'Andrew Friedman' 'Laura A. Magee'] Administrative claims and electronic health records are valuable resources for evaluating pharmaceutical effects during pregnancy. However, direct measures of gestational age are generally not available. Establishing a reliable approach to infer the duration and outcome of a…

Pollen is a common allergen that causes significant health and financial impacts on up to a third of the population of the USA. Knowledge of the main pollen season can improve diagnosis and treatment of allergic diseases. Our objective in this study is to provide clear, quantitative visualizations of pollen data and…

In paddy rice cultivation, the amount of water used during the beginning of the irrigation season is the highest. However, there is a possibility of a water shortage at this season as climate change decreases snowfall. In this study, we propose new schemes based on the public goods game to reduce peak water volume…

Background Prospective registration of clinical trials is mandated by various regulations. However, clinical trial registries like ClinicalTrials.gov allow registry entries to be updated at any time, and key study elements, including the start date, may change before the first patient is enrolled. If a trial changes…

After publication of this Registered Report Protocol [1], concerns were raised about the study dates reported in the Materials and Methods section. Specifically, the study dates (participant recruitment and follow-up: November 1, 2020 - April 30, 2022) preceded the Registered Report Protocol’s acceptance date of March…

'Till Bärnighausen' 'Deenan Pillay' 'Ian Sanne' 'Sergio Carmona' 'Wendy Stevens' 'Matthew P Fox'] Background Poor clinical record keeping hinders health systems monitoring and patient care in many low resource settings. We develop and validate a novel method to impute dates of antiretroviral treatment (ART) initiation…

Mosquito control strategies based on the mass release of modified males, such as genetically modified mosquitoes (GMMs), aim to suppress wild populations by impairing reproduction. Evaluating these interventions requires resource-intensive field trials, but a lack of standardized implementation practices, particularly…

This work analyzes the phase correlation of the three lunar cycles and the Saros/Exeligmos cycle, after the study of the chapter "About Exeligmos" in "Introduction to the Phenomena" by Geminus. Geminus refers that each Exeligmos Cycle began on very specific and rare dates, when the Moon positioned at the points of the…

Recent fossil discoveries suggest that Neandertals and Homo sapiens may have co-existed in Europe for as long as five to six thousand years. Yet, evidence for their contemporaneity at any regional scale remains elusive. In France and northern Spain, a region which features some of the latest directly-dated Neandertals…

We agree with the interpretation of W. Schlosser, that the Nebra Sky Disc is a reminder of a method of determining a start date (and possibly also an end date) of the farming year. We extend this interpretation. We think that we found the constellation Taurus on the Disc, which forms by addition of three stars from the…

The start-up phase of a clinical trial (CT) plays a vital role in execution of novel drug development. Hence, this study aims to identify the factors responsible for delaying the CT start-up phase. Further, it focuses on streamlining and reducing the cycle time of the start-up phase of newly sponsored CTs. Thirteen…

This paper shows the relationship between the forward start volatility swap price and the forward start zero vanna implied volatility of forward start options in rough volatility models. It is shown that in the short time-to-maturity limit the approximation error in the leading term of the correlated case with H ∈ (0…

Climate-driven advances in spring can result in phenological mismatch between brood rearing and prey availability and consequently cause decreased productivity in birds. How consequences of mismatch vary across species’ ranges, and how individual behavior can mitigate mismatch effects is less studied. We quantified the…

Leaf phenology is key for regulating total growing season mass and energy fluxes. Long-term temporal trends towards earlier leaf unfolding are observed across Northern Hemisphere forests. Phenological dates also vary between years, whereby end-of-season (EOS) dates correlate positively with start-of-season (SOS) dates…

The traditional date of 1595 BCE for the destruction of Babylon by the Hittite king Mursili I is accepted by most historians for many years despite notable controversies. This pivotal date is considered crucial to the various calculations of the early chronology of the ancient Near East. According to the Venus Tablet…
