Abstract

The Regional Climate Modeling system (RegCM) has undergone a significant evolution over the years, leading for example to the widely used versions RegCM4 and RegCM4-NH. In response to the demand for higher resolution, a new version of the system has been developed, RegCM5, incorporating the non-hydrostatic dynamical core of the MOLOCH weather prediction model. In this paper we assess the RegCM5's performance for 9 CORDEX-CORE domains, including a pan-European domain at convection-permitting resolution. We find temperature biases generally in the range of -2 to 2 degrees Celsius, with a larger positive bias in the northernmost regions of North America and Asia during winter, linked to cloud water overestimation.There are cold biases over Central Asia and the Tibetan Plateau, possibly due to sparse station coverage. The model exhibits a prevailing cold bias in maximum temperature and warm bias in minimum temperature, associated with a systematic overestimation of lower-level cloud fraction, especially in winter. Taylor diagrams indicate a high spatial temperature pattern correlation with ERA5 and CRU data, except in South America and the Caribbean region. The precipitation evaluation shows an overestimation in South America, East Asia, and Africa. RegCM5 improves the daily precipitation distribution compared to RegCM4, particularly at high intensities. The analysis of wind fields confirms the model's ability to simulate monsoon circulations. The assessment of tropical cyclone tracks highlights a strong sensitivity to the tracking algorithms, thus necessitating a careful model interpretation. Over the European region, the convection permitting simulations especially improve the diurnal cycle of precipitation and the hourly precipitation intensities.

Abstract

Background Lung prefusion and ventilation under physiological conditions have not been evaluated and visualized before. We aim to analyse pulmonary perfusion and ventilation between tidal and deep breathing in healthy individuals and compared differences between sexes and age groups with Phase-Resolved Functional Lung Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PREFUL- MRI).Methods This prospective observational study included healthy volunteers from May 2023 to May 2024. All participants underwent PREFUL-MRI in the supine position during tidal and deep-slow breathing using a balanced steady-state free-precession sequence. Perfusion-and ventilation-related metrics on PREFUL-MRI were analysed with an automated quantitative pipeline and compared between tidal and deep breathing, sexes and age groups.Results Eighty-seven healthy participants (47 men, mean age: 38.6 ± 12.3 years) were enrolled. Mean perfusion (7.7% vs. 6.0%, p < 0.001) and ventilation defects (8.6% vs. 5.1%, p = 0.002) were decreased, and mean ventilation (15.8% vs. 48.3%, p < 0.001) and perfusion defects (1.9% vs 7.9%, p = 0.001) increased during deep breathing compared with those during tidal breathing. Twenty-eight participants had increased lung perfusion while the other 59 people had reduced perfusion during tidal breathing. During tidal breathing, men exhibited higher mean ventilation (20.2% vs. 14.2%, p = 0.002) and more ventilation defects (9.5% vs. 6.3%, p = 0.022)than did women. Perfusion defects decreased in participants aged ≥ 45 years compared with those aged < 45 years (1.6% vs. 2.6%, p = 0.029). Mean flow-volume loop correlations were similar between tidal and deep breathing, sexes and age groups (p > 0.05).Conclusion PREFUL-MRI enables visually analysing lung perfusion and ventilation, thus enhancing our understanding of the physiological characteristics and alterations of lung.
Analysis of Different Machine Learning Models for Credit Card Fraud Detection
Authors: Mehta Harsh 
Published: October 2024

Abstract

The increase in number of online transactions has led to a significant amount of credit card fraud over the past decade. Unauthorized use of one’s credit card information by stealing the information through dark web or scam calls, poses a major risk to both customer and businesses, particularly in e-commerce setting. This paper presents a comparative analysis of multiple machine learning models for credit card fraud detection, including logistic regression, isolation forest, K – mean clustering, and convolutional neural networks. With a highly unbalanced dataset we aim to evaluate these models’ performance in differentiating between genuine and fraudulent transactions based on features such as transaction history, user details, and merchant information. Our experiment results will help provide insights into effectiveness of each model for finding patterns to distinguish between real and fake that can be applied to real world data. This research contributes to the field of financial security by offering guidance on model selection for credit card fraud detection and related applications. View this project here.

