Multidimensional scaling [PDF]

, 2004
Multidimensional scaling is a statistical technique to visualize dissimilarity data. In multidimensional scaling, objects are represented as points in a usually two dimensional space, such that the distances between the points match the observed ...

The grand old party – a party of values? [PDF]

, 2014
In this article we explore the semantic space spanned by self-reported statements of Republican voters. Our semantic structure analysis uses multidimensional scaling and social network analysis to extract, explore, and visualize word patterns and word ...

From signing up to staying in: Exploring factors associated with engagement in parenting programs

Family Relations, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 1453-1471, April 2026.
Abstract Objective This study explored individual and program factors associated with engagement in early childhood parenting programs in the United Arab Emirates. Background Parenting programs can improve caregiver well‐being, parenting skills, and child outcomes, but their success relies on effective recruitment and sustained participation ...

Experimental evidence for the “greening” of proglacial streams: Biofilm responses to a transition from glacial to groundwater sources

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Climate change‐induced glacier retreat leads to the reorganization of fluvial landscapes in proglacial terrains and transitions between streams fed predominantly by glacial meltwater and groundwater. To explore the effects of such ecosystem transitions on benthic biofilm communities, we gradually mixed water from a glacier‐fed stream (GFS) and

Reconstruction of 3D genome architecture via a two-stage algorithm [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: The three-dimensional (3D) configuration of chromosomes within the eukaryote nucleus is an important factor for several cellular functions, including gene expression regulation, and has also been linked with cancer-causing translocation ...

Aerial Localization and Navigation for Surveillance of Large, Featureless, GNSS‐Denied Maritime Environments

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 42, Issue 8, Page 4215-4235, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In this study, we tackle the problem of surveilling a large area over the sea without access to the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) while searching for the known target vessel. The system utilizes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with long‐range radio frequency (LoRa) localization and an RGB camera to detect the target ...

Does the Value Circle Exist Within Persons or Only Across Persons? [PDF]

, 2017
Objective: To test whether the Schwartz (1992) value circle exists within individuals, not only across individuals, thereby providing evidence for the within-person rationale underlying the value circle.

Self-adaptation of Genetic Operators Through Genetic Programming Techniques

, 2017
Here we propose an evolutionary algorithm that self modifies its operators at the same time that candidate solutions are evolved. This tackles convergence and lack of diversity issues, leading to better solutions.

Multidimensional Scaling With Heaviside Weighting: Extensions to Curvilinear Component Analysis and Curvilinear Distance Analysis

Stat, Volume 14, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT In this article, I propose extensions to multidimensional scaling (MDS) variants that use Heaviside weighting for manifold learning, namely, curvilinear component analysis and curvilinear distance analysis. These methods weight the approximation error with a Heaviside function to ignore larger fitted distances in the configuration, thus ...

Drivers of Coral and Sponge Community Composition and Size Structure Revealed With Cumulative Abundance Profiles

Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Deep‐sea corals and sponges form ecologically significant habitats that support biodiversity hotspots and contribute to important ecosystem functions such as carbon and nutrient cycling as well as benthic‐pelagic coupling. However, quantifying their contributions to ecosystem functioning requires examination not only of the fine spatial ...
