Optimal group and individual prenatal care visit patterns and preterm birth by Moonseong Heo, Jessica L. Britt, Lu Zhang, Emily A. Doherty, Amy H. Crockett

“…Results Overall, > 7 visits during pregnancy (OR = 0.58, 95%CI: 0.43–0.79, p < .001), > 3 visits in the third trimester (OR = 0.42, 95%CI: 0.30–0.57, p < .001), > 2.25 care hours during pregnancy (OR = 0.67, 95%CI: 0.49–0.92, p = .014), > 0.75 care hours during the third trimester (OR = 0.50, 95%CI: 0.37, 0.67, p < .001), and > 147 days in care (OR = 0.41, 95%CI: 0.30–0.56, p < .001) were all significantly associated with lower PTB rates. A minimum care gap of > 21 days was associated with higher PTB (aOR = 2.87, 95%CI: 1.76–4.69, p < .001) and discontinuation of care before the third trimester was the strongest correlate of PTB (aOR = 12.6, 95%CI: 6.5–24.5), p < .001) in terms of aOR compared to that of all the other pattern variables. …”

Pattern Dynamics in a Spatial Predator-Prey System with Allee Effect by Gui-Quan Sun, Li Li, Zhen Jin, Zi-Ke Zhang, Tao Zhou

“…Our results indicate that predator mortality plays an important role in the pattern formation of populations. More specifically, as predator mortality rate increases, coexistence of spotted and stripe patterns, stripe patterns, spotted patterns, and spiral wave emerge successively. …”

Research progress on damage-associated molecular patterns in acute kidney injury by Jiajia Li, Zhangxue Hu

“…Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by a sudden dysfunction of the kidney, which is common worldwide, with a relatively high incidence and mortality rate. Damage to the proximal renal tubule is a pathological hallmark of AKI, and inflammation triggered by the overactivation of the immune system is a common cause of proximal renal tubular injury, which is an important contributing factor in AKI exacerbation. …”

Inverted LSB image steganography using adaptive pattern to improve imperceptibility by Supriadi Rustad, De Rosal Ignatius Moses Setiadi, Abdul Syukur, Pulung Nurtantio Andono

“…Before embedding, the message and container image bits are tested and the error ratio is calculated using the inverted LSB substitution method for various possible patterns. The pattern that has the least error rate is selected to embed the message. …”

Iterative Shaping of Error Patterns For Normal Syndrome Decoding of Iterative Codes by X. H. Ren, V. K. Kanapelka, V. Yu. Tsviatkou

“…In this case, the syndrome is used as an address for retrieving a specific error pattern and correction rule from the memory. With the error rate increased, the size of the error pattern library is raised and the computational complexity of its formation is enlarged. …”

The impact of landscape patterns on surface runoff in the central urban area of Chengdu by Ying Kang, Jingjing Liu, Qin Liu, Wenli Zhao, Yunjun Guo

“…This study constructs a Source-Sink Runoff Landscape Index (SSRLI), and it utilises the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) to simulate the spatial distribution characteristics of surface runoff in the central urban area of Chengdu under different rainfall scenarios, exploring the relationship between landscape patterns and surface runoff. The results indicate: ① In 2022, the landscape types in the central urban area of Chengdu were mainly farmland, forestland, and impervious surfaces, accounting for 83.27% of the total study area. ② As rainfall intensity increased, the average rainfall-runoff conversion rate increased from 0.263 to 0.599. …”
