Towards global elimination of lymphatic filariasis: a systematic review of the application of spatial epidemiological methods to enhance surveillance and support elimination progra... by Angela Cadavid Restrepo, Colleen L Lau, Beatris Mario Martin, Helen J Mayfield

“…The most frequent model outputs were prevalence maps (17 studies, 27.9%), followed by risk maps based on environmental suitability (7 studies, 11.5%) and maps of the odds of seroprevalence being above a predetermined threshold (7 studies, 11.5%).Interpretation By demonstrating the applicability of spatial methods for investigating transmission drivers, identifying clusters and predicting hotspots, we highlight innovative ways in which spatial epidemiology has provided valuable evidence to support LF elimination. …”

Hyperlactatemia and the Outcome of Type 2 Diabetic Patients Suffering Acute Myocardial Infarction by Jovanovic Aleksandar, Peric Vladan, Snezana Markovic-Jovanovic, Radojica Stolic, Jadranka Mitic, Tanja Smilic

“…While some authors proposed cutoff values ranging from 0.76 to 4 mmol/L, others argued that only occurrence of lactic acidosis may be truly predictive of lethal outcome. Conclusion. Both defective glucose metabolism and low tissue oxygenation may contribute to the lactate production in diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction; high lactate levels indicate increased risk for poor outcome in this population comparing to nondiabetic patients. …”

Partitioning the phenotypic and genetic variances of reaction norms by de Villemereuil, Pierre, Chevin, Luis-Miguel

“…We start by distinguishing the components of phenotypic variance arising from the average reaction norm across genotypes, genetic variation in reaction norms (with additive and non-additive components), and a residual that cannot be predicted from the genotype and the environment. We then further partition the genetic variance of the trait (additive or not) into an environment-blind component and a component arising from genetic variance in plasticity. …”

Link Scheduling in Satellite Networks via Machine Learning Over Riemannian Manifolds by Joarder Jafor Sadique, Imtiaz Nasim, Ahmed S. Ibrahim

“…We introduce two machine learning (ML)-based link scheduling techniques that model the dynamic evolution of satellite positions and link conditions over time and space. To accurately predict satellite link states, we present a recurrent neural network (RNN) over Riemannian manifolds, which captures spatio-temporal characteristics over time. …”

Data-Driven Synchronization Analysis of a Bouncing Crowd by Jun Chen, Huan Tan, Katrien Van Nimmen, Peter Van den Broeck

“…Vibration serviceability problems concerning lightweight, flexible long-span floors and cantilever structures such as grandstands generally arise from crowd-induced loading, in particular due to bouncing or jumping activities. Predicting the dynamic responses of these structures induced by bouncing and jumping crowds has therefore become a critical aspect of vibration serviceability design. …”
