description: INTRODUCTION: Obesity and overweight are significant health problems among Australian children. Parents play a vital role in establishing healthy eating behaviors in their children. However, parents often experience difficulties in implementing effective parenting practices and lack confidence in their ability to help children adopt these behaviors. This trial will evaluate the efficacy of an online program, Healthy Habits Triple P, in improving children's snacking and mealtime behaviors and related parenting practices. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a single-blinded, randomized controlled trial for parents of young Australian children aged 2-6 years. Participants will be recruited through childcare centers, social media, online parent forums and existing networks. The participants in the intervention arm will receive access to a web-based parenting intervention in addition to nutrition-related information for parents published by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia; those in the control arm will receive nutrition-related information only. After the completion of the study, the parenting intervention will be offered to the control arm. The primary outcome will be improvement in children's eating habits. The secondary outcomes include parents' self-efficacy, confidence, children's mealtime behaviors and mealtime parenting strategies. Both primary and secondary outcomes will be evaluated through online-administered, validated parent-reported questionnaires. We will also undertake a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the practicality and acceptability of the intervention.

description: Local governments use state-owned land to raise massive funds to finance urban development in China. However, how is land formed and calculated as a financial asset? We aim to unpack the political-economic dynamics underpinning the phenomenon of turning land into a financial asset. Based on practices in Shanghai, Nanjing, and Jiaxing, this study provides a concrete account of how state-owned land is mobilized to secure funds by urban development corporations (chengtous) and the state itself through land reserve bonds. In either approach, the state manipulates asset formation and calculative techniques to achieve a favorable quantification of asset value. Therefore, the land is not a standard type of collateral but an extension of state credit. We contribute to the geography of assetization by arguing that land is turned into assets through state actions beyond being colonized by financialized techniques.

description: While the mortality rates for many cancers have decreased due to improved detection and treatments, that of pancreatic cancer remains stubbornly high. The microbiome is an important factor in the progression of many cancers. Greater understanding of the microbiome in pancreatic cancer patients, as well as its manipulation, may assist in diagnosis and treatment of this disease. In this report we reviewed studies that compared microbiome changes in pancreatic cancer patients and non-cancer patients. We then identified which bacterial genera were most increased in relative abundance across the oral, pancreatic, duodenal, and faecal tissue microbiomes. In light of these findings, we discuss the potential for utilising these bacteria as diagnostic biomarkers, as well as their potential control using precision targeting with bacteriophages, in instances where a causal oncogenic link is made.

description: Australia's flora and fauna have long been considered unique, but whether this applies to its grasses is less known. This study characterises the Australasian grass flora biogeographically. We investigate the distribution of C3 and C4 grass genera across four continents and construct broad profiles of their grass flora. We use endemism to examine global patterns of specialisation, and inter-continental distributions as indicators of dispersal, using databases constructed over twenty years. We examined Australasian patterns with regard to endemicity and shared groups and categorised all of the region's genera into four age classes, from Australia's separation from Gondwana to the present. Globally, each continent presented a unique profile and C4 grasses were more widely shared than C3. Australasia's grasses equally comprise C3 and C4 genera; it shared two thirds of its C4 types with other continents, whereas C3 types split evenly between shared and endemic. Australasia shared relatively few genera with just one neighbour (7% C3, 13% C4), primarily with EurAsia. Australasian grass genera and species were either endemic or globally widespread, and 88% of C3 and 93% of C4 species were derived from lineages that originated elsewhere. We conclude Southeast Asia was the gateway for dispersal into Australasia, akin to rainforest taxa exchanges which increased from c12 Ma, with about 65% of Australasia's grass genera arriving in the past 3.5 Ma. The strong presence of C4 grasses in Australasia implies they have infiltrated a wide range of ecosystems, many probably occupied by ancient taxa with which they had not co-evolved.
Photomodeling Sant'Omobono. Meeting the challenges of topographic documentation in a waterlogged urban environment [Poster]

