The goal of the present study is to assess the soil quality in Bulgaria using (i) an appropriate set of soil quality indicators, namely primary nutrients (C, N, P), acidity (pH), physical clay content and potentially toxic elements (PTEs: Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Ni, Cr, As, Hg) and (ii) respective data mining and modeling using chemometrical and geostatist...

Dominant/submissive role-play (D/s) is associated with specialized roles including Mistress, Master, Slave, Switch, Sadist, and Masochist. The current study uses cluster analysis to provide empirical evidence that no binary opposition or single spectrum constitutes a workable typology of individuals based on their affinities for these roles. The op...

Microbial chain elongation has emerged as a valuable bioprocess for obtaining marketable products, such as medium chain fatty acids usable in several industrial applications, from organic waste. The understanding of the microbiology and microbial ecology in these systems is crucial to apply these microbiomes in reliable production processes control...

Despite the popularity of discriminant analysis of principal components (DAPC) for studying population structure, there has been little discussion of best practice for this method. In this work, I provide guidelines for standardizing the application of DAPC to genotype data sets. An often overlooked fact is that DAPC generates a model describing ge...
La ecología estudia las relaciones entre los seres vivos, ambiente, distribución, abundancia, y cómo esas propiedades son afectadas por la interacción entre los organismos y el medio ambiente en el que viven (hábitat), así como la influencia que cada uno de los seres vivos tiene sobre el medio ambiente. Los métodos estadísticos son fundamentales pa...
Coastal flooding is a growing concern. Compound coastal flooding considers the joint impacts of marine and hydrologic events characterized by multiple flooding pathways (i.e., high offshore water levels, streamflow, energetic waves, precipitation) acting concurrently. Flood risks are commonly assessed using numerical models or statistical methods. ...

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a developmental condition characterized by social and communication differences. Recent research suggests ASD affects 1-in-44 children in the United States. ASD is diagnosed more commonly in males, though it is unclear whether this diagnostic disparity is a result of a biological predisposition or limitations in di...

This study seeks to develop quantified methods for the description of conceptual metaphors. The study examines the target concept of boredom in contemporary English and Russian. It aims to not only identify which metaphors are used in the two languages, but also how they are used. Using the qualitative-quantitative approach of ‘behavioural profiles...

Chronic pain is a major and complex health condition associated with reduced work performance. A multimodal rehabilitation programme (MMRP) is a common intervention for chronic pain conditions, the goal being for the person to maintain or return to work. To investigate the multivariate relationships between health-related quality of life, life inte...

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS) are indispensable analytical tools to provide chemical fingerprints in metabolomics studies. The present study evaluated radiation breeding wheat lines for chemical changes by non-targeted NMR-based metabolomics analysis of bran extracts. Multivariate analysis following spectr...
