New techniques for old bones: Morphometric and diffeomorphometric analysis of the bony labyrinth of the Reilingen and Ehringsdorf Neandertals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

Collapse potential and ultrasonic pulse velocity of loess soils after treatment with expanded perlite and metakaolin

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2023
Collapsible soils, including loess, can support heavy loads at their natural humidity but then collapse rapidly and lose a substantial volume when the humidity increases. Soil collapse potential at different immersion stresses was investigated according

Prediction of Relapse and Glucocorticoid Dependence in Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis: Findings From a Large European Cohort

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a small vessel vasculitis characterized by eosinophilia, asthma, and ear, nose, and throat (ENT) involvement. Although glucocorticoids (GCs) are effective in controlling symptoms, relapses and GC dependence are common. The aim of this study was to develop predictive models for vasculitis

Loess as a collapsible soil: Some basic particle packing aspects [PDF]

, 2017
Loess is the most important collapsible soil; possibly the only engineering soil in which real collapse occurs. A real collapse involves a diminution in volume - it would be an open metastable packing being reduced to a more closely packed, more stable ...

Pharmacokinetic‐pharmacodynamic modelling of risankizumab using chronic plaque psoriasis real‐world data

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Risankizumab is a high‐cost biologic treatment for chronic plaque psoriasis, an immune‐mediated inflammatory disease presenting with painful red scaly skin lesions. Inter‐individual heterogeneity in treatment response may be better addressed with personalised rather than fixed dosing. We sought to develop a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (

Mechanical characteristics of loess under seepage shear

工程科学学报, 2018
In the recent years, an increasing number of loess landslides were triggered due to extreme climate. The initiation of loess landslides was related to water, including surface water and groundwater, landform, geologic structure, and other factors.

Loess records

Loess is an eolian deposit, composed mainly of silt grains, which can be identified in the field as a distinct sedimentary body. It covers a significant portion of the land surface of the Earth and is one of the most important terrestrial archives of long-term dust deposition.

Compositional loess modeling [PDF]

, 2011
Cleveland (1979) is usually credited with the introduction of the locally weighted regression, Loess. The concept was further developed by Cleveland and Devlin (1988). The general idea is that for an arbitrary number of explanatory data points xi the value of a dependent variable is estimated ^yi.

Population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling to evaluate favipiravir in combination with lopinavir–ritonavir in patients with COVID‐19

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims The repurposed use of favipiravir in COVID‐19 has been reported to have limited clinical efficacy, yet it has been widely used in some countries. Favipiravir causes mutagenesis in RNA viruses, and it is currently unknown whether it may have a measurable effect on the virus in humans.
