Cerebral Phaeohyphomycosis in a Patient with Neurosarcoidosis on Chronic Steroid Therapy Secondary to Recreational Marijuana Usage by Preetam Gongidi, Debkumar Sarkar, Eric Behling, Joshua Brody

“…We present a patient with a history of heavy marijuana smoking while being on chronic steroid therapy for treatment of neurosarcoidosis who was found to have multiple brain abscesses from Curvularia sp. This is a ubiquitous soil-dwelling dematiaceous fungus that is generally thought to affect solely plants, but there is increasing evidence in the literature of it affecting humans and animals. …”

Combined coding of bit planes of images by B. J.S. Sadiq, V. Yu. Tsviatkou, M. N. Bobov

“…Known effective compression encoders separately encode the bit planes of the image or transform coefficients, which leads to an increase in computational complexity due to multiple processing of each pixel. The paper proposes the rules for combined coding and combined encoders for bit planes of pixel differences of images with a tunable and constant structure, which have lower computational complexity and the same compression ratio as compared to an arithmetic encoder of bit planes.…”

Initiation of hydrogen induced cracks at secondary phase particles by A. Laureys, M. Pinson, L. Claeys, T. De Seranno, T. Depover, K. Verbeken

“…The goal of this work is to propose a general mechanism for hydrogen induced crack initiation in steels based on a microstructural study of multiple steel grades. Four types of steels with strongly varying microstructures are studied for this purpose, i.e. ultra low carbon (ULC) steel, TRIP (transformation induced plasticity) steel, Fe-C-Ti generic alloy, and pressure vessel steel. …”
