Journal Article
Maloney Yorganci, K. T., & McMurtry, L. (in press). “One of Us”: Examining the Authenticity and Parasocial Relationships of Stand-Up Comedian Podcast Hosts. Journal of Radio and Audio Media, https://doi.org/10.1080/19376529.2024.2432023

Previous research has provided limited insight into why podcasts hosts are perceived to be authentic and has not examined how characteristics that are seen as being indicative of authenticity can relate to parasocial relationships (PSRs). In this stu... Read More about “One of Us”: Examining the Authenticity and Parasocial Relationships of Stand-Up Comedian Podcast Hosts.

New 3-parameter survival distributions from Manly’s transform (2025)
Journal Article
Baker, R. (in press). New 3-parameter survival distributions from Manly’s transform. Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, https://doi.org/10.1080/03610926.2024.2440004

Two new 3-parameter distributions that generalize the Weibull distribution are introduced. They fit a range of datasets comparably to the generalized gamma and exponentiated Weibull distributions, allowing increasing hazard, decreasing hazard, and ba...

A review and meta-analysis of the efficacy of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in remediating toxic metals in mine-affected soils (2025)
Journal Article
Banerjee, S., Mandal, J., Sarkar, D., Datta, R., & Bhattacharyya, P. (2025). A review and meta-analysis of the efficacy of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in remediating toxic metals in mine-affected soils. Frontiers in Environmental Science, 12, https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2024.1532169

Mines are natural reservoirs of various minerals, metals, and metalloids. Several heavy metals (HMs), such as Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, and Ni, are major anthropogenic pollutants that cause severe environmental pollution. The accumulation of these toxic HMs in...
