(2024-07-15)Department: Earth & Environmental SciencesI present a precisely dated, high-resolution stable isotope (δ13C and δ18O) and trace element (Mg/Ca, Ba/Ca, Sr/Ca, Zn/Ca) record of mid-Holocene hydroclimate variability using a speleothem (WMC5) from White Moon Cave (WMC) ...
-
(2024-07-15)Department: BiostatisticsThis study examines the stability properties of several variance estimators associated with generalized linear models (GLMs). In particular, six variance estimators were studied: Poisson, quasi-Poisson, sandwich-based, ...
-
(2024-07-10)Department: BiostatisticsAnsa cervicalis stimulation (ACS) has been proposed as a treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea. Airflow, CPAP pressure, and ACS stimulation status were measured continuously during drug-induced sleep endoscopy. Data ...
-
(2024-07-15)Department: Earth & Environmental SciencesTraditional speleothem proxies, such as oxygen and carbon isotopes (δ18O, δ13C), and trace element to calcium ratios (i.e., Mg/Ca, Sr/Ca, P/Ca), can respond to multiple climatic and environmental processes, which often ...
-
(2024-07-12)Department: Earth & Environmental SciencesThis study aims to assess and visualize changes in temperature, mean wind speed, and the variability of wind speed, whereby variability is defined as the standard deviation of hourly mean wind speed. The project evaluated ...
