Probability prediction of true‐triaxial compressive strength of intact rocks based on the improved PSO‐RVM model

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
In this work, we propose an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and develop an improved PSO‐relevance vector machine (RVM) model as a substitute for traditional true‐triaxial testing. The model's high prediction accuracy was validated through comparisons with two other machine learning methods and five three‐dimensional Hoek–Brown type

Quantification of rheological parameters in deep‐sea mining plumes

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study explores the variations in rheological properties observed during the propagation of deep‐sea mining plumes, utilizing rheological test data obtained from kaolin clay plumes. Subsequently, taking into account the differences in sediment properties, the effects of clay content and clay mineral composition on the rheological parameters of ...

Mosaic activation of the zebrafish hsp70l heat shock promoter: Implications for interpreting transgenes

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The promoters and enhancers of heat shock genes, such as the 1.5‐kb promoter of the zebrafish hsp70l gene, are valuable tools for temporal activation of transgenes. It has been widely purported that heat shock treatments result in ubiquitous expression of hsp70l‐driven transgenes.

Geodiversity is an inseparable but underutilized aspect of ecological connectivity assessments under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Conservation has shifted towards a climate change adaptation approach in which expected species range shifts are increasingly considered to mitigate effects of climate change and habitat fragmentation on biodiversity. As part of this, ecological connectivity needs to be ensured to support gene flow and viable populations in the face of changing ...

Conflicting Emotions, Environmental and Political Factors in Support for Local Environmental Morality Policies: Evidence From an Experiment on Wild Boars in Haifa

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Can emotional responses help explain public support for local environmental morality policies? As cities increasingly contend with complex interspecies conflicts in densely populated urban settings, understanding the drivers of policy support becomes essential.

Policymakers' Perceptions of the Use of Deliberative Mini‐Publics to Support Sustainability Policies

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deliberative mini‐publics (DMPs) have emerged as a novel method to deepen public participation in complex and contentious policy decisions, such as those related to sustainability transformations. Despite an increasing interest in applying DMPs in environmental governance, little is known about policymakers' expectations regarding their ...

The difficult discussion on the deactivation of implantable cardioverter devices at the end of life: a systematic review

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 733-760, April 2025.
Abstract Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reliably prevent death due to life‐threatening arrhythmias; this may become less relevant in people with more severe heart failure who are reaching the end of life (EOL). This review aimed to explore the ICD deactivation process and identify ethical issues, especially around the initiation of ...

Microstructure imaging in patients undergoing evaluation for epilepsy surgery or low‐grade glioma: Clinical utility of a novel diffusion MRI method

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To investigate a recently developed MRI technique for mapping the Mean Diffusivity of Tissue (MDT), which improves diffusion MRI imaging of the cerebral cortex by reducing partial volume effects from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). As cortical lesions are common in patients with focal epilepsy, we explored the clinical value of MDT ...
