The Relationship between Polar Vortex and Ozone Depletion in the Antarctic Stratosphere during the Period 1979–2016 by Yu Zhang, Jing Li, Libo Zhou

“…In this study, the linkage between polar vortex and ozone depletion in Antarctic stratosphere during the period 1979–2016 is investigated; we calculated the averaged total column ozone within the polar vortex based on the vortex edge (−28.8 PVU PV contour) instead of the geographical region defined by latitude and longitude. …”

On the estimation of inverse-probability-of-censoring weights for the evaluation of survival prediction error. by Thomas Prince, Andrea Bommert, Jörg Rahnenführer, Matthias Schmid

“…However, in some circumstances, such as in the case of a covariate-dependent censoring process, a small sample size, or when dealing with noisy data, it may be advisable to use the test set instead of the training set to model the censoring distribution. …”

Long Noncoding RNA Regulation of Pluripotency by Alessandro Rosa, Monica Ballarino

“…The first class includes microRNAs (miRNAs), which are involved in the posttranscriptional regulation of cell cycle and differentiation in PSCs. Instead, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent a heterogeneous group of long transcripts that regulate gene expression at transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. …”

A Novel Fault Diagnosis Method for Motor Bearing Based on DTCWT and AFSO-KELM by Yan Lu, Peijiang Li

“…Firstly, the dual tree complex wavelet transform instead of the discrete wavelet transform is used to decompose the motor bearing signal; then, the features with large differentiation of motor-bearing fault are extracted; finally, the states of motor bearing are classified by using artificial fish swarm optimization-kernel extreme learning machine. …”

Language shift in Aceh: The sociolinguistic situation of post-conflict society by Teuku Muhammad Ridha Al-Auwal, Robert Amery, Ian Green

“…Based on focus groups with young people and young parents, as well as follow-up interviews with members of an earlier generation, the study revealed that the prolonged conflict between Aceh and Indonesia failed to lead to resistance. Instead of being a colonial language, Indonesian is an integral part of national identity. …”

Short Paper - Quadratic minimization: from conjugate gradient to an adaptive Polyak’s momentum method with Polyak step-sizes by Goujaud, Baptiste, Taylor, Adrien, Dieuleveut, Aymeric

“…The adaptivity crucially relies on so-called “Polyak step-sizes”, which consists of using the knowledge of the optimal value of the optimization problem at hand instead of problem parameters such as a few eigenvalues of the Hessian of the problem. …”

Evaluating Key Indicators for Urban Decarbonization: A Framework for Sustainable Cities by Purcel Rodica, Croitoru Cristina

“…Key findings indicate that while there are numerous indicators available, there is no single measure that captures the full scope of urban decarbonization outcomes. Instead, a combination of indicators is necessary to provide a comprehensive assessment. …”

La voix étranglée de Tess by Annie Ramel

“…Thus Tess’s voice is hardly ever heard, her lament is never vocalized, it seems to be stuck in her throat. Instead we see the « round little hole » of her mouth when Angel rejects her, or we read innumerable « O’s » on the page when she speaks. …”

Atypical Craniosynostosis with Torticollis and Neurological Symptoms: A Rhombencephalosynapsis Sequence by Virve Koljonen, Junnu Leikola, Leena Valanne, Jyri Hukki

“…Operative treatment for craniosynotosis was not carried out because the cause of the problems was the cerebellum instead of the brain. Conclusions. Therefore, we conclude that patients with atypical craniosynostosis should be examined with brain-MRI to exclude the intracranial malformations, which 3D-CT does not reveal. …”
