The PC algorithm learns maximally oriented causal Bayesian networks. However, there is no equivalent complete algorithm for learning the structure of relational models, a more expressive generalization of Bayesian networks. Recent developments in the theory and representation of relational models support lifted reasoning about conditional independence. This enables a powerful constraint for ori...

We prove that the sharp Buser's inequality obtained in framework of $\mathsf{RCD}(1,\infty)$ spaces by first two authors is rigid, i.e. equality if and only space splits isomorphically a Gaussian. The result new even smooth setting. also show Cheeger's never attained setting $\mathsf{RCD}(K,\infty)$ with finite diameter or positive curvature, we provide several examples Ricci curvature bounded ...

Abstract Pinus edulis Engelm. is a short-stature, drought-tolerant tree species that abundant in piñon-juniper woodlands throughout semiarid ecosystems of the American Southwest. P. model among ecophysiological disciplines, with considerable research focus given to hydraulic functioning and carbon partitioning relating mechanisms mortality. Many ecological studies require robust estimates struc...

BACKGROUND On July 1(st) 2013 the Mandatory Reporting Code Act came into force in the Netherlands, making it compulsory for health professionals to adhere to a reporting code when they suspect patients to be victims of domestic violence (DV) or child abuse (CA). The Royal Dutch Dental Association (KNMT) developed a reporting code for dental professionals (RCD). Moreover, an e-learning module ab...

BACKGROUND Malaria burden in Brazil has reached its lowest levels in 35 years and Plasmodium vivax now accounts for 84% of cases countrywide. Targeting residual malaria transmission entrenched in the Amazon is the next major challenge for ongoing elimination efforts. Better strategies are urgently needed to address the vast reservoir of asymptomatic P. vivax carriers in this and other areas app...

Reinforcement contact zones, which are secondary contact zones where species are diverging in reproductive behaviors due to selection against hybridization, represent natural laboratories for studying speciation-in-action. Here, we examined replicate localities across the entire reinforcement contact zone between North American chorus frogs Pseudacris feriarum and P. nigrita to investigate geog...

A utilização de resíduos construção e demolição (RCD) como matéria-prima para a fabricação outrosmateriais, modo minimizar os impactos causados devido à sua deposição, tem sido uma alternativasustentável dentro do setor da civil. Nesse sentido, este estudo teve objetivo verificar aviabilidade uso blocos concreto fabricados com incorporação RCD, em substituição total aosagregados naturais, fins ...

Achieving common prosperity is the essential requirement of socialism and promoting regional coordinated development (RCD) an important path to achieving prosperity. This study uses data from Zhejiang Province 2011 2020, a demonstration zone prosperity, construct evaluation model RCD, assess level degree, then analyze differences spatial correlation pattern RCD. The following results were obtai...

BACKGROUND Reported urban malaria cases are increasing in Latin America, however, evidence of such trend remains insufficient. Here, we propose an integrated approach that allows characterizing malaria transmission at the rural-to-urban interface by combining epidemiological, entomological, and parasite genotyping methods. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A descriptive study that combines active (A...

BACKGROUND Patients with persistent symptoms and/or villous atrophy despite strict adherence to a gluten-free diet (GFD) have non-responsive celiac disease (NRCD). A subset of these patients has refractory celiac disease (RCD), yet some NRCD patients may simply be reacting to gluten cross-contamination. Here we describe the effects of a 3-6 month diet of whole, unprocessed foods, termed the Glu...
