This study examines the widely held view that Punjabi women lack autonomy, having relatively little freedom to make their own choices. Through a survey questionnaire and in-depth interviews, the…

Converging empirical evidence portrays epistasis (i.e., gene-gene interaction) as a ubiquitous property of genetic architectures and protagonist in complex trait variability. While researchers employ…

Environmental monitoring is a critical component of resource management, but monitoring by Resource Management Agencies (RMAs) is often hindered by lack of time and financial resources, resulting in…

I tested whether the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys, discriminates among phenological stages of sunflower, Helianthus annuus. When BMSB females in a still-air laboratory…

Motivated by predicting the lifetime of polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs), we map the fracture dynamics of a network of ionomer bundles onto a correlated percolation model. A kinetic Monte Carlo…

Cardinality estimation is a fundamental but long unresolved problem in query optimization. Recently, multiple papers from different research groups consistently report that learned models have the…
