Tooth replacement of the filter-feeding pterosaur Forfexopterus and its implications for ecological adaptation by CHANG-FU ZHOU, FENGMIN FAN

“…Here, we describe the tooth replacement of the pterosaur Forfexopterus from the Jehol Biota based on high-resolution X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) reconstruction. As in the ornithocheirid Coloborhynchus, the tooth germs are relatively medially positioned along the middle line; the replacement teeth erupt at the posteromedial side of the functional tooth; no more than one replacement tooth present in each alveolus. …”

Accurate identification of oxygen desaturation status in COPD by using classifier ensemble. by Yue-Fang Wu, Xin Shu, Shiqi Wang, Xiaojun Xu, Pei-Li Sun

“…In the proposed method, five different features of each data point from the time series of SpO2 and pulse are extracted and then combined to form the discriminative feature of the corresponding data point; then, multiple base classifiers with different balanced training subsets are trained and then integrated by using AdaBoost Algorithm. The comparative computational results on the 6-min walk test (6MWT) of the recruited participants show that the proposed method achieved the best global performance with AUC (Area Under Curve) value of 0.8532, indicating that the proposed method can be effectively used for the identification of EIOD and could assist the clinic diagnosis of COPD.…”
