Simulation and Formation Mechanisms of Urban Landscape Design Based on Discrete Dynamic Models Driven by Big Data by Ke Cao, Jing Xiao, Yan Wu

“…In this article, during the research process, we strive to raise the revelation of the design layer rather than the brand new level of cross-fertilization and interaction between big data-driven discrete dynamic model and urban landscape design; we also reveal how the benefits of promoting urban development and harmonious life are achieved in the interactive expression of the urban landscape after the application of the big data-driven discrete dynamic model, which provides designers and related professionals with more detailed and novel design ideas at the theoretical level and makes the theory of big data-driven discrete dynamic models in landscape design interactive methods more enriched. …”

The crosstalk between SND1 and PDCD4 is associated with chemoresistance of non-small cell lung carcinoma cells by Yun Zhao, Shanel Dhani, Vladimir Gogvadze, Boris Zhivotovsky

“…In the NSCLC cells (A549 and H23 cells) with low expression of PDCD4, despite the downregulation of PDCD4, silencing of SND1 still led to sensitization of NSCLC cells to treatment with different chemotherapeutic agents by the inhibition of autophagic activity. Thus, a novel correlation interlinking SND1 and PDCD4 in the regulation of NSCLC cells concerning chemotherapy was revealed, which contributes to understanding the mechanisms of chemoresistance in NSCLC.…”

Pandemic mitigation: Bringing it home by Tom Reichert

“…We summarize here the envelope of mortality attributable to epidemic and pandemic influenza in the last 90 years of the last century as a lead in to a presentation of the multinational case age distribution of the novel H1N1 pandemic of 2009. We discuss the sparing of elderly subpopulations in pandemics and the subsequent abrupt resurgence of mortality in the spared age groups as drift variants emerge. …”
