Temporal coding carries more stable cortical visual representations than firing rate over time by Hanlin Zhu, Fei He, Pavlo Zolotavin, Saumil Patel, Andreas S. Tolias, Lan Luan, Chong Xie

“…However, previous studies report varying degrees of gradual neural activity changes over time in slow dynamic (1-5 seconds) firing rate code. Here we show that temporal codes, which capture structures in visually evoked fast (tens of milliseconds) spiking patterns, support the stability of visual representations. …”

Lethality level casualty assessment method for earthquake landslide hazards based on the expansion effect of the mortality rate by Xia Chaoxu, Qi Wenhua, Li Huayue, Nie Gaozhong

“…Through analysis of historical earthquake records, we determined the proportions of fatalities attributed to different causes, integrating seismic intensity data, population distribution information, to establish intensity-dependent mortality rates for earthquake-triggered landslides. We systematically compiled the spatial distribution patterns, occurrence frequency, and density characteristics of landslides induced by historical earthquakes through field surveys and literature analysis. …”

A novel deep learning approach for predicting stone-free rates post-ESWL on uncontrasted CT by Ozgur Efiloglu, Muhammed Yildirim, Kadir Yildirim, Harun Bingol, Mustafa Kaan Akalin, Meftun Culpan, Bilal Alatas, Asif Yildirim

“…In our work, we sought to assess the efficacy of the artificial intelligence model developed using non-contrast computed tomography (CT) images in predicting stone-free rates for ESWL. The main difference between this study and other studies is that it proposes an artificial intelligence-based model that predicts the success of ESWL treatment using artificial intelligence methods. …”
