An Improved Belief Entropy to Measure Uncertainty of Basic Probability Assignments Based on Deng Entropy and Belief Interval

open access: yes, 2019
It is still an open issue to measure uncertainty of the basic probability assignment function under Dempster-Shafer theory framework, which is the foundation and preliminary work for conflict degree measurement and combination of evidences.

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Shannon entropy in quasiparticle states of quantum chains

open access: yes
We investigate the Shannon entropy of the total system and its subsystems, as well as the subsystem Shannon mutual information, in quasiparticle excited states of free bosonic and fermionic chains and the ferromagnetic phase of the spin-1/2 XXX chain ...

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Soil salinity effects on pollen and pollinator visitation in a buzz‐pollinated glycophyte, Solanum carolinense

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Human activity has significantly altered the salt cycle, affecting an estimated 2.5 billion acres of soil worldwide. Elevated soil salinity is a well‐known plant stressor, but it may also affect interactions between plants and insects, which are often sodium limited.

Altered Nasal Microbiota in Sinonasal Tumors: A Comparative Analysis of Malignant and Benign Sinonasal Tumors

open access: yesInternational Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Although shifts in nasal microbiota have been well‐documented in inflammatory upper airway conditions, microbiota tumor‐associated alterations remain uncharacterized. This study is the first to compare sinonasal microbiota profiles of patients with malignant tumors (MT), benign tumors (BT), and controls, offering insights into tumor‐

Early diabetes‐like phenotypes in germ‐free mice induced by gut microbiota from patients with type 2 diabetes

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Gut microbiota from patients with type 2 diabetes induced early diabetes‐like phenotypes in germ‐free mice, including progressive glucose intolerance and mild renal injury. Longitudinal profiling revealed persistent dysbiosis preceding stable metabolic dysfunction, with coordinated fecal and plasma metabolite alterations and a prominent L‐Dopa ...

Shotgun Metagenomic Profiling of the Gut Virome in Prodromal and Confirmed Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
We conducted a nested case‐control study within the Nurses’ Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow‐up Study to examine the role of the gut virome (GV) in Parkinson's disease (PD). We applied a novel metagenomic virome profiling approach, Bioinformatic Application for Quantification and Labeling of Viral taxonomy (BAQLaVa), to prospectively ...

First‐Principles Study of Structural, Mechanical, Electronic, Thermodynamical, and Optical Properties of XGaO2 (X = Rb and Cs): Unlocking Its Green Energy Potential

open access: yesAdvanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
This study employs density functional theory (DFT) to investigate the structural, mechanical, electronic, optical, and thermodynamic properties of RbGaO2 and CsGaO2. The calculated band structures and band‐edge positions indicate semiconducting behavior and favorable alignment for photocatalytic dye degradation and hydrogen evolution, highlighting ...
