Transpiration and Water Use Efficiency of Mediterranean <i>Eucalyptus</i> Genotypes Under Contrasting Irrigation Regimes by Juan C. Valverde, Rafael A. Rubilar, Alex Medina, Matías Pincheira, Verónica Emhart, Yosselin Espinoza, Daniel Bozo, Otávio C. Campoe

“…Low irrigation reduced CAI by 5–25% and Tr by 10–35%, while WUE responses varied across genotypes, ranging from a 12% decrease to a 48% increase. Based on their functional responses, genotypes were grouped as follows: (i) stable performers (Es, Ecg, Eb) exhibited high WUE and consistent Tr under both WR; (ii) partially plastic genotypes (EgH, EngH) combined moderate reductions in Tr with improved WUE; and (iii) water-sensitive genotypes (EgL, EngL, En) showed substantial declines in Tr alongside variable WUE gains. …”

Non-parametric calibration estimation of distribution function under stratified random sampling by Abdullah Mohammed Alomair, Weineng Zhu, Usman Shahzad, Fawaz Khaled Alarfaj

“…By leveraging auxiliary information under a stratified random sampling (StRS) framework, the proposed methodology employs multiple calibration constraints with a chi-square distance measure to derive calibrated weights, enhancing estimation efficiency. The estimators incorporate key descriptive measures of auxiliary variable, including the CDF and coefficient of variation, and tackle the challenge of bandwidth selection using advanced techniques such as plug-in selectors and cross-validation approaches. …”
