Diffusion Maps Clustering for Magnetic Resonance Q-Ball Imaging Segmentation by Demian Wassermann, Maxime Descoteaux, Rachid Deriche

“…In particular, our ODF diffusion maps requires a smaller number of hypothesis from the input data, reduces the number of artifacts in the segmentation, and automatically exhibits the number of clusters segmenting the Q-Ball image by using an adaptive scale-space parameter. We also show that our ODF diffusion maps clustering can reproduce published results using the diffusion tensor (DT) clustering with N-Cuts on simple synthetic images without crossings. …”

Exercise-Induced Adaptations to the Mouse Striatal Adenosine System by Ella E. Bauer, Trevor J. Buhr, Carter H. Reed, Peter J. Clark

“…In addition, equilibrative nucleoside transporter 1 (ENT1) protein expression was examined after wheel running, as ENT1 regulates the bidirectional flux of adenosine between intra- and extracellular space. The results suggest that eight weeks of running wheel access spared age-related increases of A1R and A2AR protein concentrations across the dorsal and ventral striatal structures. …”

Long period fiber gratings in anti-resonant hollow core fiber by Ligang Huang, Yanxiang Zhao, Yujia Li, Shunli Liu, Hailin Zhou, Lei Gao, Leilei Shi, Guiyao Zhou, Tao Zhu

“…Benefiting from the low thermal sensitivity and radiation resistance characteristic of AR-HCFs, this grating can be utilized in extreme environments, particularly in the high-radiation environment, such as nuclear power plants and space shuttles. Additionally, due to the characteristics of AR-HCFs, including low latency, low dispersion, low nonlinearity, and high damage threshold, this device also serves for long-distance fiber communication and high-power laser pulse shaping.…”

Analysis of Water Surface Ratio Evolution in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Based on Landsat by JIANG Xintong, LIAO Xiaolong, QUAN Xujian, XUE Jiao, ZHONG Yixuan, YU Baishun

“…An appropriate urban water surface ratio plays a vital role in improving the ecological quality of urban areas and the quality of urban living space.By RS and GIS technology,the research takes the free and open source optical remote sensing data,Landsat images,as the data source and uses the normalized difference water index (NDWI) and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to construct an automatic water body discrimination model.In this way,we can analyze the evolution of the water surface ratio in the core cities of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Greater Bay Area) in the past two decades.The result analysis reveals that in the past 20 years,the water area of the Greater Bay Area has been decreased by 136 km²,and the water surface ratio is reduced from 4.48% to 4.22%.Among the cities in the Greater Bay Area,the city with the largest reduction in the water area is Jiangmen,with a decline of 44.20 km²,and its water surface ratio falls from 6.10% to 5.62%.Foshan follows Jiangmen,with a water area decrease of 32.34 km²,and its water surface ratio drops from 13.17% to 12.32%.The water area in Macao,Hong Kong,Huizhou,and Zhaoqing demonstrates a fall of not more than 10 km²,and that in Guangzhou and Shenzhen is reduced by not more than 20 km².By the transition matrix analysis of land use types in the Greater Bay Area,we can uncover the main reason for the decline in water area—that is,the increase in construction land invading the original water area.The result of this paper can provide theoretical and methodological support for the rational use of water resources and the construction of water ecology in the cities of the Greater Bay Area.Meanwhile,it can offer an important reference for promoting the construction of ecological civilization and strengthening environmental protection in the Greater Bay Area.…”

A method for diagnosing the implosion symmetry in inertial confinement fusion with wide-angle VISAR by Wu Yuji, Guan Zanyang, Zhang Qing, Jing Longfei, Ren Kuan, Liang Juxi, Chen Xudan, Li Yulong, Wang Feng

“…The method considers the object-image relationship of the wide-angle VISAR, characteristics of the fringe pattern, and the symmetry theory; the fringe pattern must be continuous in space to apply this method. Hydrodynamic calculations showed that the radiation-temperature distribution on the surface of capsule was spatially continuous, indirectly proving the applicability of the method. …”

Ineffectiveness of phosphorus binding treatments in a semi-enclosed area of a large, shallow, and hypereutrophic lake by Joseph L. Davidson, Stephen J. Jacquemin, Silvia E. Newell, John C. Hughes, Lindsay D. Starr, Mark J. McCarthy

“…Over two summers (2020 and 2021), two phosphorus (P) binding agents (alum and lanthanum/bentonite clay Phoslock, respectively), in conjunction with a P-binding algaecide (SeClear) in 2021, were applied to a 3.24-ha enclosure to mitigate cHAB activity and create a ‘safe’ recreational space for the public. We evaluated these applications by comparing total phosphorus (TP), total microcystin, total chlorophyll, and phycocyanin concentrations within the enclosure and the adjacent lake. …”

Passages de frontières et référence surréaliste dans Cette chère humanité by Cédric Chauvin

“…Or là où pour un Ballard, en 1962-1963, l’exploration de l’inner space devait faire contrepoids à l’immaturité des récits de conquête spatiale, chez Curval la référence surréaliste et la mise en scène de l’exploration de l’inconscient se trouvent au contraire associées au topos science-fictionnel d’un franchissement de la frontière spatiale, pour permettre ensemble la libération d’une société étouffée.…”
