Stop Using Limiting Stimuli as a Measure of Sensitivities of Energetic Materials
ABSTRACT Accurately estimating the sensitivity of explosive materials is a potentially life‐saving task that requires standardised protocols across nations. One of the most widely applied procedures worldwide is the so‐called ‘1‐In‐6’ test from the United Nations (UN) Manual of Tests in Criteria, which estimates a ‘limiting stimulus’ for a material. In

Isotonic regression on permutations
Motivated by an approach to qualifying potential judges, we study isotonic regression problems on a partially ordered set of permutations. We consider the partial orders discussed in Block, Chhetry, Fang and Sampson (1990) which are used for comparing the dependence of bivariate empirical distributions with fixed marginals. We give a method to generate

ABSTRACT Background The inflammatory response to whole‐body ischemia, as seen in comatose survivors after out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Early high‐dose dexamethasone may dampen the inflammatory response, which may diminish secondary brain damage and other organ injury and decrease mortality.

ABSTRACT Background Hemodynamic management after out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is critical, yet the impact of vasopressor‐driven mean arterial pressure (MAP) targets on pulmonary circulation and right ventricular (RV) function remains unclear.

PostForecasts.jl: A Julia package for probabilistic forecasting by postprocessing point predictions
Postprocessing of point predictions is a relatively simple and efficient way to compute probabilistic forecasts, which are the basis of uncertainty assessment for decision support and risk management.

Abstract Purpose To investigate changes in choroidal and retinal thickness before and during myopia control treatment with orthokeratology lenses (OKL) in myopic children. Methods This was a sub‐study of CONTROL and CONTROL2 studies. The present study was a 2‐year, prospective, single‐group interventional study consisting of a 6‐month pre‐treatment ...

Levetiracetam inhibits the Na+ HCO3− transporter Ncbe/NBCn2 (Slc4a10) in the choroid plexus of mice
ABSTRACT Aim The Na+‐dependent Cl−/HCO3− exchanger Ncbe/NBCn2 (Slc4a10) constitutes a major basolateral HCO3− uptake pathway in the choroid plexus and contributes to cerebrospinal fluid secretion and pH regulation. This study examined whether levetiracetam inhibits Ncbe/NBCn2‐mediated transport and alters cerebrospinal fluid acid–base balance ...
