Prognostic Value of the Red Blood Cell Distribution Width-to-Albumin Ratio in Critically Ill Older Patients with Acute Kidney Injury: A Retrospective Database Study by Lei Guo, Dezhun Chen, Bihuan Cheng, Yuqiang Gong, Benji Wang

“…When areas under the curve were compared, RA was a weaker predictor than the SAPS II score but a stronger predictor than red blood cell distribution width (RDW) or albumin alone (P<0.001); RA combined with SAPS II has better predictive power than SAPS II alone (P<0.001). …”

The Relationship between Russian Identity and Political Polarization: The Role of Secure National Identification and National Narcissism by O.A. Gulevich, S.S. Kosimova

“…</strong>Previous research has shown that individuals with a strong secure national identification are more supportive of their fellow citizens than those with a weaker national identity. At the same time, individuals with high levels of national narcissism exhibit more negative attitudes toward co-citizens whom they perceive as threats to the country, compared to those with lower levels of national narcissism. …”

Integrated Impacts of Urban Spatial Form on Thermal Environment and Zonal Regulation under the Perspective of Spatial Heterogeneity by Yan Jinlong, Yin Chaohui, An Zihao, Zhang Simin, Wen Qian, Chen Weiqiang

“…While the share of water area in 2D form had the strongest explanatory power, the other indicators were relatively weaker. Third, there was spatial heterogeneity in the impact of indicators on the thermal environment, with strong locally driven characteristics for indicators such as vegetation cover, percentage of industrial land area, and building density (BD). …”

Effect of Al and Ta Impurities on Si Adsorption on (001) and (111) Surfaces of B1-TiN by Yury M. Koroteev, Leonid A. Svyatkin, Sergey O. Ognev, Vyacheslav M. Silkin

“…It is shown that the Si-Ta interaction has the highest degree of covalency and strength, and the Si-Al interaction is predominantly ionic in most cases considered and is weaker than the Si-Ti and Si-N bonds. Impurity atoms of Al or Ta have very little effect on the Si-Ti and Si-N bonds due to the local nature of the bonds in the Ti_1−x−yAl<i>_x</i>Ta<i>_y</i>N surface system with adsorbed silicon atoms.…”

Determination of a normal orogenic palaeo-geothermal gradient with clay mineral and organic matter indices: a review by Rafael Ferreiro Mählmann, Meinert Rahn, Sébastien Potel, Lan Nguyen-Thanh, Rainer Petschick

“…In both parts of the Alps a complex thermal history of short durations (< 5.0 myr for the Northern Calcareous Alps to 10 myr for the Helvetic Alps) caused similar VR/KI trends, but disequilibrium is suggested by weaker regression parameters. The following correlation is calculated for a moderate geotherm (55 to 74 mWm2, mean = 61 mWm2) and normal temperature gradient conditions (25 to 35 °Ckm−1): KI = 1.134e−0.305VR, (R2 = 0.880, n = 462) with VR given as %Rmax, KI as Δ°2θ (limited to values between 0.2 to 1.0 Δ°2θ). …”
