Multimodal Autism Spectrum Disorder Method Using GCN With Dual Transformers by Tianming Song, Zhe Ren, Jian Zhang, Yawei Qu, Yingying Cui, Zhengda Liang

“…Co-training is introduced to simultaneously harness both functional magnetic resonance imaging and structural magnetic resonance imaging data, improving the model’s capacity to generalize across different datasets. This comprehensive method was rigorously evaluated using the ABIDE-I and ABIDE-II datasets, with performance assessed through nested ten-fold cross-validation and leave-one-out cross-validation. …”

Characterizing the impacts of seismic lines on the water budget of a Boreal Watershed in Alberta (Western Canada) by Daniels Kononovs, Christine Rivard, Dani Degenhardt, Katherine N. Snihur, Daniela Gutierrez-Rueda, Cody N. Lazowski, Kelly J. Rozanitis, Baptiste Coutret, Kurt O. Konhauser, Daniel S. Alessi

“…Seismic lines are one of the major footprints of the petroleum industry: they form cleared linear corridors in forests and their regeneration is generally poor. For this study, field measurements of soil, vegetation, water and snow were conducted on 5 paired (seismic line and adjacent undisturbed area) sites located in lowland and upland ecosites, and a 1-D physically based hydrologic model, the Simultaneous Heat and Water Model (SHAW), was used to investigate the impacts of seismic lines on the water budget over a year. …”

Phantom-based investigation of block sequential regularised expectation maximisation (BSREM) reconstruction for zirconium-89 PET-CT for varied count levels by Lara M. Bonney, Matthew D. Walker, Daniel R. McGowan

“…The effect of varying beta on several measures of image quality was characterised for the case of a phantom, with the results indicating that the value of beta for optimal Zr-89 quantitation is lower than what is generally used for optimal visualisation. This work demonstrates the need for careful attention to the reconstruction methods used for quantitative imaging studies, such as those required for theragnostic imaging.…”
