Intimate Spaces on the Open Road: Navigating Access, Trust, and Ethical Boundaries during Field Research with Long Haul Truck Drivers

open access: yesSymbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Despite its ubiquity, the trucking industry is not well‐understood in social scientific literature. Gathering insight into truckers' worlds is difficult due to the solitary, isolating, and unpredictable nature of the work. An understanding of truckers' work lives and work ideologies is even further limited.

Local Regularization Assisted Orthogonal Least Squares Regression

open access: yes, 2006
A locally regularized orthogonal least squares (LROLS) algorithm is proposed for constructing parsimonious or sparse regression models that generalize well.

Clinical reasoning in feline non‐ambulatory tetraparesis or tetraplegia: Which combination of clinical information is useful?

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Non‐ambulatory tetraparesis or tetraplegia in cats may constitute a diagnostic challenge for general practitioners. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate if clinical variables from signalment, history, clinical examination and basic ancillary tests are associated with underlying diagnoses in cats with non‐ambulatory tetraparesis ...

Effect of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on physical activity and pain evaluation in osteoarthritic dogs

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Osteoarthritis (OA) causes chronic pain and reduces welfare in dogs. Standard treatments may be inadequate or associated with adverse effects, prompting investigation of alternative therapies. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non‐pharmacological pain management method, but evidence for its efficacy in canine ...

Consistent least squares fitting of ellipsoids

open access: yes, 2004
A parameter estimation problem for ellipsoid fitting in the presence of measurement errors is considered. The ordinary least squares estimator is inconsistent, and due to the nonlinearity of the model, the orthogonal regression estimator is inconsistent ...

Robust blind calibration via total least squares

open access: yes, 2014
This paper considers the problem of blindly calibrating large sensor networks to account for unknown gain and offset in each sensor. Under the assumption that the true signals mea-sured by the sensors lie in a known lower dimensional sub-space, previous ...

Solvent‐free thallium(I) tetrakis[3,5‐bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate: crystal structure, supramolecular interactions and anisotropic thermal expansion

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section C, EarlyView.
The solvent‐free structure of the thallium(I) salt of the weakly coordinating anion tetrakis[3,5‐bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate, Tl[BC32H12F24], exhibits short Tl…F contacts and a supramolecular architecture governed by C—H…F hydrogen bonds and weak F…F and C—F…π interactions.

Barbara's Daughters: Women's Boxing and Social Memory in Britain

open access: yesHistory, EarlyView.
Abstract A pioneer of post‐war boxing, Barbara Buttrick fought in fairgrounds and on music‐hall stages in Britain and France before making a career in the United States during the 1950s. She fought against practical obstacles, prejudice and discrimination to become the Women's World Flyweight and Bantamweight Champion in 1957. This article examines her

Dutch dilemma: Housing prices and flood risk exposure

open access: yesReal Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article studies the impact of flood risk exposure on housing prices in a major river delta. Analyzing 1.8 million property transactions from 1998 to 2023 in the Netherlands, we find an average price discount of 1.1%. We observe considerable heterogeneity in price effects driven by exposure intensity, institutional settings that vary ...
