Relationship of scrotal circumference and testicular volume to age and body weight in the swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) by Bongso, T.A., Hassan, M.D., Nordin, W.

“…Ages and body weight (BW) were recorded for each male at the time of measurement to find out if they correlated with SC and TV. SC and TV increased linearly and correlated significantly with age and BW (SC vs age: r = 0.74, p<0.01; SC vs BW: r = 0.88, p<0.01; TV vs BW: r = 0.82, p<0.01). …”

Partnership Ties Shape Friendship Networks: A Dynamic Social Network Study by Stadtfeld, Christoph, Pentland, Alex

“…In our study, we follow dynamic friendship formation among 126 individuals and their cohabiting partners in a university-related graduate housing community over a period of nine months (N = 2,250 self-reported friendship relations). We find that partnership ties strongly shape the dynamic process of friendship formation. …”

Two Paths: Why States Join or Avoid China’s Belt and Road Initiative by Atkins, Eleanor, Fravel, M Taylor, Wang, Raymond, Ackert, Nick, Huang, Sihao

“…Thus, we argue that most states should join the BRI unless they view the costs of participation as higher. We hypothesize, and find support for, the argument that democracies are less likely to join because they view participating in a Chinese-led initiative as more costly than non-democracies. …”

Can Plants Perceive Human Gestures? Using AI to Track Eurythmic Human–Plant Interaction by Gil, Alvaro Francisco, Weinbeer, Moritz, Gloor, Peter A.

“…Using machine learning, we found that the voltage differentials over time of the plant predict if (a) eurythmy has been performed, and (b) which kind of eurythmy gestures has been performed. We also find that the signals are different based on the species of the plant. …”

To What Extent Do Alternative Energy Sources Displace Coal and Oil in Electricity Generation? A Mean-Group Panel Analysis by Liddle, Brantley

“…As such, our approach avoids/addresses several statistical issues common in long-macro panel analyses—heterogeneity, nonstationarity, and cross-sectional dependence—that have largely been ignored/unaddressed in previous displacement studies. Ultimately, we find that the displacement effect is small and only marginally significant for nuclear, and is significant though less than unity for natural gas and hydro, whereas intermittent renewables (solar and wind) have unitary displacement effect. …”

Signatures of wave erosion in Titan’s coasts by Palermo, Rose V, Ashton, Andrew D, Soderblom, Jason M, Birch, Samuel PD, Hayes, Alexander G, Perron, J Taylor

“…Applying this framework to Titan, we find that the shorelines of Titan’s seas are most consistent with flooded landscapes that subsequently have been eroded by waves, rather than a uniform erosional process or no coastal erosion, particularly if wave growth saturates at fetch lengths of tens of kilometers.…”
