Abstract:
... Under the U.S. Electoral College system, battleground states receive a degree of attention from candidates and political parties that is out of proportion to their contribution to the vote total because they can effectively determine the outcome of a presidential election. Although the public and researchers tend to focus on the immediate impact of winning a battleground state on the current conte ...

Abstract:
... Verbal descriptions are commonly used in daily lives for giving directions for wayfinding. They are valuable sources to understand underlying components that can contribute to spatial orientation, which is degrading with the growing use of routing services in navigation systems. Previous studies deconstruct and categorize all information embedded in spatial descriptions as a framework to investiga ...

Abstract:
... ‘Evolvability’ – the ability to undergo adaptive evolution – is a key concept for understanding and predicting the response of biological systems to environmental change. Evolvability has various facets and is applied in many ways, easily leading to misunderstandings among researchers. To clarify matters, we first categorize the mechanisms and organismal features underlying evolvability into deter ...

Abstract:
... Amphibians are a diverse animal class but are often only associated with frogs and salamanders in their most classical forms. However, each order within amphibians (frogs, salamanders, and caecilians) has highly specialized characters and/or species that fascinate researchers as well as laypersons world-wide. This special issue is aimed to provide an overview of some fascinating or even spectacula ...

Abstract:
... Biofilm secreted by microalgae are extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) composed mainly of polysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. These EPSs immobilize the cells and stabilize biofilm, mediating adhesion towards solid surfaces. The EPSs valorization through industrial exploitations and scientific works is becoming more popular, but the bottleneck of such studies is the lack of c ...

Abstract:
... A drug dataset containing international proprietary names is essential for researchers investigating different drugs from different countries worldwide. However, many websites on the internet offer free access for a single drug searching service to identify international drug trade names, but not for a list of drugs to be searched and identified. Therefore, it will be problematic if the researcher ...

Abstract:
... We develop methods for robust Bayesian inference in structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) where the parameters of interest are set-identified using external instruments, or ‘proxy SVARs’. Set-identification in these models typically occurs when there are multiple instruments for multiple structural shocks. Existing Bayesian approaches to inference in proxy SVARs require researchers to specify ...

Abstract:
... AbstractThe international DNA sequence databases abound in fungal sequences not annotated beyond the kingdom level, typically bearing names such as “uncultured fungus”. These sequences beget low-resolution mycological results and invite further deposition of similarly poorly annotated entries. What do these sequences represent? This study uses a 767,918-sequence corpus of public full-length funga ...

Abstract:
... This paper studies large sample properties of a Bayesian approach to inference about slope parameters γ in linear regression models with a structural break. In contrast to the conventional approach to inference about γ that does not take into account the uncertainty of the unknown break date, the Bayesian approach that we consider incorporates such uncertainty. Our main theoretical contribution is ...
