Gaussian mixtures closest to a given measure via optimal transport by Lasserre, Jean B.

“…Next (ii) by using a well-known specific property of Gaussian measures, this optimal transport is then viewed as a Generalized Moment Problem (GMP) and if the set $S$ of mixture parameters $(\mathbf{m},\mathbf{\Sigma })$ is a basic compact semi-algebraic set, we provide a “mesh-free” numerical scheme to approximate as closely as desired the optimal distance by solving a hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations of increasing size. …”

Runoff Simulation Study of Ganjiang River Basin Based on Distributed Time-varying Gain Hydrological Model and CN05.1 Precipitation Data by ZHONG Qi, FU Xiaolei, JIANG Xiaolei, ZHANG Yuchen, HU Leyi, ZHANG Liping

“…Additionally,the paper evaluates the applicability of the distributed time-variant gain hydrological model (DTVGM) and CN05.1 precipitation data in simulating runoff in the Ganjiang River Basin.The results show that:① CN05.1 precipitation and station interpolated precipitation exhibit similar variation patterns over multiple years,with a high spatial distribution correlation and a mean correlation coefficient (R) of 0.90.The correlation between CN05.1 daily precipitation and interpolated daily precipitation is also high,with a root mean square error (RMSE) of less than or equal to 7.52 mm and an R value greater than or equal to 0.81.② Using CN05.1 precipitation and station interpolated precipitation data,the flow of six hydrological stations,including Xintian,in the Ganjiang River Basin is simulated from 1961 to 2009.The simulated flow generally exceeds the measured flow during high flow periods,indicating that the model overestimates the simulation of large flows.③ The accuracy of runoff simulation based on CN05.1 precipitation is high, whether for daily or monthly runoff, with better performance in simulating monthly runoff compared to daily runoff.Therefore,the DTVGM model and CN05.1 precipitation data are highly applicable for runoff simulation in the Ganjiang River Basin.…”

Dramatic Intracerebral Hemorrhagic Presentations of Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome: Three Cases and a Literature Review by Joel M. Stary, Bonnie H. Wang, Seong-Jin Moon, Huan Wang

“…Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) refers to a number of disorders characterized by severe and sudden-onset (“thunderclap”) headaches and angiographic features of reversible, segmental, multifocal vasoconstriction of cerebral arteries. Although RCVS generally resolves without significant sequelae, a rare and possibly underrecognized hemorrhagic presentation has a worse potential course. …”
