Green Room – An architectural and urban device for energy efficiency and environmental comfort by Luigi Coccia, Sara Cipolletti, Gianmarco Corvaro

“…Considering the innovation opportunities expressed by the energy transition, also achieved through nature-based regenerative solutions, aimed at reducing consumption and CO2 emissions, the methodology leads to the conceptualisation of the multiscalar spatial device Green Room: a volumetric decrement action associated with vegetative infiltration applied to significant parts of buildings and open spaces in three sample areas of the Adriatic-Mediterranean region. Starting from morphological, typological, and climatic data and managing computational simulation processes, the experiment aims to update design tools at the architectural and urban scale, establishing a relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces to achieve benefits for the environment and people’s well-being.   …”

Uncertainty Estimation in Unsupervised MR-CT Synthesis of Scoliotic Spines by Enamundram Naga Karthik, Farida Cheriet, Catherine Laporte

“…A novel adaptation of the cycle-consistency constraint in CycleGAN is proposed such that the model predicts the aleatoric uncertainty maps in addition to the standard volume-to-volume translation between Magnetic Resonance (MR) and Computed Tomography (CT) data. Ablation experiments were performed to understand uncertainty estimation as an implicit regularizer and a measure of the model's confidence. …”

Googling the US Electoral Cycle, 2004-2016: South African Insights by Bhaso Ndzendze

“…Digital media is forecast for 21% of political ads, cable TV 14% and radio nearly 5%” (Adgate, 2019). This disproportional share for digital spending is indicative of what scholars have termed as the rise of computational politics, defined by one study as “the application of digital targeted-marketing technologies to election campaigns” (Chester and Montgomery, 2017: 1). …”

Activation of glutamatergic neurons in the organum vasculosum of the lamina terminalis induces thirst-driven sniffing by Wei He, Luo Shi, Ziteng Yue, Ke Zhao, Xiaoyi Wang, Kailin Wang, Xinyi Jing, Shangyu Bi, Tianjiao Deng, Xue Zhao, Xiaochen Tian, Xiangchen Ma, Yongqiang Chen, Fang Yuan, Sheng Wang

“…Photostimulation of both OVLTGlut neurons and their axon terminals within the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) induces robust sniffing. Furthermore, ablation of PVN neurons projecting to the preBötzinger complex not only reduces the sniffing time induced by photostimulation of OVLTGlut neurons projecting to the PVN but also prolongs the drinking latency. …”

MicroRNA-19a Targets Fibroblast Growth Factor-Inducible Molecule 14 and Prevents Tubular Damage in Septic AKI by Jun Hong, Bang-Chuan Hu, Liang Xu, Yang Zheng, Zi-Qiang Shao, Run Zhang, Xiang-Hong Yang, Ren-Hua Sun, Shi-Jing Mo

“…We identify Fn14 as a bona fide target of miR-19a, which directly binds to 3′ UTR of Fn14 for repression independent of cylindromatosis (CYLD), the deubiquitinase (DUB) downstream of miR-19a, and thereby antagonizes the LPS-induced tubular cell apoptosis. Genetic ablation of Fn14, but not of CYLD, abolishes the ability of miR-19a to antagonize the tubular apoptosis by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). …”
