Influence of weather on gobbling activity of male wild turkeys

Abstract Gobbling activity of Eastern wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris; hereafter, turkeys) has been widely studied, focusing on drivers of daily variation. Weather variables are widely believed to influence gobbling activity, b...

Topograpaphic controls and future vulnerability of recurrent snowpatches in the Gaspé Peninsula (Québec, Canada)

Snowpatches are sensitive indicators of environmental change in mountain environments because their occurrence reflects interactions among topography, snow redistribution, and climate. Despite their ecological and geomorphological significa...

Assessing the impact of forest structure disturbances on the arboreal movement and energetics of orangutans—An agent-based modeling approach

Agent-based models have been developed and widely employed to assess the impact of disturbances or conservation management on animal habitat use, population development, and viability. However, the direct impacts of canopy disturbance on th...

On mathematical modeling of fractional-order stochastic for tuberculosis transmission dynamics

Tuberculosis remains one of the most dangerous diseases globally and has affected many people in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this paper, a fractional stochastic model of tuberculosis disease was formulated and analyzed. The existence and uniquen...

Internal Decoupling in Nonlinear Process Control

A simple method has been investigated for the total or partial removal of the effect of non-linear process phenomena in multi-variable feedback control systems. The method is based upon computing the control variables which will drive the p...

Mathematical modeling of the COVID-19 pandemic with intervention strategies

Mathematical modeling plays an important role to better understand the disease dynamics and designing strategies to manage quickly spreading infectious diseases in lack of an effective vaccine or specific antivirals. During this period, for...

Solar heat transport analysis of Falkner Skan Casson ternary hybrid nanoparticles over a permeable wedge

Abstract In the modern era, energy has become a vital concern across all sectors, while efficient energy generation remains a significant challenge for scientists and engineers. To overcome this issue, researchers have developed ternary hyb...

Cooperation-Based Modeling of Sustainable Development: An Approach from Filippov’s Systems

The concept of Sustainable Development has given rise to multiple interpretations. In this article, it is proposed that Sustainable Development should be interpreted as the capacity of territory, community, or landscape to conserve the noti...

Mathematics in Population Biology

"The formulation, analysis, and re-evaluation of mathematical models in population biology has become a valuable source of insight to mathematicians and biologists alike. This book presents an overview and selected sample of these results a...

The Mathematics of Marriage

Divorce rates are at an all-time high. But without a theoretical understanding of the processes related to marital stability and dissolution, it is difficult to design and evaluate new marriage interventions. The Mathematics of Marriage pro...

Understanding older adults’ continuance intention toward smart locks: a socio-technical study based on the Expectation-Confirmation Model of Information Systems and Task-Technology Fit Model

Background As aging populations continue to grow, smart home technologies—such as smart locks—have become increasingly essential to support older adults’ independent living. Long-term use remains a challenge, however, with most studies focu...

The economics of TAVI: A systematic review

Objective: The scope of this systematic review is to update the existing body of evidence regarding the cost-effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve implantation, stratified across all risk categories, and to assess their methodological...

Knowledge sharing of health technology for students in universities of technology

Knowledge sharing of technology innovation is the main developmental force in the 21st century knowledge-based economy. This study aims to research the factors of students' knowledge sharing of health technology in universities of technolog...

Parental Birth-Related PTSD Symptoms and Bonding in the Early Postpartum Period: A Prospective Population-Based Cohort Study

The parent-infant bond following childbirth is an important facilitator of optimal infant development. So far, research has mainly focused on mother-infant bonding. Data on fathers are still sparse. Parental mental health, such as posttraum...

Structural analysis of key factors in poverty alleviation for policy development in persistently impoverished provinces in Thailand

IntroductionPoverty remains a persistent and complex challenge in Thailand, particularly in structurally disadvantaged provinces such as Kalasin. Despite multiple national development strategies, poverty rates in Kalasin have remained consi...

Human cardiac innervation-on-a-chip platform recapitulates neurocardiac interactions and supports future disease modeling

Abstract The cardiac autonomic nervous system regulates cardiac function through innervation, and dysfunction of the neuronal and cardiovascular crosstalk has been linked to various pathologies. Here, we present a cardiac innervation-on-a-c...
