Human and animal diet reconstruction studies that rely on tissue chemical signatures aim at providing estimates the relative intake of potential food groups. However, several sources uncertainty need to be considered when handling data. Bayesian mixing models provide a natural platform handle diverse while allowing user contribute with prior expert information. The model FRUITS (Food Reconstruction Using Isotopic Transferred Signals) was developed for use in studies. incorporates capability...
Apart from influencing the health of worldwide population, COVID-19 pandemic changed day-to-day life all, including children. A sedentary lifestyle along with transformation eating and sleep habits took place in child population. These changes created a highly obesogenic environment. Our aim was to evaluate current weight population identify real effects pandemic. Height data were collected by pediatricians pre-COVID-19 post-COVID-19 periods 3517 children (1759 boys 1758 girls) aged 4.71...
Abstract Within behavioural research, non‐normally distributed data with a complicated structure are common. For instance, can represent repeated observations of quantities on the same individual. The regression analysis such is both by interdependency (response variables) and their non‐normal distribution. Over last decade, have been more frequently analysed using generalized mixed‐effect models. Some researchers invoke heavy machinery modelling to obtain desired population‐level (marginal)...
Abstract Recent observations of tree regeneration failures following large and severe disturbances, particularly under warm dry conditions, have raised concerns about the resilience forest ecosystems their recovery dynamics in face climate change. We investigated temperate forests Europe after disturbance events (i.e., resulting more than 70% canopy loss patches larger 1 ha), with a range one to five decades since occurred. The study included 143 sites different types management practices...

Drift fences with pit-fall traps installed varying from reproduction pond. No substitute breeding ponds available nearby. 4423 m drift fence was and data a total 4823 specimens collected.

Abstract Background: The trend in the body mass index (BMI) values of US population has not been estimated accurately because time series data are unavailable and focus on calculating period effects. Objectives: To estimate rate change BMI by birth cohorts stratified gender ethnicity born 1882–1986. Methods: We use loess additive regression models to age effects US‐born black white adults measured between 1959 2006. all National Health Examination Survey Nutrition data. Results: increase was...

Abstract Behavioural research often produces data that have a complicated structure. For instance, can represent repeated observations of the same individual and suffer from heteroscedasticity as well other technical snags. The regression analysis such is by fact (response variables) are mutually correlated. correlation structure be quite complex might or not direct interest to user. In any case, one needs take correlations into account (e.g. means random‐effect specification) in order...
The ignition delay is an important parameter which characterizes the initiation of combustion process and consequently its development in Diesel engines. This mainly depends on chemical factors are related to fuel structure properties also physical engine operating conditions. need for alternative fuels usage engines determined by depletion petroleum resources regulations imposed pollutant emissions have enforced researches renewable biofuels. Among these new fuels, biodiesel B7, actually...
Abstract Background Infection plays a role in the pathogenesis of many human malignancies. Whether prostate cancer (PCa) - an important health issue aging male population Western world belongs to these conditions has been matter research since 1970 s. Persistent serum antibodies are proof present or past infection. The aim this study was compare against genitourinary infectious agents between PCa patients and controls with benign hyperplasia (BPH). We hypothesized that elevated antibody...
We used cytogenetic analysis to carry out a cohort study in which the major objective was test association between frequency of chromosomal aberrations and subsequent risk cancer. In spite extensive use human peripheral blood lymphocytes biomonitoring exposure various mutagens carcinogens on an ecologic level, long-term effects increased individuals are still uncertain. Few epidemiologic studies have addressed this issue, moderate cancer with elevated has been observed. present study, we...
