We establish exponential bounds for the hypergeometric distribution which include a finite sampling correction factor, but are otherwise analogous to bounds for the binomial distribution due to León and Perron ( (2003) 345-354) and Talagrand ( (1994) 28-76). We also extend a convex ordering of Kemperman's ( (1973) 149-164) for sampling without replacement from populations of real numbers between zero and one: a population of all zeros or ones (and hence yielding a hypergeometric distribution in the upper bound) gives the extreme case.

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) are genomic regions that influence essential traits in livestock. Understanding QTL distribution and density across species' genomes is crucial for animal genetics research. This study explored the QTLome of cattle, pigs, sheep, and chickens by analyzing QTL distribution and evaluating the correlation between QTL, gene density, and chromosome size with the aim to identify QTL-enriched genomic regions.

Veterinary surveillance frequently requires study design for freedom-from-disease testing, specifying a sample size to balance higher statistical power with larger sample sizes against increased research and ethics costs, with the recognition that tests can generate false positive and negative results: i.e., tests exhibit imperfect sensitivity and specificity.

The Kullback-Leibler divergence (KL divergence) is a statistical measure that quantifies the difference between two probability distributions. Specifically, it assesses the amount of information that is lost when one distribution is used to approximate another. This concept is crucial in various fields, including information theory, statistics, and machine learning, as it helps in understanding how well a model represents the underlying data.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease, characterized by memory loss, speech and motor defects, personality changes, and psychological disorders. The exact cause of AD remains unclear. Current treatments focus on maintaining neurotransmitter levels or targeting β-amyloid (Aβ) protein, but these only alleviate symptoms and do not reverse the disease.

Specifically, the instantaneous channel state information (CSI) of the main channel and eavesdropper's channel is assumed to be unavailable at the transmitter, which is more practical for the underwater application. The fading of salinity induced oceanic turbulence channels is described by the Weibull distribution considering angular pointing error.
