From lab to landscape-scale experiments for the morphodynamics of sand dunes by Claudin, Philippe, Courrech du Pont, Sylvain, Narteau, Clément

“…We discuss different experimental set-ups and results, especially concerning dune pattern orientation and dune interaction. Under natural wind regimes in terrestrial deserts, we show the potential of field experiments in which the control of initial and boundary conditions allows for the quantification of all the relevant mechanisms involved in dune growth. …”

Value-Oriented Consciousness by V. V. Matyushina

“…The essence of the fundamental paradigm of modern psycholinguistics is revealed where the image of linguistic consciousness is the basic research pattern. The image of linguistic consciousness is determined as the image of the world mediated by language, or it can be presented as a collection of images of consciousness expressed with the help of language tools. …”

Heterogeneous Network-Based Chronic Disease Progression Mining by Chenfei Sun, Qingzhong Li, Lizhen Cui, Hui Li, Yuliang Shi

“…Existing disease progression methods often ignore complex relations, such as the time-gap and pattern of disease occurrence. They also do not take into account the different medication stages of the same chronic disease, which is of great help when conducting healthcare insurance fraud detection and reducing healthcare costs. …”
