Burden Sharing in CSDP Military Operations
Military burden sharing has been a subject of repeated debates in NATO and the UN. Despite more modest goals, the European Union’s (EU) Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP)... -
Multirater Validation of Peripapillary Hyperreflective Ovoid Mass-like Struct...
Peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) are a new retinal optical coherence tomography (OCT) finding. The Optic Disc Drusen Studies Consortium had made... -
Multiple regression model averaging and the focused information criterion wit...
We consider multiple regression (MR) model averaging using the Focused Informati on Criterion (FIC). Our approach is motivated by the problem of implementing a mean-variance... -

Testing for correlation between two time series using a parametric bootstrap
We study the problem of determining if two time series are correlated in the mean and variance. Several test statistics, originally designed for determining the correlation... -
Handgrip strength improves prediction of type 2 diabetes: a prospective cohor...
We aimed to determine whether handgrip strength (HGS)improves type 2 diabetes (T2D) risk prediction beyond conventional risk factors. Handgrip strength was assessed at baseline... -
Association of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate exposure with chronic kidney dis...
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)-based regimens have been associated with impaired kidney function and loss of bone mineral density among patients living with HIV (PLWH). We... -

Renal complications in COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Emerging data suggest that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has extrapulmonary manifestations but its renal manifestations are not clearly defined. We aimed to evaluate renal... -
Reliability analysis of multicomponent stress–strength reliability from a bat...
In this paper, inference for a multicomponent stress–strength model is studied. When latent strength and stress random variables follow a bathtub-shaped distribution and the... -
Vehicle safety characteristics in vulnerable driver populations
National data suggest drivers who are younger, older, and have lower socioeconomic status (SES) have heightened crash-related injury rates. Ensuring vulnerable drivers are in... -

Expression of ADR-α1, 2 and ADR-β2 in cumulus cell culture of infertile women...
Alpha and beta-adrenoceptors (ADR-α1, 2, and β2) play a regulatory role in the folliculogenesis and steroidogenesis in the ovarian follicles. This study aimed to measure these... -
On Design Orthogonality, Maximin Distance, and Projection Uniformity for Comp...
Space-filling designs are widely used in both computer and physical experiments. Column-orthogonality, maximin distance, and projection uniformity are three basic and popular... -
Exponentiality tests based on Basu characterization
This paper proposes and studies two new classes of tests for exponentiality. Both of them are based on Basu's characterization of the exponential distribution. The null... -
Elective cesarean delivery and long-term cardiovascular morbidity in the offs...
To evaluate the impact of cesarean delivery (CD) on offspring risk for long-term cardiovascular morbidity. A population-based cohort analysis was performed, including all... -
