Twin Peaks, ou l’exploration de l’espace américain by Zachary Baqué

“…Most studies of David Lynch's work tend to include Twin Peaks (1990-1991) in their interpretation, thus forgetting that the auteur theory cannot easily operate when TV series are analyzed, insofar as they are less the products of a single person than the point at which various interests intersect. …”

Unitarization of the one-loop graviton-graviton scattering amplitudes and study of the graviball by J.A. Oller, Marcela Peláez

“…Although the spectrum of the theory is independent of the specific value of ln⁡a, the requirement for a well-behaved unitarized effective field theory of gravity identifies the optimal range of ln⁡a for our next-to-leading-order calculations as 0.5≲ln⁡a≲1.7. …”

Predicting Alzheimer Disease From Mild Cognitive Impairment With a Deep Belief Network Based on 18F-FDG-PET Images by Ting Shen MsD, Jiehui Jiang PhD, Jiaying Lu MD, Min Wang MsD, Chuantao Zuo MD, PhD, Zhihua Yu, Zhuangzhi Yan PhD

“…We aimed to develop a new deep belief network (DBN) framework using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) metabolic imaging to identify patients at the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) stage with presymptomatic AD and to discriminate them from other patients with MCI. Methods: 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-PET images of 109 patients recruited in the ongoing longitudinal Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative study were included in this analysis. …”

Mechanical Properties and Control Rockburst Mechanism of Coal and Rock Mass with Bursting Liability in Deep Mining by Ming-tao Gao, Zhen-qi Song, Hui-qiang Duan, Heng-qi Xin, Jian-quan Tang

“…For the less fractured rock, the descending modulus Ed is relatively large, and the Ee/Ed is relatively small and presents brittle failure, which is very similar to the characteristics of rockburst. (2) For the same type of rock, with the increase of confining pressure, the Ee/Ed gradually increases, indicating the reduction of rockburst strength. Therefore, the greater the support strength provided to the surrounding rock surface of the roadway, the smaller the failure degree of rockburst. (3) With the increase of confining pressure, after peak strength, the elastic energy of coal specimens decreases slowly, and the dissipated energy increases slowly, indicating that the increase of confining pressure can effectively limit the energy dissipation and release after coal specimen failure. …”
