Characterization of Acoustic Emission Parameters during Fracture Process of Siltstone with Prefabricated Void by Xiaorong Liu, Lulin Zheng, Hengyi He, Qing Qiu, Ziqi Liu, Xuefeng Li, Lin Yan, Gang Huang

“…The research results show that there are multiple stress drops before the deformation and failure of the rock sample with prefabricated drill holes; there is a positive correlation between the diameter of the drill hole and the power law index of the stress drop distribution; the acoustic emission activity of the rock during the deformation and failure process can be indirectly reflected the evolution of microfractures; the energy probability density function under different borehole diameters conforms to the power law distribution; the critical exponent obtained by the maximum likelihood estimation has an optimal plateau value, which can accurately characterize the power exponent of the energy distribution; the launch waiting time and aftershock sequence have a good power-law distribution in logarithmic coordinates. …”

Measurement of SUVs-Maximum for Normal Region Using VOI in PET/MRI and PET/CT by Jeong Kyu Park, Sung Kyu Kim, Ihn Ho Cho, Eun Jung Kong

“…The participants as objects of this investigation are 26 healthy examinees in Korea, SUV (standardized-uptake-value)s-maximum evaluation for whole-body F-18 FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose) PET/MRI image using VOI of normal region has exhibited very significant difference to that for whole-body F-18 FDG PET/CT image (significant probability value (P)<0.0001). However, there appeared high correlation between them in view of statistics (R-square (R)>0.8). …”

Predictors of Sleep Apnea in the Canadian Population by Ina van der Spuy, Gaungming Zhao, Chandima Karunanayake, Punam Pahwa

“…Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that age (45 and older), loud snoring, sudden awakening with gasping/choking (rare/sometimes and once or more a week), and nodding off/falling asleep in driving in the past 12 months were significantly associated with diagnosed sleep apnea. Predictive probability demonstrated that in overweight and obese persons, ≥15 minutes of daily exercise significantly decreased the risk of diagnosed sleep apnea. …”

Pre-operative DNA methylation marks as predictors of weight loss outcomes after sleeve gastrectomy by Guillermo Paz-López, Teresa M. Linares-Pineda, Andrés González-Jiménez, Raquel Sancho-Marín, Luis Ocaña-Wilhelmi, Francisco J. Tinahones, Sonsoles Morcillo, Carolina Gutiérrez-Repiso

“…KEGG enrichment analysis showed that pathways involved in the signalling of MAPK, Wnt, mTor, FoxO and AMPK, among others, were involved in weight loss trajectory.A stepwise logistic regression using the DMPs with an absolute Δβ >0.2 showed that higher methylation levels in the CpG sites cg02405213 (mapping to JAK2) (OR: 1.20098, [0.9586, 1.5044]) and cg01702330 (OR: 2.4426, [0.5761, 10.3567]), were shown to be associated with a higher probability of achieving >60 %EWL after sleeve gastrectomy, whereas higher methylation levels in the CpG site cg04863892 (mapping to HOXA5) were associated with lower probability of achieving >60 %EWL after sleeve gastrectomy (OR: 0.7966, [0.5637, 1.1259]). …”
