How is a global sensitivity analysis of a catchment-scale, distributed pesticide transfer model performed? Application to the PESHMELBA model [PDF]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2023
Pesticide transfers in agricultural catchments are responsible for diffuse but major risks to water quality. Spatialized pesticide transfer models are useful tools to assess the impact of the structure of the landscape on water quality.

Synthetic MRI for Radiotherapy Planning for Brain and Prostate Cancers: Phantom Validation and Patient Evaluation

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
PurposeWe aimed to evaluate the accuracy of T1 and T2 mappings derived from a multispectral pulse sequence (magnetic resonance image compilation, MAGiC®) on 1.5-T MRI and with conventional sequences [gradient echo with variable flip angle (GRE-VFA) and ...

Impact of ploidy and pathogen life cycle on resistance durability

open access: yesPeer Community Journal, 2021
The breeding of resistant hosts based on the gene-for-gene interaction is crucial to address epidemics of plant pathogens in agroecosystems. Resistant host deployment strategies are developed and studied worldwide to decrease the probability of ...

Mapping the drivers of uncertainty in atmospheric selenium deposition with global sensitivity analysis [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020
An estimated 0.5–1 billion people globally have inadequate intakes of selenium (Se), due to a lack of bioavailable Se in agricultural soils. Deposition from the atmosphere, especially through precipitation, is an important source of Se to soils. However,

The Gaussian Process Modeling Module in UQLab [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Soft Computing in Civil Engineering, 2018
We introduce the Gaussian process (GP) modeling module developed within the UQLab software framework. The novel design of the GP-module aims at providing seamless integration of GP modeling into any uncertainty quantification workflow, as well as a ...

Branching Quantification v. Two-way Quantification [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Semantics, 2009
We discuss the thesis formulated by Hintikka (1973) that certain natural language sentences require non-linear quantification to express their meaning. We investigate sentences with combinations of quantifiers similar to Hintikka's examples and propose a novel alternative reading expressible by linear formulae.

Visual quantification of prostaglandin E2 discharge from a single cell

open access: yesCell Structure and Function, 2023
Calcium transients drive cells to discharge prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). We visualized PGE2-induced protein kinase A (PKA) activation and quantitated PGE2 secreted from a single cell by combining fluorescence microscopy and a simulation model.

Side-By-Side Evaluation of Three Commercial ELISAs for the Quantification of SARS-CoV-2 IgG Antibodies

open access: yesViruses, 2022
In December 2020, WHO presented the first international standard (WHO IS) for anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin. This standard is intended to serve as a reference reagent against which serological tests can be calibrated, thus creating better comparability ...
