Spatial-temporal variations of stroke mortality worldwide from 2000 to 2021 by Siyi Xing, Xiaoliang Chen, Hong Zhu, Xinmei Li, Ge Zhang, Jie Li

“…Results The result showed that ① From 2000 to 2021, the number of stroke deaths increased worldwide, but the AMSR due to stroke showed a downward trend; ② The spatial distribution of the global AMSR due to stroke varies across geographic regions. with the highest in Asia and southern Africa, and the lowest in Europe and North America; ③ The spatial pattern of hot and cold spots of AMSR due to stroke remained relatively stable from 2000 to 2021, with the greatest changes in Africa and Asia; ④ Generally, countries belong to higher economic groups have lower stroke mortality rate, and this pattern persisted throughout the study period. …”

Theory-Driven EEG Indexes for Tracking Motor Recovery and Predicting the Effects of Hybridizing tDCS With Mirror Therapy in Stroke Patients by Chia-Lun Liu, Ken-Hsien Su, Yi-Shiung Horng, Chia-Ling Chen, Shou-Hsien Huang, Ching-Yi Wu

“…Three months after training, only the premotor tDCS group maintained the gains in FMA, with these improvements correlated with the EEG indexes. Again, this pattern was specific to premotor tDCS. Since the gating-by-inhibition model suggests that EEG index reflects an individual’s psychomotor efficiency, we also found that the baseline EEG index could predict FMA retention. …”

Integration Method with Backpropagation by Nidhal AL-Assady, Jamal Majeed, Shahbaa Khaleel

“…In this research, a new method is discovered (combined method) to accelerate the backpropagation network by using the expected values of source units for updating weights, we mean the expected value of unit by the sum of the output of the unit and its error term multiplied by the factor Beta to accelerate the algorithm and also adjust the value of learning coefficient continuously if the value of energy function E decreases the learning rate is increased by a factor , if the value of the energy function E increases , the value of the learning rate is decreased by a factor . …”

Experimental Study on the Effect of Freezing and Thawing on the Shear Strength of the Frozen Soil in Qinghai-Tibet Railway Embankment by B. Wang, J. H. Gao, Y. Q. Wang, X. J. Quan, Y. W. Gong, S. W. Zhou

“…After freezing-thawing action, it deserves to be mentioned that the cohesion increases slightly while the internal friction angles present a slight decrease trend compared to the initial state. (2) With the decrease in temperature and the gradual increase in cohesion, the temperature curve can be divided into a fast-growing section from 0 to −2°C, a slow-growing section from −2 to −8°C, and a second fast-growing section from −8 to −10°C owing to the combined effect of the pressure-thawing action and ice-water phase change. In addition, the rate of decrease in the internal friction angle also shows a similar pattern. (3) The cohesion and the internal friction angle of samples both tend to increase first and then decrease with the rise of the initial moisture content, and the critical initial moisture content is near the optimal moisture content of 15%. (4) Both the cohesion and the internal friction angle of the samples increase with dry density growth. …”
