Erratum to: Search for resonant and nonresonant production of pairs of dijet resonances in proton-proton collisions at s $$ \sqrt{s} $$ = 13 TeV

Accretion Discs in Astrophysics

My life has been an interesting voyage. I became an astronomer because I could not imagine living on Earth and not trying to understand how the Universe works. My scientific career has revolved around observing the motions of stars within g...

Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics

V L Ginzberg (translated by D ter Haar) 1979 Oxford: Pergamon x + 457 pp price £25 (£10 paperback) The author views his work as a supplementary text devoted to particular aspects of theoretical physics applied to astrophysics, rather than a...

On the Variability of Functional Connectivity and Network Measures in Source-Reconstructed EEG Time-Series

The idea of estimating the statistical interdependence among (interacting) brain regions has motivated numerous researchers to investigate how the resulting connectivity patterns and networks may organize themselves under any conceivable sc...

Collisions and particle dynamics around black holes surrounded by PFDM in STVG

Abstract Testing dark matter effects on gravity around black holes in the framework of gravity theories through observational data is an essential task of relativistic astrophysical studies. In this work, we first obtain a new spacetime sol...

Impact of Higher Harmonics of Gravitational Radiation on the Population Inference of Binary Black Holes

Templates modeling just the dominant mode of gravitational radiation are generally sufficient for the unbiased parameter inference of near-equal-mass compact binary mergers. However, neglecting the subdominant modes can bias the inference i...

ZOTMPo–INAR(1) Process: Entropy and Modeling of Epidemiological Count Time Series Data

In this article, we propose a first-order integer-valued autoregressive (INAR(1)) model based on binomial thinning, in which the innovation sequence follows a zero–one–two-modified Poisson (ZOTMPo) distribution. The proposed model accommoda...

Healthcare Teams Neurodynamically Reorganize When Resolving Uncertainty

Research on the microscale neural dynamics of social interactions has yet to be translated into improvements in the assembly, training and evaluation of teams. This is partially due to the scale of neural involvements in team activities, sp...

Theoretical Astrophysics

This volume provides comprehensive coverage of all aspects of cosmology and extragalactic astronomy at an advanced level. Beginning with an overview of the key observational results and necessary terminology, it goes on to cover important t...

Neutrinos in Physics and Astrophysics

This work provides an overview of the subject of neutrino physics that will be of value to both the serious graduate student and the professional physicist. The authors focus on topics vital to the understanding of the intrinsic properties ...

Protocol for a mixed methods process evaluation for a randomised controlled trial to improve shared decision-making about, and uptake of, osteoporosis medicines: the iFraP study [version 3; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Background High quality shared decision-making (SDM) conversations involve people with or at risk of osteoporosis and clinicians working together to decide, where appropriate, which evidence-based medicines best fit the person’s life, belie...

Plasma Exchange for ANCA-Associated Vasculitis: An International Survey of Patient PreferencesPlain Language Summary

Rationale & Objective: We sought to elicit patient preferences regarding the use of plasma exchange in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis (AAV) and its tradeoffs of risk of kidney failure and risk of serious infec...

Predicting hospital admissions from individual patient data (IPD): an applied example to explore key elements driving external validity

Objective To explore factors that potentially impact external validation performance while developing and validating a prognostic model for hospital admissions (HAs) in complex older general practice patients.Study design and setting Using ...

Epidemiology of Bladder Cancer

Based on the latest GLOBOCAN data, bladder cancer accounts for 3% of global cancer diagnoses and is especially prevalent in the developed world. In the United States, bladder cancer is the sixth most incident neoplasm. A total of 90% of bla...

The epidemiology of theileriosis in Africa

The title of this book does not adequately reflect the comprehensive treatment of a complex and important parasitic disease of domestic cattle. Despite the passing of 100 years, East Coast fever (ECF) remains an economically and environment...

Studies of the epidemiology of bulimia nervosa

Research on the epidemiology of bulimia nervosa has focused largely on the prevalence of the disorder. As methods have improved, consensus has increased regarding the prevalence rate among adolescent and young adult women--about 1%. However...

Assessing PM2.5 pollution in the Northeastern United States from the 2023 Canadian wildfire smoke: an episodic study integrating air quality and health impact modeling with emissions and meteorological uncertainty analysis

Between June 6 and 8, 2023, wildfires in Quebec, Canada generated massive smoke plumes that traveled long distances and deteriorated air quality across the Northeastern United States (US). Surface daily PM _2.5 observations exceeded 100 µ g...

Efficacy of integrative medicine using Yinhua-based herbal granules on herpangina: A Bayesian network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Background: Different Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the format of granules, such as Kanggan Granules (KangGs), Kouyanqing Granules (KouGs), Lianhua Qingwen Granules (LQGs), Qingkailing Granules (QGs) and Xiao'er Qingjie Granules (XQ...

Epidemiology of varicose veins

Assessment and treatment of varicose veins comprises a significant part of the surgical workload. In the UK, National Health Service waiting lists suggest that there is still considerable unmet need. This review analyses all published data ...
