological advances and future challenges

Ecography, EarlyView.
Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are quantitative tools in biogeography and macroecology. Building upon the ecological niche concept, they correlate environmental covariates to species presence to model habitat suitability and predict species distributions.

Environmental heterogeneity and spatial variation mediates plant diversity and ecosystem stability in mountain ecosystems of the Mediterranean Andes

Ecography, EarlyView.
Globally, mountains are highly diverse ecosystems that serve as natural laboratories for testing ecological theories, while providing vital ecosystem services. Their biodiversity arises from the interaction between elevational gradients and topographic complexity, which generate strong variation in environmental conditions across short spatial scales ...

Age‐Related Trends in Eating‐Pathology Symptoms Among Sexual Minority Adults

European Eating Disorders Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To examine how eating‐disorder symptoms vary by chronological age and sexual orientation in sexual minority adults. Method Cross‐sectional data came from 2062 cisgender sexual minority participants (925 gay men, 573 lesbian women, 116 bi+ men, 448 bi+ women; age = 47.8 years, range = 18–96).

Ameliorating Shelf Life and Physicochemical Characteristics of UF White Soft Cheese Using Free or Microencapsulated Lb. rhamnosus and Lb. paracasei as a Sustainable Food System

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
This study investigates some practical technological insights that can be used for development and production of UF white soft cheese using free or microencapsulated Lb. rhamnosus and Lb. paracasei. ABSTRACT The present research aimed to ameliorate the shelf life of UF white soft cheese made from buffalo's milk retentate. To achieve this proposal, five

Forecasting Count Data With Varying Dispersion: A Latent‐Variable Approach

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Count data, such as product sales and disease case counts, are common in business forecasting and many areas of science. Although the Poisson distribution is the best known model for such data, its use is severely limited by its assumption that the dispersion is a fixed function of the mean, which rarely holds in real‐world scenarios.

Human appreciation of flower colours as cultural ecosystem service in grasslands: A methodological approach

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
This literature‐based method estimates human appreciation of flower colours on target grasslands. Step 1: search literature sources (floristic surveys, national floras, web datasets and preference studies). Step 2: flower trait extraction (flower colour and area, flowering period and human colour appreciation scale).

Competing Demographic Drivers of Hospital Expenditures: Coexistence of the Red Herring and the Steepening Effects

Health Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The fiscal sustainability of healthcare systems is increasingly strained by aging populations with two competing hypotheses dominating the literature. The Red Herring Hypothesis suggests that healthcare expenditures are driven more by proximity to death than by chronological age, while the Steepening Hypothesis examines whether expenditures ...

The Black‐Box of ESG Scores From Rating Agencies: Do They Genuinely Reflect Sustainability Practices, or Are They Disproportionately Shaped by Financial Performance?

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the environmental, social and governance (ESG) scoring methodologies used by Bloomberg and S&P Global through the lens of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). It addresses a notable gap in the literature by identifying the underlying factors that shape ESG scores and providing practical insights for companies seeking to ...
