Development and Implementation of an Interprofessional, Age-Friendly Learning Academy Open
There is a shortage of interprofessional geriatrics clinical training and education experiences for health professions students. To address this, we developed an eight-week longitudinal clinical experience for interprofessional learners, i…
Institutional ownership and bond pricing: Evidence from China Open
This paper examines the impact of institutional ownership on the bond yield spreads of publicly traded Chinese firms. Our research results show the presence of a U-shaped, non-linear relationship between the shareholdings of institutional …
Magnetic Feshbach resonances in Ba$^+$+Li collisions due to strong spin-orbit coupling Open
We report a pronounced dependence of magnetic Feshbach resonance spectra on the initial hyperfine-Zeeman state of Li in ultracold $^{138}$Ba$^+$+$^6$Li collisions. The measured number and distribution of resonances differ significantly bet…
Flying safe: The impact of corporate governance on aviation safety Open
This study examines the impact of various measures of corporate governance on airline safety, addressing a significant gap in the literature that explores safety performance within the aviation industry. Using data from seventy countries s…
Estimating Seasonal and Interannual Variations in Precipitation in Rural Eastern Africa: A Case Study in Longido, Tanzania Open
Access to water is a limiting factor for development in many semi-arid regions, contributing to food insecurity and environmental stresses on the local population. Additionally, some rural areas still have limited quantitative data on weat…
Use of Assimilation Analysis in 4D-Var Source Inversion: Observing System Simulation Experiments (OSSEs) with GOSAT Methane and Hemispheric CMAQ Open
We previously introduced the parametric variance Kalman filter (PvKF) assimilation as a cost-efficient system to estimate the dynamics of methane analysis concentrations. As an extension of our development, this study demonstrates the link…
Implementing the STEADY Wellness Program to Support Healthcare Workers throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic Open
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed an ongoing threat to the mental wellbeing of countless individuals worldwide, with healthcare workers at particularly high risk. We developed the STEADY staff wellness program prior to the pandemic based on …
Characteristics of Children With Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Coexisting Celiac Disease Seropositivity Open
Objectives: Celiac disease (CeD) autoimmunity and coexisting inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) present a diagnostic dilemma. Our aims were to describe the phenotype of children with IBD and CeD seropositivity and evaluate provider confidenc…
Identification of Genetic Diversity, Pyrrocidine-Producing Strains and Transmission Modes of Endophytic Sarocladium zeae Fungi from Zea Crops Open
Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) was used to reveal the inherent genetic variation within the haploid fungi Sarocladium zeae isolated from diverse Zea germplasm, including modern Zea mays and its wild progenitors—the teosintes. In accordance…
Evaluation of a Drama-Based Experiential Learning Group Programme for Multidisciplinary Staff and People With Lived Experience in Psychiatry Open
Aims Experiential learning, such as simulation-based training, is widely used in health education. Dramatic self-expression adds another layer through enacted perspective taking, and embodied self-exploration of interaction with others, to…
Comprehensive compartmental model and calibration algorithm for the study of clinical implications of the population-level spread of COVID-19: a study protocol Open
Introduction The complex dynamics of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has made obtaining reliable long-term forecasts of the disease progression difficult. Simple mechanistic models with deterministic parameters are useful …
Assimilation of GOSAT Methane in the Hemispheric CMAQ; Part II: Results Using Optimal Error Statistics Open
We applied the parametric variance Kalman filter (PvKF) data assimilation designed in Part I of this two-part paper to GOSAT methane observations with the hemispheric version of CMAQ to obtain the methane field (i.e., optimized analysis) w…
Assimilation of GOSAT Methane in the Hemispheric CMAQ; Part I: Design of the Assimilation System Open
We present a parametric Kalman filter data assimilation system using GOSAT methane observations within the hemispheric CMAQ model. The assimilation system produces forecasts and analyses of concentrations and explicitly computes its evolvi…
Stakeholder Voice in Water Resource Planning Open
Stakeholder engagement for natural resource management at the state and local levels has become an important governance practice. This study examines the association of individual traits (aggressive communication, comfort with technology, …

An Application of The Lomb-Scargle Periodogram To Investigate Heart Rate Variability During Haemodialysis Open
Objective: Short-term cardiovascular compensatory responses to perturbations in the circulatory system caused by haemodialysis can be investigated by spectral analysis of heart rate variability. This could provide an important variable for…

Evaluation of a multi-model, multi-constituent assimilation framework for tropospheric chemical reanalysis Open
We introduce a Multi-mOdel Multi-cOnstituent Chemical data assimilation (MOMO-Chem) framework that directly accounts for model error in transport and chemistry, and we integrate a portfolio of data assimilation analyses obtained using mult…
