In vitro Release of Eosinophil Proteins in Allergic and Atopic Dermatitis Patients by L. K. Poulsen, C. M. Reimert, C. Bindslev-Jensen

“…The levels of eosinophil cationic protein and eosinophil protein X (ECP, EPX) were determined in serum (clotting time = 2.0 h) and plasma. Serum and plasma ECP in normal donors demonstrated large intra-personal variations (C.V. 50–80%), but serum-ECP (mean 8.1 ng/ml) was clearly distinguishable from plasma ECP (mean 1.0 ng/ml) by a factor of 8 (range: 5.6–11.6). …”

Strong reciprocal dependencies as exceptions when correlations are weak by M. M. Basimov

“…It is built on the basis of a dependence that is far from linear, as shown by Pearson’s coefficient of weak correlation equal to 0.28. At the same time, founded on the rule for interpreting the absolute value of the correlation coefficient for a sample of 120 subjects (widely used in the psychological community), it indicates the significance of the relationship at the p = 0.01 level, which inevitably requires a linear interpretation. …”

The Diagnostic and Predictive Significance of Immune-Related Genes and Immune Characteristics in the Occurrence and Progression of IgA Nephropathy by Jian-Bo Qing, Wen-Zhu Song, Chang-Qun Li, Ya-Feng Li

“…GSE116626 was used as a training set to identify different immune-related genes (DIRGs) and establish machine learning models for the diagnosis of IgAN; then, a nomogram model was generated based on GSE116626, and GSE115857 was used as a test set to evaluate its clinical value. Short Time-Series Expression Miner (STEM) analysis was also performed to explore the changing trend of DIRGs with the progression of IgAN lesions. …”

Three-Dimensional Deformation Prediction Based on the Improved Segmented Knothe–Dynamic Probabilistic Integral–Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar Model by Shuang Wang, Genyuan Liu, Zhihong Song, Keming Yang, Ming Li, Yansi Chen, Minhua Wang

“…The ALOS PALSAR satellite radar image data and ground measurements were acquired, and the ISK-DPIM-InSAR deformation monitoring model with the dynamic probabilistic integral model (DPIM) was proposed by combining the probabilistic integral method (PIM) and the improved segmented Knothe time function (ISK). The ISK-DPIM-InSAR model constructs the inversion equations of InSAR line-of-sight deformation, north–south and east–west horizontal movement deformation, vertical deformation, inverts the optimal values of the predicted parameters of the workforce through the particle swarm algorithm, and substitutes it into the ISK-DPIM-InSAR model for predicting the three-dimensional dynamic deformation of a mining face. …”

EU SCIENCE DIPLOMACY AND FRAMEWORK PROGRAMS AS INSTRUMENTS OF STI COOPERATION by К. А. Ibragimova

“…Therefore, the solution of these issues requires both an expert evaluation from an independent world scientific community, and the perseverance of diplomats and officials of branch ministries of national states capable of conveying the views of their government in international negotiations and defending national interests of the country to find a solution that suits everyone.The EU has the resources to create a "cumulative effect" by developing and applying common norms on the territory of theUnion, analyzing the innovation policies of member states and the possibility of sharing best practices. At the same time, the EU shares its vision of problems, values and priorities with partners and uses the tools of "soft power" (including its smart and normative force) and scientific diplomacy in the field of STI.The soft power of the EU in the field of STI lies in the attractiveness of the EU as a research area in which it is possible to conduct modern high-quality international research with the involvement of scientific teams from different countries in both physical and virtual spaces. …”