Subjects: subject: Archaeology

description: The use of digital photogrammetric techniques to document archaeological layers and features has become increasingly common. Software such as PhotoScan uses multiple photographs of an object to model its geometry. In addition to providing more detailed topographical data than those acquired using a total station alone, such photomodeling offers solutions to problems posed by complex urban excavations. A deep sounding at the site of Sant'Omobono in Rome's Forum Boarium presented special challenges for topographical documentation. The depth of the sounding and excavation below the water table necessitated the installation of steel sheeting to prevent slumping and collapse of the scarp. The initial height of the sheets above the sounding blocked sight lines and precluded the regular use of a total station to document excavation levels. At deeper levels within the sounding, the presence of sump holes, pumps, and occasionally standing water presented additional challenges to the creation of photomodels. The creation of photogrammetric models that included fixed points around the excavation area permitted not only the calculation of real elevation data but also the recording of detailed topographic data for each stratigraphic unit thus modeled. The resulting photomodels can also be used in the creation of traditional transparency overlay plans. Photogrammetric documentation in a single context recording system such as that used at Sant'Omobono has the further advantage of allowing the reconstruction of detailed vertical sections, not only along the limits of the excavated area, but also along any axis within it. Photomodeling also has a potential analytical value in allowing more accurate calculation of sediment-volume estimates than is possible using traditional techniques. The use of photomodeling at Sant'Omobono provides a model for dealing with the specific topographic challenges of urban excavations and for richer data collection in all excavation contexts.

description: Background: Occupational stress among general practitioners (GPs) is a public health concern. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with occupational stress among GPs in China. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used. Data were collected from 3,236 GPs in eastern, central, and western China (response rate, 99.75%) between October 2017 and February 2018 using a structured self-administered questionnaire. An ordinal logistic regression model was used to identify the factors associated with occupational stress among GPs. Results: Among these respondents, 313 (9.67%), 1,028 (31.77%), and 1,895 (58.56%) of GPs had a low, medium, and high level of occupational stress, respectively. GPs from central China, with temporary work contracts, without management responsibility, receiving a moderate level of income, and with moderate occupational development opportunities had a lower level of occupational stress. GPs with greater than 40 working hours per week and those who worked overtime occasionally or frequently had a higher level of occupational stress. Conclusions: The prevalence of occupational stress among GPs is high in China. Substantial regional variation in determinants of occupational stress among GPs was observed. These findings should inform the design of policies to reduce the occupational stress of GPs.

description: IgE-mediated opioid hypersensitivities, or true allergies, are rare and most adverse reactions to opioids can be attributed to side effects or to pseudo-allergies. Given that immune-mediated allergies to opioids are uncommon, literature regarding cross-reactivity among opioid classes are limited. This retrospective study aimed to determine the rates of cross-reactivity and tolerance among patients with previously documented opioid allergy or adverse drug reaction (ADR) across three opioid drug classes (natural, semisynthetic, and synthetic opioids). Patients with documented allergy(s) and/or ADR(s) to opioids were assessed for outcomes of subsequent opioid exposure during any hospital admission at a Veterans Affairs hospital over a 10-year time-period. Veterans were sorted into three cohorts based on the opioid class of the previously documented allergy or ADR. Each cohort had three study arms, one for each class of subsequent opioid exposure. A total of 1507 patients were identified with previously documented allergy or ADR to at least one opioid and at least one subsequent opioid drug exposure. No cross-reactivity among any of the opioid drug classes were found resulting in 100% re-exposure tolerance rates with all study arms. These findings could increase confidence in utilizing opioids in patients with historically documented opioid allergies or ADRs.

