Evaluating the use of testate amoebae for palaeohydrological reconstruction in permafrost peatlands

, 2015
The melting of high-latitude permafrost peatlands is a major concern due to a potential positive feedback on global climate change. We examine the ecology of testate amoebae in permafrost peatlands, based on sites in Sweden (~ 200 km north of the Arctic ...

A Sensitivity Analysis Workflow for Power Series Compounded Lifetime Models: Evidence From Weibull Power Series Fits

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We propose a practical procedure to quantify the time varying influence of parameters on hazard functions for power series compounded lifetime models. The procedure combines likelihood based fitting with a two stage sensitivity analysis and applies to a range of baselines and compounding laws.

Integrating Chemical, Electrical, and Photonic Effects Into a Unified ETOP‐Based Plasma Dose Framework

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In plasma medicine and biological applications, plasmas typically deliver a complex combination of reactive chemical species and multiple physical energy components. However, establishing a unified and comparable dose metric to characterise their integrated biological effects remains a major challenge that continues to limit progress in this ...

Short‐Term Profits for Long‐Term Value: Corporate ESG Dilemmas Under Earnings Pressure and Pathways to Governance

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the negative effect of earnings pressure (EP) on corporate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and explores governance mechanisms that can address this problem. Drawing on behavioural agency theory and incorporating insights from resource allocation theory and agency theory, this paper identifies the key

Edge‐preserving noise for diffusion models

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Classical diffusion models typically rely on isotropic Gaussian noise, treating all regions uniformly and overlooking structural information important for high‐quality generation. We introduce an edge‐preserving diffusion process that generalizes isotropic models via a hybrid noise scheme with an edge‐aware scheduler that smoothly transitions ...

Noisy Graph Patterns via Ordered Matrices

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract The high‐level structure of a graph is a crucial ingredient for the analysis and visualization of relational data. However, discovering the salient graph patterns that form this structure is notoriously difficult for two reasons. (1) Finding important patterns, such as cliques and bicliques, is computationally hard.

AI‐enhanced decision support for fall patients: streamlining inpatient flow in the emergency department

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Emergency department (ED) overcrowding and inefficient patient flow are significant operational challenges, often amplified by the volume of patients sustaining fall‐related injuries. This study predicts hospital admission for these encounters by leveraging unstructured clinical text: triage chief complaints (reasons for seeking care) and ...

Long-term air pollution exposure and incident dementia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Lancet Planetary Health
BACKGROUND A rapidly evolving evidence base suggests that exposure to outdoor air pollution is a risk factor for the onset of dementia, with an upturn in publications since 2022. We sought to synthesise and critically assess this evidence base accounting
