Amazon Rainforest Exchange of Carbon and Subcanopy Air Flow: Manaus LBA Site—A Complex Terrain Condition by Julio Tóta, David Roy Fitzjarrald, Maria A. F. da Silva Dias

“…We tested the hypothesis that horizontal drainage flow over this study area is significant and can affect the interpretation of the high carbon uptake rates reported by previous works at this site. A similar experimental design as the one by Tóta et al. (2008) was used with a network of wind, air temperature, and CO2 sensors above and below the forest canopy. …”

New Programming Modes of Spinal Cord Stimulation for Chronic Pain: A Systematic Review of Outcomes with Burst and High-Frequency Technology by Jeffrey J. Bergman, Derrick A. Dupré, Nestor D. Tomycz

“…Burst SCS and HF10 SCS have been subjected to randomized controlled studies and have used similar patient pain score reporting on a visual analog scale (VAS) and numeric rating scale (NRS). Results from these studies have reported significant reductions in axial back pain and limb pain in patients sustained for up 20 months with burst SCS treatment and up to 36 months with HF10 SCS. …”

I-AIR: intention-aware travel itinerary recommendation via multi-signal fusion and spatiotemporal constraints by Xiao Cui, Zhihua Wang, Ping Li, Qiang Xu

“…Additionally, many approaches decouple POI selection from itinerary construction and depend heavily on limited behavioral signals, failing to capture richer feedback such as ratings, dwell times, or click histories. To address these limitations, we propose an intention-aware deep learning framework that integrates diverse user signals into a unified itinerary planning model. …”

The Ethical Significance of Brain-Computer Interfaces as Enablers of Communication by Toma Gruica

“…Intracortical BCIs, by contrast, can restore communicative capacity by directly decoding neural signals associated with intended speech or movement.[5] One landmark study documented an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patient who, after entering CLIS, learned to use an implanted BCI speller to construct sentences at a rate of approximately one character per minute. The patient’s communications ranged from the mundane, such as requesting music, to expressions of existential significance involving care preferences.[6] Importantly, when researchers were asked how they would respond if the patient spelled “unplug my ventilator,” they emphatically stated that BCI output would not determine decisions regarding life support withdrawal. …”
