Molecular and Cellular Pathways Contributing to Joint Damage in Rheumatoid Arthritis by Qinghua Fang, Chun Zhou, Kutty Selva Nandakumar

“…Although etiology of this disease is not clear, several immune pathways, involving immune (T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, and neutrophils) and nonimmune (fibroblasts and chondrocytes) cells, participate in the secretion of many proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, proteases (MMPs, ADAMTS), and other matrix lysing enzymes that could disturb the immune balance leading to cartilage and bone damage. …”

Clutter Mitigation in Echocardiography Using Sparse Signal Separation by Javier S. Turek, Michael Elad, Irad Yavneh

“…The MCA approach assumes that the two signals in the additive mix have each a sparse representation under some dictionary of atoms (a matrix), and separation is achieved by finding these sparse representations. In our work, an adaptive approach is used for learning the dictionary from the echo data. …”

Applying Stationary and Nonstationary Generalized Extreme Value Distributions in Modeling Annual Extreme Temperature Patterns by Erick A. Kyojo, Sarah E. Osima, Silas S. Mirau, Verdiana G. Masanja

“…Trend analyses identify significant temperature trends in Mbeya (p value = 0.0123) and Ruvuma (p value = 0.0015), emphasizing the need for adaptive climate strategies. These findings underscore the importance of accounting for nonstationarity in climate models to better understand and predict temperature extremes.…”
