Prognostic Value of Inflammatory and Nutritional Indicators in Non-Metastatic Soft Tissue Sarcomas by Yan Y, Zhang Y, Chen Y, Zhong G, Huang W, Zhang Y

“…Further analysis showed that SIRI and AGR have a high C-index, LR_χ 2, and − 2 log-likelihood, lower AIC and BIC, indicating a better model fit for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). The combination index of the SIRI+AGR+Enneking stage achieved the best accuracy (C-index: 0.751 for DFS; C-index: 0.755 for OS). …”

Aqueous foams in microgravity, measuring bubble sizes by Pasquet, Marina, Galvani, Nicolo, Pitois, Olivier, Cohen-Addad, Sylvie, Höhler, Reinhard, Chieco, Anthony T., Dillavou, Sam, Hanlan, Jesse M., Durian, Douglas J., Rio, Emmanuelle, Salonen, Anniina, Langevin, Dominique

“…DTS only allows the determination of an average bubble radius which is proportional to the photon transport mean free path $\ell ^*$. The relation between the measured diffuse transmitted light intensity and $\ell ^*$ previously derived for slab-shaped samples of infinite lateral extent does not apply to the cuboid geometry of the cells used in the microgravity experiment. …”
