Abstract Measurement and non-response errors significantly affect the accuracy of estimates.Measurement errors, from inaccurate data collection, distort variable relationships and bias results, while non-response errors, from missing data, lead to unrepresentative samples, especially when systematic.Both increase variability, reduce precision, and

Thin and flexible sensor foils are very suitable for unobtrusive integration with mechanical structures and allow monitoring for example strain and temperature while minimally interfering with the operation of those structures.Electrical strain gages have long been used for this purpose, but optical strain sensors based on Bragg gratings are gainin

Abstract Species Distribution Models are commonly used with surface dynamic environmental variables as Notebook proxies for prey distribution to characterise marine top predator habitats.For oceanic species that spend lot of time at depth, surface variables might not be relevant to predict deep-dwelling prey distributions.We hypothesised that descr

Background & objectives: Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a mosquitoe-borne viral zoonotic disease and globally around three billion people are at the risk of disease.The occurrence of JE cases has shown a rising trend during last decade in India.Pig is the amplifying host for JE virus and serves as a suitable sentinel model for the prediction of dise

The territory of Eastern Serbia throughout history was known for the presence of the Vlach population.The Vlachs came to northeastern Serbia from different regions and were divided into two groups: the Ungrujans and the Carans.The Ungrujans came from the area of Hungary (Transylvania and Banat), while the Carans came from Wallachia and Moldavia.The
