Determinanti geografiche della mortalità per tumore tiroideo nella Sicilia orientale by Francesca Bitonti, Angelo Mazza

“…We will then apply the generalized Ripley’s K-function and the local Moran’s I to verify the presence of high-risk areas, taking into account both the proximity to the volcano and the non-homogeneous distribution of the population over the territory. …”

Carcinogenesis Associated with Toxin Nephropathy: Proposed Mediation by Phosphate Toxicity by Ronald B. Brown, John G. Mielke

“…Indeed, many carcinogens are also nephrotoxic and can impair kidney function. In turn, impaired renal function can dysregulate serum inorganic phosphate, leading to hyperphosphatemia and excess phosphate storage in tissues, which causes phosphate toxicity. …”

Learning Discrete-Time Uncertain Nonlinear Systems With Probabilistic Safety and Stability Constraints by Iman Salehi, Tyler Taplin, Ashwin P. Dani

“…The controlled dynamic model of a discrete-time system with a zero-mean Gaussian process noise is approximated using an Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) whose parameters are learned subject to chance constraints derived using a discrete-time control barrier function and discrete-time control Lyapunov function in the presence of the ELM reconstruction error. …”

Therapeutic potential of GDF-5 for enhancing tendon regenerative healing by Hanyue Li, Yini Li, Linmei Xiang, Shengyu Luo, Yan Zhang, Sen Li

“…After a tendon injury, the tendon suffers from inadequate and slow healing, resulting in the formation of fibrotic scar tissue, ending up with inferior functional properties. Therapeutic strategies involving the application of growth factors have been advocated to promote tendon healing. …”