description: BACKGROUND: Measures of hip muscle morphology and composition (e.g., muscle size and fatty infiltration) are possible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Standardised protocols or guidelines do not exist for evaluation of hip muscle characteristics, hindering reliable and valid inter-study analysis. This scoping review aimed to collate and synthesise MRI methods for measuring lateral hip muscle size and fatty infiltration to inform the future development of standardised protocols. METHODS: Five electronic databases (Medline, CINAHL, Embase, SportsDISCUS and AMED) were searched. Healthy or musculoskeletal pain populations that used MRI to assess lateral hip muscle size and fatty infiltration were included. Lateral hip muscles of interest included tensor fascia late (TFL), gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. Data on MRI parameters, axial slice location, muscle size and fatty infiltrate measures were collected and analysed. Cross referencing for anatomical locations were made between MRI axial slice and E-12 anatomical plastinate sections. RESULTS: From 2684 identified publications, 78 studies contributed data on volume (n = 31), cross sectional area (CSA) (n = 24), and fatty infiltration (n = 40). Heterogeneity was observed for MRI parameters and anatomical boundaries scrutinizing hip muscle size and fatty infiltration. Seven single level axial slices were identified that provided consistent CSA measurement, including three for both gluteus maximus and TFL, and four for both gluteus medius and minimus. For assessment of fatty infiltration, six axial slice locations were identified including two for TFL, and four for each of the gluteal muscles. CONCLUSIONS: Several consistent anatomical levels were identified for single axial MR slice to facilitate muscle size and fatty infiltration muscle measures at the hip, providing the basis for reliable and accurate data synthesis and improvements in the validity of future between studies analyses. This work establishes the platform for standardised methods for the MRI assessment of lateral hip musculature and will aid in the examination of musculoskeletal conditions around the hip joint. Further studies into whole muscle measures are required to further optimise methodological parameters for hip muscle assessment.

description: Treatment of chronic, non-cancer pain can be challenging in the presence of long-term opioid therapy (LTOT). Buprenorphine products can provide a unique option for chronic pain treatment due to the improved safety profile with a ceiling effect on respiratory depression. Drug manufacturers provide recommendations for conversion from full mu agonist to buprenorphine which typically includes tapering to lower morphine equivalent doses (MEDD). This study will attempt to compare if there is a difference in the ability of achieving buprenorphine maintenance therapy for chronic pain based on the starting opioid MEDD. This study’s primary endpoint is the difference in ability to achieve buprenorphine maintenance therapy for chronic, non-cancer pain based on baseline MEDD (i.e., ≤30 MEDD vs >30 MEDD). Secondary endpoints will describe method of conversion to buprenorphine, difference in frequency of follow up and average time to achieve maintenance doses. There was no difference in ability to achieve buprenorphine maintenance doses between either group. Approximately 40% of patients in each group achieved maintenance doses regardless of baseline MEDD. Patients on higher MEDDs had the same likelihood of achieving buprenorphine maintenance therapy for chronic pain as those were at 30 MEDD and can be considered for buprenorphine therapy without tapering first.

description: Background: Younger patients who sustain anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are at high risk for reinjury after ACL reconstruction. Restoring muscle strength before return to sports (RTS) is regarded as an important factor in reducing the reinjury risk, and quadriceps and hamstring strength assessment is commonly included in RTS testing. However, it is not clear whether reduced strength is a risk factor for subsequent graft rupture in this patient population. Purpose: To investigate the association between quadriceps and hamstring strength at 12 months after primary ACL reconstruction and ACL graft rupture in young patients. Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: The cohort consisted of 210 patients (100 men and 110 women) who were younger than 20 years at the time of primary ACL reconstruction with a hamstring tendon autograft and who had no previous contralateral ACL injury. Isokinetic strength testing (60 and 180 deg/s) of knee flexors and extensors was performed at 12 months postoperatively, and the limb symmetry index (LSI) for each strength outcome was calculated. RTS rates and the incidence of further ACL graft ruptures were recorded. Results: Measures of central tendency (mean and median) of LSI values ranged from 88 to 98. The percentage of patients with LSI ≥90 was 57% to 69% for quadriceps strength and 45% to 47% for hamstring strength. Overall, 19 patients (9%) sustained an ACL graft rupture. No significant differences were found between the patients who sustained an ACL graft rupture and those who did not in terms of quadriceps and hamstring strength at 12 months. No significant associations were found between achieving LSI ≥90 for quadriceps peak torque and subsequent ACL graft rupture. Conclusion: In young patients who underwent an ACL reconstruction, no association was noted between quadriceps and hamstring strength at 12 months postoperatively and subsequent graft ruptures. The role of strength testing as part of the RTS criteria after ACL reconstruction, and specifically the use of limb symmetry thresholds, warrants further investigation and clarification.

