Generating random variables from a specific distribution, whether symmetric or asymmetric, is a concern of investigators involved in Monte Carlo studies. Of particular interest to those concerned with robustness is the generation of contaminated symmetric distributions such as those used in the Princeton Robustness Study. A reliable composite uniform U(0,1) generator is described and algorithms for transforming U(0,1) to symmetric long-tailed and contaminated symmetric distributions are given. Goodness-of-fit tests and graphical illustrations demonstrate the adequacy of the empirical distributions.

RENAL FUNCTION PARAMETERS OF HEALTHY CAPTIVE AND SEMICAPTIVE AMAZONIAN MANATEES ().

Evaluating renal function is essential for managing captive wild animals, particularly threatened species like the Amazonian manatee () in rehabilitation and prerelease programs. A series of urine diagnostic tests, such as gross appearance, semiquantitative chemical analyses, microscopic review of sediments, and quantitative analyses of urea and creatinine, were performed in 57 free-catch urine samples. On the same occasion, 52 serum samples from the same individuals were analyzed for creatine kinase activity, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, albumin, sodium, potassium, and chloride concentrations; serum symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) was measured for the first time in the species.

Article Synopsis
- Ultrafast (UF) sintering is a novel technique for creating LiLaZrO (LLZO) solid-state electrolytes, crucial for the development of solid-state batteries.
- This study investigates the surface chemistry of UF-sintered LLZO and finds significant contamination, particularly from LiO, which affects electrochemical performance.
- An additional heat treatment at 900 °C post-UF sintering effectively reduces this contamination, leading to better performance in Li/LLZO/Li symmetric cells.

Oil spillage is one of the serious problems for sustainable environment. Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), a hydrophilic and highly porous material holds a promising material for oil-water separation from contaminants. In the present work, a hydrophilic BNC produced from a sorbitol as the carbon source demonstrated the unique porous symmetrical arrangement having an oleophilic property.

Background: Recently, there has been a growing interest in combining causal inference with machine learning algorithms. Double machine learning model (DML), as an implementation of this combination, has received widespread attention for their expertise in estimating causal effects within high-dimensional complex data. However, the DML model is sensitive to the presence of outliers and heavy-tailed noise in the outcome variable.