Published: October 2024

Abstract

This study proposes constrained convolutional neural network models for determining the initial connection weights in the Fully Connected Network (FCN) layer within the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model, resulting in an increase in the CNN model's performance. A literature review indicates that the constrained method is used in conjunction with CNN. However, previous studies have typically focused on using the constrained method before feature selection in CNN. In contrast, this study aims to calculate the initial values of the connection weights, one of the hyperparameters in the FCN, by using the constrained method between feature selection and the FCN layer. Five different models are proposed: the Constrained Difference CNN (D-CNN), the Sample Constrained CNN (C-CNN), the Constrained Sum CNN (S-CNN), the Random Sum CNN (RS-CNN), and the Constrained Mixed CNN (M-CNN). These proposed models and classical CNN, have been applied to the MNIST, MNIST Fashion, and CIFAR-10 datasets then the results have been examined. According to the average accuracy results, the C-CNN model achieved the highest performance in the MNIST dataset with an accuracy rate of 99.03\%. In the MNIST Fashion dataset, the best result was obtained by the D-CNN model with an accuracy rate of 91.80\%. Similarly, the D-CNN model achieved the highest performance in the CIFAR-10 dataset with an accuracy rate of 71.44\%. D-CNN and C-CNN models have outperformed the other proposed models and the classical CNN. The reason for the better performance of these two methods is considered to be their calculation based on the differential operation.

Abstract

Although high aspect-ratio 2D materials show great promise for printed electronics, few have yet been tested in these applications. In this study, we synthesised 28 different 2D materials and used electrochemical exfoliation to produce nanosheets which were then solution-deposited for characterization and device fabrication. Combining theory and experiment revealed that exfoliation of layered crystals with stiffness anisotropy above a critical value (Ein/Eout>1.7) can yield nanosheets with aspect-ratios >1000. Networks of high aspect-ratio, liquid-deposited nanosheets demonstrated n-type, p-type and ambipolar behaviour, and achieve peak mobilities and on/off ratios up to 13 cm².V⁻¹.s⁻¹ and 10⁵ respectively (WS₂). However, electrical performance remained limited by junctions, suggesting room for further improvement. The highest-performing 2D materials were utilized to create inverters, buffers, a 4-bit digital-to-analog converter, and a binary-amplitude-shift-keying circuit for encoding and decoding a 7-bit ASCII message. This work expands the range of 2D materials suitable for solution-processed electronics and highlights their potential.
БИБЛИОГРАФИЧЕСКИЙ ПРОЕКТ КОНРАДА ГЕССНЕРА: ИСТОРИЯ КНИГ В ПРЕДСТАВЛЕНИИ ГУМАНИСТА
Authors: М.Л. СЕРГЕЕВ 
Published: October 2024

