Quantifying observer variance in expansive monitoring program indicator data with heterogeneous-variance mixed-effects models by Leah T. Dreesmann, Timothy R. Johnson, Jason W. Karl

“…In two example analyses, we identified differences in observer variance across regions and years and associated the differences in these examples with features of the AIM monitoring program. These examples illustrate several potential uses of the models which include calculating the magnitude of observer variance to guide indicator selection and appropriate indicator estimate calculations, determining appropriate data aggregation and comparison, understanding the influences of changes to a monitoring program on observer variance, identifying previously unknown influences on observer variance, and suggesting practices or further changes to monitoring programs to reduce observer variance in future data collection efforts. …”

Estimating the contribution of Arctic sea-ice loss to central Asia temperature anomalies: the case of winter 2020/2021 by Lara R Cosford, Rohit Ghosh, Marlene Kretschmer, Clare Oatley, Theodore G Shepherd

“…Hence rather than debating a cooling trend in Central Asia during winter, we propose shifting the focus to the influence of Arctic Amplification on anticipated warming trends. This study illustrates the efficacy of causal network analysis, which has implications for seasonal prediction and attribution of midlatitude winter anomalies.…”

TEAD1‐Mediated Trans‐Differentiation of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells into Fibroblast‐Like Cells Contributes to the Stabilization and Repair of Disrupted Atherosclerotic Plaques... by Ming Zhai, Zhijun Lei, Yefei Shi, Jiayun Shi, Yanxi Zeng, Shiyu Gong, Weixia Jian, Jianhui Zhuang, Qing Yu, Mark W. Feinberg, Wenhui Peng

“…Mechanistically, it is found that TEAD1 promoted the expression of fibroblast markers through the Wnt4/β‐Catenin pathway, facilitating the trans‐differentiation. Thus, this study illustrated that TEAD1 played a critical role in promoting the trans‐differentiation of VSMCs into fibroblast‐like cells and subsequent extracellular matrix production through the Wnt4/β‐Catenin pathway. …”

Dynamic Reliability Design of Multicomponent Structure with Improved Weighted Regression Distributed Collaborative Surrogate Model Method by Xiao-Wei Dong, Wei-Kai Li, Chun-Yan Zhu, Chang-Hai Chen, Cheng Lu, Shu-Juan Yi

“…Finally, the radial deformation dynamic probabilistic analysis of an aeroengine turbine blisk assembled by blade and disk is accomplished, in respect of the IWRDCSMM, fluid-thermal-structure interaction, and the randomness of input parameters within the time domain [0, T]. The results illustrate that the reliability degree of turbine blisk radial deformation is 0.9951 when the allowable value uallow is 2.30 × 10−3 m, and all the input parameters affecting the turbine blisk radial deformation are gas temperature, angular speed, inlet velocity, outlet pressure, material density, and inlet pressure, successively. …”

Sudeten: Erinnerung reinterpretiert by Jan Pacholski

“…Through them, the processes of appropriating and taming these “post­German” mountains in the period of 1945–1989 were illustrated. The second part of the article points out the manifestations of rediscovery, processing, and assimilation of the German past of these lands that ap­ peared after 1989, and more strongly after the disastrous flood of the millennium in 1997.…”
