Diurnal Characteristics of Ecosystem Respiration of Alpine Meadow on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau: Implications for Carbon Budget Estimation by Yu Qin, Shuhua Yi

“…Usually, daily mean Re is represented by measurement using static chamber on alpine meadow ecosystems from 9:00 to 11:00 h a.m. local time directly. In the present study, however, we found that the calculated daily mean Re from 9:00 to 11:00 h a.m. local time was significantly higher than that from 0:00 to 23:30 h local time in an alpine meadow site, which might be caused by special climate condition on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. …”

The Convergent Validity of the SWAY Balance Application to Assess Postural Stability in Military Cadets Recovering from Concussion by Max K Dummar, Michael S Crowell, Will Pitt, Ai Mei Yu, Paige McHenry, Timothy Benedict, Jamie Morris, Erin M Miller

“…When assessing the relationship between the SWAY and the SOT, no correlation was found at any time point (r = -0.317 to -0.062, p \> 0.05). Time to RTA demonstrated a moderate correlation with both SCAT-5 symptom severity score (r = .693, p \< 0.01) and SCAT-5 total symptom score (r = .611, p \< 0.01) at the one-week follow-up…”

Pre-screening of endomysial microvessel density by fast random forest image processing machine learning algorithm accelerates recognition of a modified vascular network in idiopath... by Alessandro Massaro, Gerardo Cazzato, Giuseppe Ingravallo, Nadia Casatta, Carmelo Lupo, Angelo Vacca, Florenzo Iannone, Francesco Girolamo

“…The FRF technique applied on images of CD31-stained muscle sections achieved a good performance in the recognition of microvessels by estimating their density over a standard area corresponding to a sample of microscope image. The time spent for this analysis was 90% less than the manual choice of microvessels (estimated time considering the computational time and the time spent to manually detecting the microvessels features). …”

The impact of school closures on pandemic influenza:Assessing potential repercussions using a seasonal SIR model by Sherry Towers, Katia Vogt Geisse, Chia-Chun Tsai, Qing Han, Zhilan Feng

“…When a new pandemic influenza strain has been identified, mass-production of vaccines can take several months, andantiviral drugs are expensive and usually in short supply.Social distancing measures, such as school closures, thus seem an attractive means to mitigate disease spread.However, the transmission of influenza is seasonal in nature, and as has been noted in previousstudies,a decrease in the average transmission rate in a seasonal disease modelmay result in a larger final size.In the studies presented here,we analyze a hypothetical pandemic using a SIR epidemic model with time- and age-dependent transmissionrates; using this model weassess and quantify, for the first time, thethe effect of the timing and length of widespread school closures oninfluenza pandemic final size and average peak time.…”
