Associations between measures of network centrality and Johne's disease among dairy herds in Ontario, Canada by J. Reilly Comper, Karen J. Hand, Zvonimir Poljak, David Kelton, Amy L. Greer

“…The objectives of this study were (1) to use data provided by Lactanet Canada to create a network of between-herd dairy cow movements during the OJEMAP study period (2010–2013) and of equal timescale post-OJEMAP (2014–2017) to assess changes in movement behavior in response to program recommendations; (2) to determine whether measures of network centrality from the 2014–2017 network are associated with a positive ELISA test sampled from 2017 BTM; and (3) to use a permutation-based approach (network k-test) to determine whether the structure of the cattle movement network is “epidemiologically relevant” to the distribution of high-risk JD herds in Ontario (i.e., whether the distribution of high-risk JD herds was due to the structure of the between-herd dairy cow movement network itself). …”

The pattern of state organization in the new constitution of Lithuania: A third way between the presidential and parliamentary systems? by Andreas Hollstein

Spatial distribution prediction of pore pressure based on Mamba model by Xingye Liu, Xingye Liu, Bing Liu, Wenyue Wu, Qian Wang, Yuwei Liu

“…IntroductionThe pore pressure of formations is a critical factor in assessing reservoir stability, designing drilling programs, and predicting production dynamics. Traditional methods often rely on limited well-logging data and empirical formulas to derive one-dimensional formation pressure models, which are inadequate for accurately reflecting the three-dimensional distribution of pore pressure in complex geological structures.MethodsTo address this challenge, this study leverages the temporal characteristics of well-logging and seismic data, employing the Mamba technique in conjunction with high-precision seismic inversion results, to construct a pore pressure prediction model. …”