description: The following creative thesis includes a printed book of visual and written artwork accompanied by an academic treatise explaining the creative process and references. The book is bound in an 8” by 8” yellow soft cover and contains 8 poems and 26 art pieces covering different media including oil paintings, handmade paper, intaglio prints, and gouache paintings. The content is carefully arranged so as to create a dialogue between text and visuals—each starting as an independent piece that achieves a greater depth of meaning through conversation with adjacent works. Everything from cover to final page is handwritten in replacement of type font, evoking the feel of an artist journal. The treatise written in response to the book explores the scope of the project from initial ideas to final printing while referencing several artists and writers that provided inspiration for content. The title, fragile things, eludes to the delicate nature of both the physical materials in the artworks and the ideas of a childhood lost and reclaimed.

description: This study compares the efficacy of hydrodilatation (HD) alone with intra-articular corticosteroid injection (ICI) in treating frozen shoulder (FS). A total of 48 patients with FS were randomly assigned to two groups: 24 patients received HD treatment, while the other 24 patients received ICI treatment. HD involved 20 mL 0.9% normal saline solution with 3 mL 2% lidocaine, and ICI included 1 mL of 40 mg/mL methylprednisolone acetate with 1 mL 2% lidocaine and 3 mL normal saline. Outcome measures included Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), and passive range of motion (ROM) at baseline, two-, four-, and eight-week follow-ups. Both treatments demonstrated significant improvement in the VAS, SPADI, and passive ROM, when between-times comparison was conducted in each group at all follow-up points over the eight-week study period (p < 0.001). However, no significant differences were found in between groups comparison at study end (p > 0.05), with no significant interaction between groups and times (p > 0.05). Absolute changes from baseline to eight-week follow-up were not significantly different between HD and ICI (p > 0.05). In the short term, HD alone demonstrates strong efficacy in managing FS, matching the effectiveness of ICI.

description: The existing study focuses on the development, optimization, and evaluation of sorafenib-loaded polymeric nanomicelles for posterior segment delivery in treating retinoblastoma. The formulation involved adjusting various process and product parameters to create effective drug-loaded polymeric nanomicelles. The particle size, PDI, and zeta potential of optimized formulation were found to be 65.52 ± 1.18 nm, 0.14 ± 0.01, and −3.26 ± 0.66 mV, respectively. The entrapment efficiency and drug release were estimated to be 98.84% ± 0.001 and 99.99% in 6 h, respectively. Additionally, the optimized formulation demonstrated acceptable outcomes for solid-state analysis, osmolality, pH, residual solvent, and morphological properties. After 8 h, the ex vivo transcleral permeation and scleral deposition were 629.05 ± 124.11 ng/cm2 and 4.10 ± 0.54 µg, respectively. Y-79 (human retinoblastoma) cell line study using standard drug, test drug, and optimized formulation revealed anticancer potential at all time points (6, 12, 18, and 24 h) with comparable IC50 values. Furthermore, the optimized formulation exhibited no toxicity on the ARPE-19 (human retinal pigmented epithelium) cell line over 24 h. The optimized formulation was non-irritating to the eye (HET-CAM) and remained stable for 6 months. Thus, drug delivery to the posterior eye segment for the treatment of retinoblastoma appears to be possible with the help of established technology.

description: Trotz der Reformen des psychiatrischen Versorgungssystems lebt ein Großteil chronisch psychisch erkrankter Menschen weiterhin in stationären Einrichtungen. Ihre Erfahrungen stehen im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit. Anhand von fünf leitfadengestützten Interviews mit psychisch erkrankten Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern eines Wohnheims werden die Einflüsse bzw. Einschränkungen und Auswirkungen der institutionellen Lebensbedingungen herausgearbeitet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Leben der Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern durch die Unterbringung in einem Wohnheim entscheidend geprägt wird. Die Institution als Ort pflegerischer Versorgung von Menschen mit psychischen Erkrankungen ist durch ein hohes Maß an Fremdbestimmung gekennzeichnet. In zahlreichen Bereichen unterliegt das Leben der interviewten Personen erheblichen Restriktionen. Die Fremdbestimmung führt bei ihnen zum Abbau von Fähigkeiten zur autonomen Lebensführung und zu Problemen beim Entwurf einer eigenständigen biographischen Konstruktion. Nach Einschätzung der Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern tragen die Pflegenden die fremdbestimmenden, institutionellen Strukturen mit und werden als nicht Autonomie fördernd wahrgenommen.