В разделе книги публикуется полный перевод на русский язык вступи-тельной части к «Универсальной библиотеке» (1545) Конрада Гесснера — знаменитого труда, заложившего основы библиографии печатной книги. Предисловие и посвятительное письмо Гесснера отражают взгляды гума-ниста на всеобщую историю книги и важнейшие задачи управления ин-формацией, для которых существенно ощущение информационной пере-грузки и одновременно — понимание утраты значительных литературных трудов прошлого. Демонстрируя хорошее знакомство с устройством книжного дела — публикации и распространения изданий — Гесснер об-ращает внимание на новые трудности, которые стоят перед библиографи-ей и собиранием библиотек в эпоху книгопечатания. Кроме того, публи-куемые тексты содержат сведения об истории гесснеровского проекта (включавшего, помимо алфавитного тома, еще несколько частей), его ис-точниках и инструкцию по использованию справочника, отражающую ожидания читающей публики того времени. Русский перевод сопровожда-ется введением и комментариями, разъясняющими трудные места текста — реалии, цитаты и аллюзии, — а также помещающими «Библиотеку» в контекст современных исследований по истории книги и библиографии.
This book section offers a complete translation into Russian of the introduc-tion to the “Bibliotheca universalis” (1545) by Conrad Gessner, the famous work that laid the foundations of printed book bibliography. Gessner's preface and dedicatory letter present the humanist's view of the universal history of the book and the most important tasks of information management — view which was characterized by a sense of information overload and at the same time — under-standing the loss of significant literary works of the past. Demonstrating a good knowledge of the structure of the book business — printing and distribution — Gessner draws attention to the new challenges facing bibliography and book collection in the age of printing. In addition, the published paratexts contain information on the history of Gessner’s project (which included several parts in addition to the alphabetical volume), its sources, and an instruction manual re-flecting the expectations of the reading public at the time. The Russian transla-tion is accompanied by an introduction and commentary that clarifies difficult passages in the text — realities, quotations, and allusions — and places the Bib-liotheca in the context of contemporary research on the history of the book and bibliography.

Celem pracy było porównanie rozkładów dawek planów wykonanych techniką obrotową z modulacją intensywności dawki VMAT (ang. Volumetric Modulated Arc Theraphy) dla nowotworu odbytnicy dla dwóch pozycji pacjenta: pozycji na plecach i na brzuchu. Wybrano retrospektywnie pacjentów do dwóch grup, każda składała się z 10 pacjentów. Dla każdego pacjenta wykonano plan leczenia w technice VMAT z zastosowaniem dwóch lub trzech łuków o energii 6 MV, z wykorzystaniem akceleratora liniowego TrueBeam. Dawka zadana wynosiła 25 Gy w 5 frakcjach. W planach przeanalizowano następujące parametry: wartości dawki zdeponowanej w 98% i 2% objętości PTV oraz wartość dawek jakie otrzymały narządy krytyczne. W grupie pacjentów leczonych w pozycji na brzuchu wykazano redukcję dawki w jelitach poprzez zmniejszenie objętości jelita w polu napromieniowania w porównaniu do ułożenia pacjenta w pozycji na plecach. Różnica dawek w innych narządach krytycznych jest nieznaczna.
Pattern-based assessment of the influence of catchment characteristics on urban stormwater quality
Authors: Chowdhury Anupam , Egodawatta Prasanna , McGree James 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT

Use of traditional catchment characteristics and lack of effective separation of catchment characteristics from rainfall characteristics limits the adequate understanding of the actual influences of catchment characteristics on stormwater quality. In this context, this study adopted a pattern-based separation approach to identifying common events from three rainfall clusters of study catchments, where rainfall characteristics for identified common 8, 9 and 36 events are similar, but catchment characteristics are different. This study identified that the locations of pervious surfaces and urban forms are also important catchment characteristics. The contribution of the pervious area to runoff is significant for long durational (cluster 1) and high-intensity (cluster 3) rainfall events associated with low antecedent dry days and initiated at around 35 mm rainfall depth. A catchment having a large impervious area and pervious area located at far distances from the drainage system can contribute more pollutant load at first 10% runoff volume. High socio-economic developed urban form can contribute a high fraction wash-off corresponding to 10–70% runoff volume due to traffic-related behaviour and various anthropogenic activities. The developed knowledge will overcome the shortcomings of lumped characteristics-based treatment design and improve the efficiency of current stormwater treatment system design practices.

