We introduce an L 2-type test for testing mutual independence and banded dependence
structure for high dimensional data. The test is constructed on the basis of the pairwise …

Methamphetamine (METH) is a concerning drug of abuse that produces strong
psychostimulant effects. The use of this substance, along with the insufficient removal in the …

We reinvestigate the delayed overshooting puzzle. Using a method of sign restrictions, we
find that delayed overshooting is primarily a phenomenon of the 1980s when the Fed was …

Parasitization by the larvae (glochidia) of freshwater mussels can cause harm to a fish's gills,
resulting in less effective respiration and/or reduced activity by the host fish. The impact of …

Parasitic species can affect host behaviour in various ways. Freshwater mussels of the
superfamily U nionoidea have a glochidia larva that is parasitic on fish. Our aim was to …

Tramadol is a widely used analgesic with additional antidepressant and anxiolytic effects.
This compound has been reported in continental waters reaching concentrations of µg/L as …

Domestication is a process in which animals are bred in captivity under controlled resource
availability. Compared with wild-type phenotypes, animals with domesticated phenotypes …

Parasites alter their host behaviour and vice versa as a result of mutual adaptations in the
evolutionary arms race. One of these adaptations involves changes in host …

In this paper, we address the problem of testing independence between two high-
dimensional random vectors. Our approach involves a series of max-sum tests based on …

Farmed fish released in a native environment can display different spawning behaviour
compared to their wild conspecifics. In our study, farmed and wild burbot, a species recently …
