Automated Detection of High Frequency Oscillations in Intracranial EEG Using the Combination of Short-Time Energy and Convolutional Neural Networks by Dakun Lai, Xinyue Zhang, Kefei Ma, Zichu Chen, Wenjing Chen, Heng Zhang, Han Yuan, Lei Ding

“…The proposed methodology presents the following significant advantages: 1) compared with the recently reported HFOs detector based on the CNN using only the 1D temporal EEG signal, the proposed method achieves a higher accuracy using the deep CNN classifier on 2D time–frequency map of HFOs, of which the evaluated sensitivity and false discovery rate (FDR) for identifying ripples are 88.16% and 12.58%, respectively, and the corresponding sensitivity and FDR are 93.37% and 8.1% for detecting fast ripples, respectively; 2) it is capable of automatically extracting the shared features of HFOs events of different patients and would be much robust, unlike other automated methodologies proposed in the literature where the characteristics of HFOs were extracted manually on the basis of researchers’ knowledge, which, probably, is prone to observer bias; and 3) with the proposed STE estimation, all suspicious ripples and fast ripples could be initially found out and transformed into time–frequency map for subsequently CNN-based classification, rather than transforming and classifying the raw data, thus requiring a lower computational resource. …”

Visean terrigenous sediments of the South Tatar Arch (Volga-Urals oil and gas bearing province) – multifacial filling of the karst surface of the Tournaisian isolated carbonate pla... by V. V. Silantiev, M. F. Validov, D. N. Miftakhutdinova, N. G. Nourgalieva, E. A. Korolev, B. G. Ganiev, A. A. Lutfullin, K. D. Shumatbaev, R. M. Khabipov, V. A. Sudakov, Yu. A. Akhmadullina, K. A. Golod, A. A. Leontev, R. R. Shamsiev, D. A. Nikonorova, S. S. Krikun, M. V. Noykin, E. A. Abdullina

“…It is concluded that the accumulation and preservation of terrigenous and peat (coal-bearing) sediments differ in duration (0.1 million years vs. 1.5–2 million years) and are consequently associated with transgressive and regressive phases.The accumulation of terrigenous sediments includes: (a) transgressive eustatic episodes – short-term incursions of a marine basin onto the eroded surface of an isolated carbonate platform, during which silty and sandy, wellsorted bioturbated sediments were accumulated, often with a variety of ichnofossils of marine benthic organisms; (b) the regressive eustatic phase resulted in the predominant erosion of sediments on the arch; whereas sediments in the incisions were largely preserved.The accumulation of peat (coal-bearing) deposits includes (a) the regressive eustatic phase, during which the vast area of the eastern Volga-Urals region was covered with flourishing vegetation and stable swamp environments were forming in the incisions of the Tournaisian surface; (b) the transgressive phase – the peat was overlaid and buried by transgressive marine silt-sand sediments; then it was compacted and transformed into coal. …”
