Shedding New Light on Cutaneous Horns: A Comprehensive Review and Pitfall of Management by Leo Wan, Aileen Park, Kamran Arastu, Amor Khachemoune

“…As the identification of the underlying aetiology necessitates microscopic examination of the base of the cutaneous horn, a major potential pitfall in the diagnosis and management of these lesions lies in the use of improper biopsy technique, which leads to inadequate sampling and failure to correctly identify the underlying aetiology of the lesion. …”

An Information Geometric Perspective on the Complexity of Macroscopic Predictions Arising from Incomplete Information by Sean Alan Ali, Carlo Cafaro, Steven Gassner, Adom Giffin

“…In this manuscript, we discuss several illustrative examples wherein our modeling scheme is employed to infer macroscopic predictions when only partial knowledge of the microscopic nature of a given system is available. Finally, we include comments on the strengths and weaknesses of the current version of our proposed theoretical scheme in our concluding remarks.…”

Risk-averse estimates of effective properties in heterogeneous elasticity by Bleyer, Jeremy

“…In this work, we propose a theoretical framework for computing pessimistic and optimistic estimates of effective properties in the case of heterogeneous elastic materials with uncertain microscopic elastic properties. We rely on a risk-averse measure widely used in finance called the conditional-value at risk (CVaR). …”

Annexin A5–Functionalized Nanoparticle for Multimodal Imaging of Cell Death by Rui Zhang, Miao Huang, Min Zhou, Xiaoxia Wen, Qian Huang, Chun Li

“…Moreover, the radioactive signal from 111 In-labeled annexin A5–CCPM colocalized with its fluorescence signal, and both signals were confined to regions of dying cells. 111 In-labeled annexin A5–CCPM allows visualization of cell death by both nuclear and optical techniques at the whole-body level as well as at the microscopic level. It has the potential to aid the diagnosis of disease states or tissue responses involving abnormal cell death.…”

THE INTRINSIC FATIGUE THRESHOLD OF 25CR2NI2MOV STEEL by SHEN XueCheng, DU YanNan, ZHU MingLiang, HUANG YuHui, XUAN FuZhen

“…Fatigue crack growth tests of 25 Cr2 Ni2 MoV steel with two different heat treatments（550℃× 20 h,580℃× 20 h） were conducted at stress ratios R of 0.1,0.3,0.5 and 0.7,and the fatigue threshold,△K_th,and microscopic mechanism were investigated.Results showed that △K_th increased with the decrease of R,and the heat treatment had varied effects on △K_thunder lower R,while it had less effect under higher R.Fracture morphology observation showed that there existed a large number of facet morphology under lower R,while the facet morphology was gradually reduced with the increase of R.Additionally,the percentage of facet morphology followed a parabolic pattern with △K.It is indicated that R and heat treatment are important influencing factors on △K_th.The crack growth at higher R has weak effect of crack closure,representing the fatigue resistance of the material,and thus can be regarded as the intrinsic property of the material which can be estimated by the proposed model.…”
