Granular analysis of pathways to care and durations of untreated psychosis: A marginal delay model. by Walter S Mathis, Maria Ferrara, Shadie Burke, Emily Hyun, Fangyong Li, Bin Zhou, John Cahill, Emily R Kline, Matcheri S Keshavan, Vinod H Srihari

“…Marginal-delay, or the portion of overall delay attributable to a specific node, was computed as the number of days between the start dates of contiguous nodes on the PTC. Sources of delay within the network of care were quantified and patient characteristic (sex, age, race, income, insurance, living, education, employment, and function) influences on such delays were analyzed via bivariate and mixed model testing.…”

New Rotation Periods from the Kepler Bonus Background Light Curves by Zachary R. Claytor, Jamie Tayar

“…However, due to Kepler’s large 4″ pixels, many of its light curves are at high risk of contamination from background sources. The new Kepler Bonus Background light curves are deblended using a point-spread function algorithm, providing light curves of over 400,000 new background sources in addition to over 200,000 reanalyzed Kepler prime targets. …”

A Systematic Search for Candidate Supermassive Black Hole Binaries Using Periodic Mid-infrared Light Curves of Active Galactic Nuclei by Di Luo, Ning Jiang, Xin Liu

“…Analyzing a parent sample of 48,932 objects selected from about half a million AGNs, we have identified 28 candidate periodic AGNs with periods ranging from 1268 to 2437 days (in the observer frame), by fitting their WISE light curves with sinusoidal functions. However, our mock simulation of the parent sample indicates that stochastic variability can actually produce a similar number of periodic sources, underscoring the difficulty in robustly identifying real periodic signals with WISE light curves, given their current sampling. …”

Multimodal learning for enhanced SPECT/CT imaging in sports injury diagnosis by Zhengzheng Jiang, YaWen Shen

“…IntroductionSingle-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging plays a critical role in sports injury diagnosis by offering both anatomical and functional insights. However, traditional SPECT/CT techniques often suffer from poor image quality, low spatial resolution, and limited capacity for integrating multiple data sources, which can hinder accurate diagnosis and intervention.MethodsTo address these limitations, this study proposes a novel multimodal learning framework that enhances SPECT/CT imaging through biomechanical data integration and deep learning. …”