description: BACKGROUND: General Practice setting in the Primary Health Care Services are the utmost visited by the public. It is important that the nurses' competencies in this area be assessed to ensure provision of safe and quality services. AIM/OBJECTIVE: To explore perceptions and experiences of competencies assessment tool for community health nurses working at the General Practice setting in the Primary Health Care Services. METHODS: An exploratory qualitative study utilizing focus group discussions were conducted on purposive sample of 12 officers with expertise in competency assessment and community health nursing from higher nursing education institutions, the Nursing Training and Development Centre, the Nursing Board and the Community Health Nursing Services in Brunei Darussalam. The existing competencies assessment tool was revised, the participants were divided into two groups of expert panel review team and two focus group discussions were held with each team. The focus group discussions encompassed components and methods of assessment; methods of grading; and overall organization and structure of the revised competency assessment tool. FINDINGS: Four themes emerged: 1) International equivalent core competencies components; 2) Multi-methods approach to assessment; 3) Definitive guidelines as framework for assessment; and 4) Understanding and acceptability of the competency assessment tool. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS TO PRACTICE: The expert panel reviews provide practical input that were inculcated in the preliminary developed competencies assessment tool. Identification of eligible assessors were recommended based on standardized criteria, and socialization and training held to set direction and guidance for implementing the utilization of the competencies assessment tool. Further studies are deemed important to critically evaluate and validate the preliminary competencies assessment tool for development of a more robust assessment instrument.
Orpheus in a Gray Flannel Suit: George Nolfi's The Adjustment Bureau (2011)
Creators: name: Easton, Seán
Publisher: name: Palgrave Macmillan
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Classical literature

description: The myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, as told in Ovid's Metamorphoses, serves as a template for George Nolfi's story about the tensions surrounding fulfillment in private versus public life. A romance-thriller with science fiction overtones, the film is a loose adaptation of Philip K. Dick's short story, The Adjustment Team. In Nolfi's version, supernatural agents work to adjust the experiences of individual lives in accordance with the wishes of the divine 'Chairman', who writes the plans that determine human lives. Ovid's version, together with 20th century film adaptations of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth, inform this story of love, loss, and dedication to goals against the interrogation of one's own values and desires.

Fused deposition modeling, combined with hot-melt extrusion (HME), was used to produce hollow heart-shaped dual-loaded tablets in which the two APIs were spatially separated with an intermediate API-free layer. Water-soluble hydroxypropyl methylcellulose of varying molecular weights was used as the primary polymer for HME. The incorporation of a processability-improving polymer, such as polycaprolactone, was necessary to facilitate the printing of these delicate geometries and lower the printing temperature. The 3D-printed tablets contained the therapeutic doses of both APIs; however, further optimization of manufacturing processes is required to improve drug content uniformity. The drug release from the printed tablets was sustained, with complete release of CAR observed after 24 h, demonstrating the suitability of the designed drug products for oral delivery.

description: Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) adversely affects women’s reproductive health outcomes but to what extent women’s justification of IPV affects maternal health care service utilization is unexplored. Methods: The secondary cross-sectional datasets from multiple indicator cluster surveys of Afghanistan, Bhutan, Nepal and Pakistan conducted between 2010 and 2015 were used. We used a generalized linear mixed model with random effects, at both cluster- and country-level, to determine the odds ratio of maternal health service utilization at the regional level and a multivariable logistic regression model adjusting for complex survey design at the country level. Interaction between women’s justification of IPV and residential location, and linear trend in the utilization of maternal health care services associated with increasing levels of women's justification of IPV, were examined using the Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT). Results: A total of 26,029 women aged 15–49 years, living with their partners and had a pregnancy outcome 2 years prior to the survey were included. Women justifying IPV were less likely to utilize contraceptive methods (aOR) = 0.86, 95% CI 0.84, 0.88), at-least one Antenatal Care (ANC) visit (aOR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.72, 0.88), four or more ANC services (aOR = 0.81, 95% CI 0.76, 0.86), institutional delivery (aOR = 0.87, 95% CI 0.80, 0.94) and Post-natal Care (aOR = 0.76, 95% CI 0.62, 0.95) services. A decreasing linear trend was observed for four or more ANC visits (LRT P = 0.96) and institutional delivery (LRT P = 0.80) with increasing levels of IPV justification. Women justifying IPV were less likely to have at least one ANC visit in urban (aOR 0.67, 95% CI 0.60, 0.75) compared to rural areas (aOR 0.83, 95% CI 0.73, 0.94). Conclusions: Women’s justification of IPV was associated with decreased odds of utilizing a wide range of maternal health care services at the regional level. Although further research that may help establish a causal link is important before formulating public health interventions, our study indicates interventions targeting women’s condoning attitude toward IPV, delivered sooner rather than later, could potentially help to improve women’s utilization of essential maternal health care services in the South Asian region that comprises Afghanistan, Bhutan, Nepal, and Pakistan.

