Structural-functional brain network coupling during cognitive demand reveals intelligence-relevant communication strategies by Johanna L. Popp, Jonas A. Thiele, Joshua Faskowitz, Caio Seguin, Olaf Sporns, Kirsten Hilger

“…Here, we consider their alignment, the structural-functional brain network coupling (SC-FC coupling) during resting state and during active cognition, to predict general intelligence. Using diffusion-weighted and functional magnetic resonance imaging data from 764 participants of the Human Connectome Project (replication: N 1  = 126, N 2  = 180), we model SC-FC coupling with similarity and communication measures that capture functional interactions unfolding on top of structural brain networks. …”

Study on Sub-Regional Weighted Mean Atmospheric Temperature Modeling and Its Application in China by GAO Deheng, ZHANG Wei, SHEN Qinghua

“…,the number of sounding observation layers and the ceiling height,and the accuracy of weighted mean atmospheric temperature (T_m).Considering only one factor,the root-mean-square (RMS) between the calculated T_m using resampled and the measured one is about 1 K when the ceiling height is beyond 9 km,or the number of observation layers is beyond thirteen.Then,given the distribution of the actual ceiling height and the number of layers of samples,radiosonde observations with the ceiling height of over 9 km and the number of observation layers greater than eight are applied to build a national and a sub-regional regression model,respectively.In this way,the impact of inconsistent applicability of the national model in different regions is efficiently reduced,and the RMS of fitting residue declines by 17.8%on average.Finally,we apply the sub-regional model to retrieve the time series of precipitable water vapor (PWV) and compare them with contemporaneous PWV data observed by radiosondes.…”
