Variation in Mortality and Ageing Rate in a Fast‐Paced Species: Insights From 24 Years of Hazel Dormouse (Muscardinus avellanarius) Data by Thomas Bjørneboe Berg, Fernando Colchero, Owen R. Jones, Lene Sanderhoff, Rimvydas Juškaitis

“…ABSTRACT Recent research has found that, among some mammal species, differences in environmental conditions among populations of the same species drive changes in infant and juvenile mortality, but not in the rate of senescence, also known as the rate of ageing. …”

Effects of the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program on Public School Students’ Achievement and Graduation Rates by Anna J. Egalite, Andrew D. Catt

“…We used this precise measure in a difference-in-differences framework to examine impacts on student math and English language arts test scores and graduation rates. Using a student-level dataset that covers the 2006–07 through 2015–16 school years, we found little evidence that the average student in an Indiana traditional public school had been affected—either positively or negatively— by the enactment and growth of the Indiana Choice Scholarship Program. …”

An Evaluation of the Use of Simulated Annealing to Optimize Thinning Rates for Single Even-Aged Stands by Kai Moriguchi, Tatsuhito Ueki, Masashi Saito

“…We evaluated the potential of simulated annealing as a reliable method for optimizing thinning rates for single even-aged stands. Four types of yield models were used as benchmark models to examine the algorithm’s versatility. …”

Study on energy evolution and crack propagation of filling mortar-rock at different loading rates. by Hanqiu Wang, Chengyong Liu, Yuyi Wu, Yuhua Guan, Tongde Zhao

“…However, when shotcrete becomes tightly bonded with rock masses, the energy evolution and crack initiation mechanisms between the two materials exhibit remarkable complexity. Different loading rates significantly alter the internal stress distribution and deformation characteristics within the composite system, thereby influencing the patterns of energy evolution and crack propagation. …”

Evolution of accessory bones in cetacean skull coupled with decreasing rate of ossification of cranial sutures by Valeriia Telizhenko, Pavel Gol’din

“…A strong phylogenetic signal was found for both suture ossification rate and accessory bone presence. Cetaceans were shown to have a lower ossification rate than most terrestrial artiodactyls, except deer (Cervidae) and mouse deer (Tragulidae), which showed somewhat similar patterns. …”

Determining optimum plant density and nitrogen rate using field experiment and model simulation by Bizuwork Tafes Desta, Sisay Eshetu Tesema, Gebrekidan Feleke Mekuria, Almaz Meseret Gezahegn, Alemayehu Zemede Lemma

“…The model was further evaluated with the experimental data conducted during the 2020 cropping season under four plant densities and four nitrogen fertilizer rates. Because of differences in temperature and rainfall patterns during the potential growing season, seasonal analysis was used to determine the optimum plant density and N rate using 37 years (1985–2022) of historical weather data. …”
