Technological advances in the assessment and understanding of speech and language within the domains of automatic speech recognition, natural language processing, and machine learning present a remarkable opportunity for psychologists to learn more about human thought and communication, evaluate a variety of clinical conditions, and predict cognitive and psychological states. These innovations can ...

Earth's transient climate response (TCR) quantifies the global mean surface air temperature change due to a doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration after 70 years of a compounding 1% per year increase. TCR is highly correlated with near-term climate projections, and thus of relevance for climate policy, but remains poorly constrained in part due to uncertainties in the representation of key ...

We study the growth of the number of conjugacy classes of infinite dihedral subgroups of lattices in PSL₂ R, generalizing the earlier work of Sarnak [9] and Bourgain–Kontorovich [4] on the growth of the number of reciprocal geodesics on the modular surface. We also prove that reciprocal geodesics are equidistributed in the unit tangent bundle.

Fjord systems are among the most productive and best described of Arctic marine habitats. Contributing substantially to that overall productivity, spring phytoplankton blooms are one of the most important features of fjord systems and of mid- and high-latitude oceans in general. Understanding specific mechanisms that control the timing, magnitude, and composition of these blooms is among the most ...

Purpose: To investigate the influence of menstrual-cycle (MC) phase on objective sleep and perceived recovery following high- (HIT) and low-intensity training (LIT) in endurance-trained women. Methods: Fifteen naturally menstruating, endurance-trained women completed standardized HIT and LIT sessions during the early follicular phase (EFP), ovulatory phase (OP), and midluteal phase (MLP) of 2 MCs. ...

Introduction. The role of molecular classification and L1CAM in high-risk endometrial cancer is uncertain. We aimed to determine the association of molecular profiling and L1CAM with patterns of relapse and survival.<p> <p>Material and methods. This retrospective cohort study included patients referred to Department for Gynecologic Oncology, Oslo University Hospital between January 1, 2006 and ...

Continuous professional development (CPD) refers to the ongoing process by which healthcare professionals maintain, refine, and broaden their knowledge, skills, and competencies throughout their careers. CPD is essential for safe patient care. A recent systematic review revealed significant variations in both the requirements for CPD and the methods used to evaluate the outcome of CPD.1 In certain ...

Background/Aim: Blood tests, such as those included in the validated LabBM score (laboratory parameters in patients with brain metastases) predict survival after treatment of brain metastases. The model incorporates five test results [serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, platelets and hemoglobin]. However, many other abnormalities, albeit less well-studied, may be ...

Understanding and predicting species range shifts is crucial for conservation amid global warming. This study analyzes life-history traits of four seal species (ringed (Pusa hispida (Schreber, 1775)), bearded (Erignathus barbatus (Erxleben, 1777)), harp (Pagophilus groenlandicus (Erxleben, 1777)), and harbour (Phoca vitulina Linnaeus, 1758) seals) in the Canadian Arctic using data from Inuit subsistence ...

Domain generalisation in computational histopathology is challenging because the images are substantially affected by differences among hospitals due to factors like f ixation and staining of tissue and imaging equipment. We hypothesise that focusing on nuclei can improve the out-of-domain (OOD) generalisation in cancer detection. Wepropose a simple approach to improve OOD generalisation for cancer ...
