Outliers in the training or test set used to fit and evaluate a classifier on transcriptomics data can considerably change the estimated performance of the model. Hence, an either too weak or a too optimistic accuracy is then reported and the estimat...
The measurements from multistatic radar systems are typically subjected to complicated data association, noise corruption, missed detection, and false alarms. Moreover, most of the current multistatic Doppler radar-based approaches in multitarget tra...
Estimation results obtained by parametric models may be seriously misleading when the model is misspecified or poorly approximates the true model. This study proposes a test that jointly tests the specifications of multiple response probabilities in...
Extreme weather increasingly damages forest ecosystems, and affected areas are often remote or inaccessible, limiting field surveys. In such contexts, remote sensing can complement damage assessment. This study presents a regional case study evaluati...
Creative tourism is a novel segment of the tourism market that may turn into a great opportunity for small cities to attract visitors. Thus, it can be a possible economic and social driver for local development. Despite its potentiality, not much emp...
Macroalgae are an integral part of estuarine primary production; however, their excessive growth may have severe negative impacts on the ecosystem. Although it is generally believed that algal blooms may be caused by a combination of excessive nutrie...
Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) are widely distributed in the world, but high-level phylogeny in Lepidoptera remains uncertain. More mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) data can help to conduct comprehensive analysis and construct a robust phylogen...
Persistent fiscal stress in South African municipalities undermines service delivery, yet practical tools for early detection remain limited. This study predicts one-year-ahead municipal financial distress to support risk-based prioritisation. We dev...
As a fundamental element of the transportation system, traffic signs are widely used to guide traffic behaviors. In recent years, drones have emerged as an important tool for monitoring the conditions of traffic signs. However, the existing image pro...
Parvovirus infection affects several animal species, especially young animals. In birds, parvovirus infection has been described in Muscovy ducks, turkeys, and chickens, all of which had enteric diseases characterized by diarrhea. Chicken parvovirus...
Phyla nodiflora is an herbaceous perennial and an enigmatic species. It is indigenous to the Americas but is considered a natural component of the flora in many areas and a weed in others. Our aim was to circumscribe the native range of P. nodiflora,...
Background: Accurate staging of bladder cancer is critical for guiding clinical management, particularly the distinction between non–muscle-invasive (T1) and muscle-invasive (T2–T4) disease. Although MRI offers superior soft-tissue contra...
Background: Rapid multiplex PCR assays promise faster and broader detection of uropathogens and resistance markers than conventional quantitative urine culture and susceptibility testing (C&S), but trial evidence linking PCR-guided management to...
