Increasing vulnerability of an endemic Mediterranean-climate conifer to changing climate and fire regime by Frank W. Davis, Anne-Marie Parkinson, Max A. Moritz, Max A. Moritz, Isaac W. Park, Carla M. D’Antonio

“…The climate and fire vulnerability of BDF could be reduced by management actions such as mechanical fuel treatments and post-fire restoration, but these are highly constrained by topography, access, and sensitive wildlife species. Our case study illustrates the rapidly increasing vulnerability of endemic conifer species in MTE forests.…”

The relevance of a multidomain geriatric assessment in older patients with heart failure by Emma E.F. Kleipool, Julia H.I. Wiersinga, Marijke C. Trappenburg, Albert C. vanRossum, Carmen S. vanDam, Su‐San Liem, Mike J.L. Peters, M. Louis Handoko, Majon Muller

“…Conclusions Having limitations in multiple domains appears more strongly associated with short‐term adverse outcomes than HF severity and physical frailty. This may illustrate the potential added value of a multidomain geriatric assessment in the evaluation and treatment of patients with HF with respect to relevant short‐term health outcomes.…”

Exploration of linear and interpretable models for quantification of cell parameters via contactless short-wave infrared hyperspectral sensing by Anjana Hevaganinge, Eva Lowenstein, Anna Filatova, Mihir Modak, Nandi Thales Mogo, Bryana Rowley, Jenny Yarmowsky, Joshua Ehizibolo, Ravidu Hevaganinge, Amy Musser, Abbey Kim, Anthony Neri, Jessica Conway, Yiding Yuan, Maurizio Cattaneo, Sui Seng Tee, Yang Tao

“…This high repetition allows for effective denoising of each spectrum, so interpretable linear models can quantify metabolites. To illustrate, an interpretable linear model called L-SLR is trained using small datasets obtained with a SWIR HSI camera to quantify fructose, viable cell density (VCD), glucose, and lactate. …”

A General Framework for Closed Loop Negative Feedback Multivariable Physiological Control Systems: Existence, Uniqueness, and Stability of Homeostatic Equilibrium Points by Anna Procopio, Annarita Tedesco, Fabrizio Lo Regio, Giuseppe Cesarelli, Leandro Donisi, Carlo Ricciardi, Alessio Merola, Alfonso Maria Ponsiglione, Maria Romano, Francesco Montefusco, Carlo Cosentino, Francesco Amato

“…To this regard, in this paper, the existence, possible uniqueness and stability properties of the homeostatic equilibrium points of the general model are investigated; the theoretical framework is then illustrated through two real-world case-studies: (i) the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway nonlinear dynamics, a critical regulator of cellular growth, proliferation, and survival; (ii) the control mechanism of the neuromuscular stretch reflex, among the prime triggers implicated in postural control. …”

‘Queer Reverence’: Aubrey Beardsley’s Venus and Tannhäuser by Nicole Fluhr

“…During his short career, the writer and artist Aubrey Beardsley, who rose to prominence in the 1890s, cultivated a reputation for mannered excess that helped establish him as one of the aesthetes and decadents whose company he kept and whose works he illustrated. His unfinished novel Venus and Tannhäuser, which Stanley Weintraub calls ‘a triumph of excess,’ exhibits to the full Beardsley’s penchant for shocking readers and mocking aesthetic conventions. …”

New dimension in vortex electro-magnetic wave transmission with orbital angular momentum by Chao ZHANG, Yuanhe WANG

“…Consequence:In order to illustrate the application scope and the outstanding advantages utilized by quantum OAM electromagnetic waves and statistical OAM Beams, this paper classifies the typical OAM transmission systems into four regions based on channel capacity.From the high channel capacity to the low channel capacity, Region A belongs to the quantum OAM transmission system with the new dimension of OAM, using vortex microwave photon to convey information, and the corresponding capacity bound can be enhanced to surpass the traditional multi-antenna MIMO capacity bound;Regions B,C and D belong to the statistical OAM vortex beams,which do not own new dimensions in MIMO transmission but have outstanding performance in the Line-of-Sight (LoS) channel. …”
