Modeling the risk of illegal forest activity and its distribution in the southeastern region of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range, Philippines

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2022
Illegal activity within protected forests, such as illegal logging, slash-and-burn farming, and agricultural expansion, has brought many plant and animal species to the brink of extinction and threatens various conservation efforts.

Modified slash Birnbaum-Saunders distribution

Hacettepe Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, 2016
Summary: In this paper, we introduce an extension for the Birnbaum-Saunders (BS) distribution based on the modified slash (MS) distribution proposed by \textit{J. Reyes} et al. [Statistics 47, No. 5, 929--941 (2013; Zbl 1440.62054)]. This new family of BS type distributions is obtained by replacing the usual normal distribution with the quotient of two

Maize Anther Development Involves Translated Open Reading Frames From 3′ Untranslated Regions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study examined the translation activity across ten stages of maize anther development, integrating transcriptome and small‐peptide data. It linked mutations in translated 3' ORFs to anther sterility, exemplified by Zm00001eb417050_3' ORF (known as APV1). In addition, the data indicated that maize anthers could assimilate CO2 through the stomata in

On univariate slash distributions, continuous and discrete [PDF]

Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics, 2019
The author investigates general properties of random variables of the form \(Y/U\) (the so-called slash distributions), where \(Y\) and \(U\) are independent random variables with \(Y\) supported on \(\mathbb{R}^+\) and \(U\) uniformly distributed on \((0,1)\), and the more general \(\alpha\)-slash distributions of the form \(Y_\alpha/U^{1/\alpha}\), \(

Insights Into CO2 Loss, pH Effects, and Tafel Kinetics in Ni Single Atom‐Driven Bicarbonate Electroreduction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Selective CO formation in bicarbonate electrolysis is achieved by retaining reactive CO2 and tuning pH, while the competing hydrogen evolution reaction occurs at the interface. The rate‐determining step couples the chemical equilibrium of bicarbonate/CO2 with electrochemical charge transfer, offering insight into optimizing reaction conditions for ...

ControlIt: A Universal Framework for Translational, Adaptive, and Online Brain–Computer Interfaces

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) lack a unified platform that works across signals and algorithms. ControlIt, an open‐source, modular ROS2‐based BCI framework supporting electroencephalography (EEG), electrocorticography (ECoG), and spike‐based decoding across both classification and regression tasks is presented.

The effects of vegetation type on ecosystem carbon storage and distribution in subtropical plantations

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023
Establishing plantation forests significantly increases the carbon (C) storage of terrestrial ecosystems. However, how vegetation types affect the ecosystem C sequestration capacity is not completely clear.

Osteological correlates of the respiratory and vascular systems in the neural canals of Mesozoic ornithurines Ichthyornis and Janavis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In birds, the neural canal houses a variety of anatomical structures including the spinal cord, meninges, spinal vasculature, and respiratory diverticula. Among these, paramedullary diverticula and the extradural dorsal spinal vein may leave behind osteological correlates in the form of pneumatic foramina and fossae, and a bilobed geometry of ...

The Location-Scale Mixture Exponential Power Distribution: A Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood Approach

Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2012
We introduce an alternative skew-slash distribution by using the scale mixture of the exponential power distribution. We derive the properties of this distribution and estimate its parameter by Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian methods.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
