Structural Similarity-Guided Siamese U-Net Model for Detecting Changes in Snow Water Equivalent by Karim Malik, Colin Robertson

“…Aggregating snow measurements, however, can magnify the modifiable aerial unit problem, resulting in differing snow trends at different temporal resolutions. Time series analysis of gridded SWE data holds the potential to unravel the impacts of climate change and global warming on daily, weekly, and monthly changes in snow during the winter season. …”

A Proactive GIS Geo-Database for Castles Damaged by the 2012 Emilia Earthquake by Elena Zanazzi

“…The designed geo-database allows for the identification of possible correlations between constructive features and the occurrence of damage, through statistical and geo-referenced analysis. Moreover, the designed geodatabase, by enabling the comparison of the damage level data with the seismic action of the site, through INGV (National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology) shakemaps, allowed the definition of experimental fragility curves, for three of the most common damage mechanisms. …”

Aging amplifies sex differences in low alpha and low beta EEG oscillations by Chuanliang Han, Vincent C.K. Cheung, Rosa H.M. Chan

“…Despite decades of research, studies investigating sex-based variations in electroencephalographic (EEG) signals have yielded inconsistent findings that obstructs what may be a potentially crucial source of inter-individual variability in brain function. To address this, we analyzed five publicly available resting-state datasets, comprising EEG data (n = 445) and iEEG data (n = 103). …”

An intact S-layer is advantageous to Clostridioides difficile within the host. by Michael J Ormsby, Filipa Vaz, Joseph A Kirk, Anna Barwinska-Sendra, Jennifer C Hallam, Paola Lanzoni-Mangutchi, John Cole, Roy R Chaudhuri, Paula S Salgado, Robert P Fagan, Gillian R Douce

“…Clostridioides difficile is responsible for substantial morbidity and mortality in antibiotically-treated, hospitalised, elderly patients, in which toxin production correlates with diarrhoeal disease. While the function of these toxins has been studied in detail, the contribution of other factors, including the paracrystalline surface layer (S-layer), to disease is less well understood. …”

The Relationship between Serum CXCL8 and ET-1 Expression Levels and Sepsis Complicated with Heart Failure by Jianlong Zhu, Changjun Song, Tingting Cai, Lulu Yi, Wei Zhang, Jing Zhong, Meirong Shen

“…A total of 128 sepsis patients accepted by the Ganzhou People’s Hospital from March 2019 to December 2021 were collected as observation objects, and they were separated into a simple sepsis group (86 cases) and a complicated heart failure group (42 cases) according to whether they were accompanied by heart failure or not. General data such as Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II) were collected; the expression levels of serum CXCL8 and ET-1 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); the cardiac function parameters such as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), stroke volume (SV), cardiac output (CO), and cardiac index (CI) were measured by color Doppler ultrasound; the correlation between serum CXCL8 and ET-1 expression levels with clinical data and cardiac function parameters in patients with sepsis complicated with heart failure was analyzed by the Pearson correlation; and the influencing factors of sepsis complicated with heart failure were analyzed by the logistic regression analysis. …”
