Three-dimensional aortic arch geometry and blood flow in neonates after surgical repair for aortic coarctation

Background: Recurrent coarctation of the aorta (re-CoA) is a well-known although not fully understood complication after surgical repair, typically occurring in 10%–20% of cases within months after discharge. Objectives: To (1) characterize geometry of the aortic arch and blood flow from pre-discharge magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in neonates after CoA repair; and (2) compare these measures bet

Pink Hair as a Cyberfeminist Symbol : Online Gender-Based Violence and the “PinkUp” Movement in China

This paper investigates online gender-based violence (OGBV) in China using the perspectives of queer feminism and cyberfeminism. As a case study, it examines the cyberviolence against the “Pink Hair Girl” on Xiaohongshu (a popular Chinese social media platform) and the subsequent resistance by women. The study focuses on the following questions: How does the symbolic use of pink hair represent que

The effect of introducing waste heat from electrolyzers to a power plant in-between two district heating condensers

The work studied the concept of introducing electrolyzer waste heat in between the district heating condensers to study the effects. This was done through IPSEpro where a model of a small-scale Swedish CHP-station was built. Two different cases were analyzed, where one CHP-station was analyzed as an existing (i.e., a fixed geometry) station and the other as a future potential station with external

Assessing the elevational synchronization in vegetation phenology across Northern Hemisphere mountain ecosystems under global warming

In recent decades, changes in vegetation phenology have exhibited a tight coupling with global warming. Mountain ecosystems are particularly susceptible to climate change, with high elevations warming faster than lower areas. The inconsistent rate of temperature change across elevations may lead to synchronization of phenological patterns, reducing the differences in phenology timing between high

Unbiased Drug Target Prediction Reveals Sensitivity to Ferroptosis Inducers, HDAC and RTK Inhibitors in Melanoma Subtypes

Background: The utilization of PD1 and CTLA4 inhibitors has revolutionized the treatment of malignant melanoma (MM). However, resistance to targeted and immune-checkpoint-based therapies still poses a significant problem. Objective: Here, we mine large-scale MM proteogenomic data to identify druggable targets and forecast treatment efficacy and resistance. Methods: Leveraging protein profiles from

Voltage Regulation in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Systems Using Gaussian Process Model Predictive Control

This study presents a novel approach using Gaussian process model predictive control (MPC) to stabilize the output voltage of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) by regulating hydrogen and airflow rates. Two Gaussian process models capture PEFC dynamics, accounting for constraints like hydrogen pressure and input change rates to reduce predictive control errors. The performance of the physical

Spatial Downscaling of Gridded Soil Moisture Products Using Optical and Thermal Satellite Data: Effect of Using Different Vegetation Indices

Satellite remote sensing offers global-scale soil moisture (SM) estimation to assess water and energy cycles. However, the coarse resolution of SM products from microwave remote sensing is unsuitable for fine-scale analysis. This study explored spatial downscaling methods to refine the 0.25° ESA CCI SM product to a 1-km resolution, utilizing optical and thermal remote sensing data, including the n

Flammable and Toxic Gases from Batteries in Thermal Runaway: Consequences and mitigation

The widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) across energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics is accelerating, yet the safety challenges associated with thermal runaway (TR) events remain incompletely understood. This report presents a structured review of current knowledge regarding flammable and toxic gas emissions from LIBs during TR, the consequences for fiThe widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) across energy storage systems, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics is accelerating, yet the safety challenges associated with thermal runaway (TR) events remain incompletely understood.

Optimal Control on Positive Cones

An optimal control problem on finite-dimensional positive cones is stated. Under a critical assumption on the cone, the corresponding Bellman equation is satisfied by a linear function, which can be computed by convex optimization. A separate theorem relates the assumption on the cone to the existence of minimal elements in certain subsets of the dual cone. Three special cases are derived as examp

Attack Stealthiness and Detection of Multiagent Systems : A Zero-Sum Formulation

Cybersecurity has in recent years emerged as a paramount concern in the design and operation of industrial systems and civil infrastructures, due mainly to their susceptibility to malicious cyber attacks which take advantage of the vulnerability of communication networks and IT devices. In this paper, we investigate such an attack and counter attack scenario by considering multiagent systems, a so

Maladaptive daydreaming should be included as a dissociative disorder in psychiatric manuals : Position paper

Maladaptive daydreaming is a distinct syndrome in which themain symptom is excessive vivid fantasising that causesclinically significant distress and functional impairment inacademic, vocational and social domains. Unlike normaldaydreaming, maladaptive daydreaming is persistent, compulsiveand detrimental to one’s life. It involves detachmentfrom reality in favour of intense emotional engagement wi

Cost effectiveness of digital breast tomosynthesis for breast cancer screening in a Swedish setting

Background: In the Malmö Breast Tomosynthesis Screening Trial (MBTST), digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) increased the detection rate of breast cancer compared to currently used digital mammography (DM). This study evaluated the cost effectiveness of DBT versus DM in Sweden using data from MBTST. Materials and method: A health economic model was used to compare a breast cancer screening programme
