Holocene East Asian Summer Monsoon Variation Recorded by Sensitive Grain Size Component from the Pearl River-Derived Mud in the Northern South China Sea

Lithosphere, 2022
To better understand the environmental significance of sediment grain size in continental shelf of the South China Sea (SCS), we carried out a detailed grain size study of sediments from the YJ Core, derived from the mud deposits of the northern SCS ...

Forensic Facial Comparison: Current Status, Limitations, and Future Directions

Biology, 2021
Global escalation of crime has necessitated the use of digital imagery to aid the identification of perpetrators. Forensic facial comparison (FFC) is increasingly employed, often relying on poor-quality images.

Consequences of anthropogenic activities and beach dynamics on vertical distribution of microplastics in the mid-intertidal sediments of Donghai Island, China

Water Science and Technology, 2022
Microplastic accumulation and resulting degradation are significant threats to the coastal ecosystems around the world. Baseline information on microplastics and their sources is of great importance for a permanent waste management system.

Contrasting the Impacts of Intraseasonal Oscillations on Yangtze Precipitation during the Summer of 1998 and 2016

Atmosphere, 2023
In 1998 and 2016, boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (BSISO) could reach the middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin (YRB), leading to extreme precipitation.

Network-assisted analysis of GWAS data identifies a functionally-relevant gene module for childhood-onset asthma

Scientific Reports, 2017
The number of genetic factors associated with asthma remains limited. To identify new genes with an undetected individual effect but collectively influencing asthma risk, we conducted a network-assisted analysis that integrates outcomes of genome-wide ...

Response of Total Suspended Sediment and Chlorophyll-a Concentration to Late Autumn Typhoon Events in the Northwestern South China Sea

Remote Sensing, 2021
Strong typhoon winds enhance turbulent mixing, which induces sediment to resuspend and to promote chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) blooms in the continental shelf areas.

The removal of atmospheric aerosols in a heavy industrial coastal city in China with frequent rainfall

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Rapid urbanization and heavy industrialization generally result in serious aerosol pollution. Contrary to this conventional wisdom, Zhanjiang, one industrial city in the southernmost point of the Chinese mainland, is not accompanied by aerosol pollution ...

Variational Methods [PDF]

, 2015
This contribution presents derivative-based methods for local sensitivity analysis, called Variational Sensitivity Analysis (VSA). If one defines an output called the response function, its sensitivity to inputs variations around a nominal value can be studied using derivative (gradient) information.

Functional brain network mechanism of executive control dysfunction in temporal lobe epilepsy

BMC Neurology, 2020
Background Executive control dysfunction is observed in a sizable number of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Neural oscillations in the theta band are increasingly recognized as having a crucial role in executive control network.