:
The review explores the vital dimensions of pharmacovigilance (PV) and adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting in the healthcare industry,
highlighting their importance for public health and patient safety. The review follows the development of PV from its historical beginnings in
India, highlighting significant turning points and legislative frameworks that have influenced modern practices. Sibutramine, a well-known
medication, is investigated to highlight the significance of watchful PV systems. Meanwhile, ADR reporting is significant in healthcare because it
directly impacts public health and patient safety. However, there is still a need to address issues like healthcare providers' ignorance and
underreporting. The suggested solution is to establish Regional Reporting Centres (RRCs), with successful models demonstrating the benefits they
provide, including improved data collection and regional assistance. Despite the advantages, setting up RRCs has its share of difficulties, such as
coordination and resource allocation. Effective RRC implementation improves ADR reporting, as shown by case studies and success stories. In
order to improve ADR reporting and PV procedures, the research ends with suggestions for the future that call for more regulatory assistance, more
training for healthcare workers, and public awareness campaigns.

Published: October 2024

Abstract
Participatory design is an increasingly common informatics method to engage intended audiences in the development of health-related resources. Participatory design is particularly helpful for developing information visualizations that aim to improve health outcomes by means of improved comprehension, communication or engagement, and subsequent behavior changes. Existing literature on participatory design lacks the practical details that influence the success of the method and does not address emergent issues, such as strategies to enhance internet-based data collection. In this tutorial, our objective is to provide practical guidance on how to prepare for, conduct, and analyze participatory design sessions for information visualization. The primary audience for this tutorial is research teams, but this guide is relevant for organizations and other health professionals looking to design visualizations for their patient populations, as they can use this guide as a procedural manual. This start-to-finish guide provides information on how to prepare for design sessions by setting objectives and applying theoretical foundations, planning design sessions to match project goals, conducting design sessions in different formats with varying populations, and carrying out effective analysis. We also address how the methods in this guide can be implemented in the context of resource constraints. This tutorial contains a glossary of relevant terms, pros and cons of variations in the type of design session, an informed consent template, a preparation checklist, a sample design session guide and selection of useful design session prompts, and examples of how surveys can supplement the design process.

Key Points

GFR estimations are biased in patients with frank nephrotic syndrome, but the problem is uncharacterized in patients with non-nephrotic proteinuria.We investigated the bias and accuracy of eGFR formulas in patients with mild-to-moderate proteinuria participating in the ramipril in nondiabetic renal failure 1 and 2 trials.The CKD Epidemiology Collaboration 2009 and 2021 and European Kidney Function Consortium equations show no significant bias and sufficient accuracy in moderate-to-severe proteinuria.

Background
Creatinine-based GFR formulas introduce a substantial bias in GFR estimations in patients with frank nephrotic syndrome. The bias and accuracy of creatinine-based GFR estimates (eGFR) in patients with non-nephrotic proteinuria need better characterization.

Methods
We used data from the Ramipril in Nondiabetic Renal Failure (ramipril in nondiabetic renal failure [REIN] 1) and REIN 2 trials involving nondiabetic CKD patients with proteinuria to compare eGFRs derived from the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration formulas (with and without race) and the European Kidney Function Consortium equations with iohexol clearance (a gold-standard GFR measure, measured GFR [mGFR]). Bias was defined as the median difference between eGFR and mGFR while accuracy was assessed using P30 and P15 metrics, which represent the percentage of eGFR values within ±30% and ±15% of mGFR, respectively.

Results
The median bias of the three formulas being compared did not differ, being minimal and in a strict range (0.04–0.05 ml/ml per min per 1.73 m2) in the REIN 1 trial and (−0.04 to 0.03 ml/min per 1.73 m2) in the REIN 2 trial. These findings were confirmed in analyses stratified by age and mGFR. The global accuracy of the three formulas regarding P30 % showed sufficient accuracy (P30 >75%) in the REIN 1 trial and all strata in the REIN 2 trial, but the mGFR stratum was <15 ml/min per 1.73 m2.

Conclusions
The CKD Epidemiology Collaboration (with and without race) and European Kidney Function Consortium equations show no significant bias and sufficient accuracy in patients with proteinuria. These formulas can be safely applied to nondiabetic CKD patients with moderate-to-severe proteinuria.
