Effective First-Break Picking of Seismic Data Using Geometric Learning Methods by Zhongyang Wen, Jinwen Ma

“…Specifically, in the case of unsupervised learning, we design an effective curve evolving algorithm according to the active contour(AC) image segmentation model, in which the length of the target curve and the fitting region energy are minimized together. It is interpretable, and its effectiveness and robustness are demonstrated by the experiments on real world seismic data. …”

Zinc Chloride Smoke Inhalation Induced Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: First Survival in the United States with Extended Duration (Five Weeks) Therapy with High Dose Co... by Hafiz Mahboob, Robert Richeson III, Robert McCain

“…We suggest that an extended course of high dose corticosteroids should be considered for the treatment of smoke inhalation related ARDS and should be introduced as early as possible to minimize the morbidity and mortality. We further suggest that patients with smoke inhalation should be observed in the hospital for at least 48 to 72 hours before discharge, as ARDS can have a delayed onset. …”

Thyroid-Induced Worsening of Parkinsonian Tremor Resistant to Drugs and Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation by Michal Minár, Peter Valkovič

“…There was a slight improvement for 1 month after repeated adjustments of DBS parameters, but then the tremor worsened again. Since even a minimal increase of the dose of dopaminergic drugs caused extremely severe dyskinesias, an anticholinergic drug biperiden and benzodiazepine clonazepam were introduced, what helped for another month. …”

Climate-optimized flight planning can effectively reduce the environmental footprint of aviation in Europe at low operational costs by Abolfazl Simorgh, Manuel Soler

“…., rerouting only under conditions where large climate benefits are achievable, effectively mitigates climate impact while maintaining operational feasibility through minimal changes to standard operations. Overall, for a subset of European flights, a reduction in climate impacts of 12.5% and 21.3% is achievable with an increase in operational costs of 0.2% and 2.0%, respectively. …”