description: Dengue fever (DF) is endemic to Makkah and Jeddah, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). However, until recently, the circulation of dengue virus (DENV) in Aedes mosquitoes in these areas was unknown. Serological surveillance of DENV in Ae aegypti is a powerful tool for early detection of dengue outbreaks and essential for developing effective control strategies. Therefore, this research aimed to examine a sample of adult Ae aegypti mosquitoes from Makkah, KSA, to detect DENV. In total, 1295 Ae aegypti mosquitoes were collected from the field from target areas of Makkah with a high incidence and prevalence of DF. The samples were divided into 259 coded pools (five mosquitoes in each) and preserved in 1.5 mL plastic tubes. The tubes were labeled, capped, and stored at−86°C until use. RT-PCR was used to detect DENV in the samples. All positive pools were confirmed by RT-PCR. The RT-PCR products were analyzed by gel electrophoresis (1.5% agarose in Tris-acetate EDTA buffer), stained with ethidium bromide, and visualized. DENV was isolated from six female Ae Aegypti collected from six pools (out of 259 pools). No other viruses were detected. Only five of the nine target localities had positive pools. Samples from the remaining four localities yielded negative results. Four DENV-positive mosquitoes were collected at the aquatic stages, and two were collected at the adult stage. These results show the circulation of DENV in adult mosquitoes and offspring, indicating vertical transmission of DENV. In conclusion, this study found that, in Makkah, DENV is circulating in dengue vectors with a high significance rate, suggesting the possibility of a dengue outbreak in the future; therefore, a sensitive surveillance system is vital to predict the outbreak and for early intervention and control.

description: The present study examined the thematic composition and temporal evolution of social psychology through a co-citation network analysis of 80,350 articles published from 1970 through 2022. Six primary thematic clusters were identified: a broad “Classic Social Psychology” cluster most prominent in the 1970s and 1980s; “Traits & Affect” and “Social Cognition” clusters most influential in the 1990s; and “The Self,” “Intergroup Relations,” and “Big Five” clusters emerging after 2000. A small seventh cluster dedicated to COVID-19 and conspiracy theories emerged around 2021. These trends fit a narrative of generational shifts within distinct social and personality psychology traditions.

description: Hyperspectral data sets generated by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) contain valuable spatial-spectral information characterizing the distribution of atomic and molecular species across a sample surface. Modern ToF-SIMS instruments have high spatial resolution (in the order of tens of nanometers) relative to most other mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) techniques. However, there is generally a trade-off between spatial and mass resolution when using different instrument modes. In this study, a convolutional neural network (CNN) fusion method is used to fuse correlated high spatial and high mass resolution ToF-SIMS hyperspectral data sets. This process generates resolution-enhanced data, which exhibit both high spatial and mass resolution. The CNN fusion method is applied to ToF-SIMS images of a simple, well-characterized gold mesh sample and a significantly more complex biological (tumor) tissue section. The method is compared to another linear fusion method used in the broader MSI community and a substantial improvement is found. This comparison focuses on both visual quality observations as well as statistical similarity measures. This work demonstrates the utility of the CNN fusion method for ToF-SIMS data, enabling investigation of the atomic and molecular characteristics of surfaces at high spatial and mass spectral resolution.
