Development and testing of a micro wind tunnel for on-site wind erosion simulations [PDF]

, 2016
Wind erosion processes affect soil surfaces across all land uses worldwide. Understanding the spatial and temporal scales of wind erosion is a challenging undertaking because these processes are diverse and highly variable.

A Two‐Stage Questionnaire and Actigraphy Screening for iRBD in a Multicenter Retrospective Cohort

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Isolated rapid‐eye‐movement sleep behavior disorder is a prodromal marker of synucleinopathies. However, most cases remain undiagnosed due to the insufficient predictive value of questionnaires and limited access to confirmatory video‐polysomnography. We assessed a two‐stage screening strategy combining a brief questionnaire on rapid‐

Modelling rain drop impact on offshore wind turbine blades [PDF]

, 2012
The effects of rain and hail erosion and impact damage on the leading edge of offshore wind turbine blades have been investigated. A literature review was conducted to establish the effects of exposure to these conditions and also to investigate the ...

Arterial Spin‐Labeling MRI at the Cortical‐CSF Interface: A Novel Biomarker in Alzheimer Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objective Arterial spin‐labeling (ASL) MRI can measure perfusion signal adjacent to CSF spaces and may provide information regarding CSF‐adjacent water transport physiology. We developed an automated pipeline to extract cortical‐CSF interface (IF) perfusion for comparison between Alzheimer disease (AD) and cognitively normal ...

Temporal Divergence of True and False Alarms in Pediatric Nocturnal Seizure Monitoring

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
The early‐morning surge in false seizure alarms supports exploring time‐ or state‐dependent detection thresholds to reduce false detections. ABSTRACT Seizure detection devices can improve the safety of children with epilepsy, yet high false alarms limit their clinical applicability.

Study and evaluation method of concrete erosion under a wind–sand flow load

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Many concrete buildings and infrastructures in sandstorm areas are subjected to years of sand and wind erosion. Wind erosion will damage the concrete, affect the structure durability, and even affect the safety of the structure in severe cases.

Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.
