Normality of sagittal spinal alignment parameters reveals evolutionary signals in healthy adults across five countries

Scientific Reports
The evolution of upright bipedalism required coordinated modifications in spinal curvature, pelvic orientation, and lower limb structure. However, it remains unclear whether sagittal alignment traits in modern humans have reached evolutionary ...

Pricing Dynamics in the US Hemp Market: A Vertical Price Transmission Analysis of the Hemp Value Chain

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The US hemp market is a new and nascent industry that has been devoid of research for about half a century. This study examined the effects of exogenous shock on price at each phase of the value chain—Farm (hemp biomass), and its impact on prices at other phases of the value chain—Intermediary Processor (crude cannabidiol hemp) and Final ...

Food Security Strategy, Macroeconomic Dynamics and Food Import Sensitivity in Qatar

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Qatar has limited agricultural land and water resources and therefore remains highly dependent on food imports. This structural dependency makes Qatar vulnerable to external shocks such as the recent Gulf crisis, threatening food security and disrupting global supply chains. In response to previous shocks, Qatar started implementing a National

Mixtures of Factor Analyzers with Fundamental Skew Symmetric Distributions

, 2018
Mixtures of factor analyzers (MFA) provide a powerful tool for modelling high-dimensional datasets. In recent years, several generalizations of MFA have been developed where the normality assumption of the factors and/or of the errors was relaxed to allow for skewness in the data.

A Computational Approach for Biomimetic Design of Liver‐On‐A‐Chip

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
A biomimetic liver‐on‐a‐chip with antiparallel perfusion was designed using COMSOL‐guided simulation to replicate hepatic acinus transport. Full‐scale modelling revealed diffusion‐dominated, length‐dependent nutrient gradients and low‐shear conditions.

Data‐Driven High‐Throughput Volume Fraction Estimation From X‐Ray Diffraction Patterns

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
Long exposure times and the need for manual evaluation limit the use of X‐ray diffraction in high‐throughput applications. This study presents a data‐driven approach addressing both issues. HiVE (a method for High‐throughput Volume fraction Estimation) performs composition estimation for high‐noise XRD patterns produced using polychromatic emission ...

Interpretable Machine Learning for Bandgap Prediction and Descriptor‐Guided Design Rules of Phosphates

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
An explainable CatBoost model was trained to predict the bandgaps of 474 phosphate crystals based on composition and density descriptors. SHAP analysis identified two key variables—d‐electron‐count dispersion and atomic‐density dispersion—as the primary drivers of the model's predictions.
