Enhanced geocoding precision for location inference of tweet text using spaCy, Nominatim and Google Maps. A comparative analysis of the influence of data selection

Plos.org 

by Helen Ngonidzashe Serere, Bernd Resch, Clemens Rudolf Havas

Twitter location inference methods are developed with the purpose of increasing the percentage of geotagged tweets by inferring locations on a non-geotagged dataset. For validation of proposed approaches, these location inference methods are developed on a fully geotagged dataset on which the attached Global Navigation Satellite System coordinates are used as ground truth data. Whilst a substantial number of location inference methods have been developed to date... Читать дальше...

The effect of a novel AQP4 facilitator, TGN-073, on glymphatic transport captured by diffusion MRI and DCE-MRI

Plos.org 

by Alaa Alghanimy, Conor Martin, Lindsay Gallagher, William M. Holmes

The glymphatic system is a low resistance pathway, by which cerebrospinal fluid enters the brain parenchyma along perivascular spaces via AQP4 channels. It is hypothesised that the resulting convective flow of the interstitial fluid provides an efficient mechanism for the removal of waste toxins from the brain. Therefore, enhancing AQP4 function might protect against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD)... Читать дальше...

Enhancement of visual cues to self-motion during a visual/vestibular conflict

Plos.org 

by Meaghan McManus, Laurence R. Harris

Perceiving our orientation and motion requires sensory information provided by vision, our body and acceleration. Normally, these cues are redundant however in some situations they can conflict. Here, we created a visual-vestibular conflict by simulating a body-upright virtual world while participants were either standing (no conflict), supine or prone (conflict) and assessed the perception of “forward” distance travelled induced by visual motion. Some... Читать дальше...



Association of surgeons’ gender with elective surgical lists in the State of Florida is explained by differences in mean operative caseloads

Plos.org 

by Franklin Dexter, Richard H. Epstein, Brenda G. Fahy

Background

A recent publication reported that at three hospitals within one academic health system, female surgeons received less surgical block time than male surgeons, suggesting potential gender-based bias in operating room scheduling. We examined this observation’s generalizability.

Methods

Our cross-sectional retrospective cohort study of State of Florida administrative data included all 4,176,551 ambulatory procedural encounters... Читать дальше...

An empirical analysis of the impact of Chinese government investment on high-quality economic development——A study based on spatial Dubin model

Plos.org 

by Ming Wang, Weiming Liu

China’s economy has shifted from the stage of high-speed growth to the stage of high-quality development. This paper selects panel data of 30 provinces, municipalities directly under the Central Government and autonomous regions (except Tibet) in mainland China with the time dimension of 2006–2016, selects indicators from five dimensions of innovation, coordination, greenness, openness and sharing, uses principal component analysis to construct a system of indicators of high-quality economic development...

The effects of nearby trees on the positional accuracy of GNSS receivers in a forest environment

Plos.org 

by Taeyoon Lee, Pete Bettinger, Krista Merry, Chris Cieszewski

Global Navigational Satellite System (GNSS) technologies are actively being developed to address the demand for enhanced positional accuracy. Smartphones are the most prevalent GNSS receiver today and have garnered attention thanks to improved positional accuracy and usability that can be accessed at an affordable price. In a forested environment, multipath error can deteriorate the positional accuracy, depending on the state of nearby vegetation. Читать дальше...

How message appeals and prior product use influence information processing, risk perceptions, trust, attitudes, and genetic test purchase intentions

Plos.org 

by Matthew S. VanDyke, Nicole M. Lee, Alan Abitbol, Stephen W. Rush

Within the direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic test industry, attracting customers can be difficult especially due to the highly sensitive nature of these products. How these tests are communicated to consumers may be one avenue in which companies can impact customer purchase intentions. A 2 (message sidedness: one-way vs. two-way refutational) x 2 (hedging: present vs. absent) between-subjects experiment was conducted to understand... Читать дальше...

Increased hepatic interleukin-1, arachidonic acid, and reactive oxygen species mediate the protective potential of peptides shared by gut cysteine peptidases against Schistosoma mansoni infection in mice

Plos.org 

by Hatem Tallima, Rashika El Ridi

Background

Multiple antigen peptide (MAP) construct of peptide with high homology to Schistosoma mansoni cathepsin B1, MAP-1, and to cathepsins of the L family, MAP-2, consistently induced significant (P < 0.05) reduction in challenge S. mansoni worm burden. It was, however, necessary to modify the vaccine formula to counteract the MAP impact on the parasite egg counts and vitality, and discover the mechanisms underlying the vaccine protective potential.

Incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of HBV reactivation in non-liver solid organ transplant recipients with resolved HBV infection: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Plos.org 

by Saifu Yin, Fan Zhang, Jiapei Wu, Tao Lin, Xianding Wang

Background

Current guidelines do not recommend routine antiviral prophylaxis to prevent hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation in non-liver solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients with resolved HBV infection, even in anti-hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs)-negative recipients and those receiving intense immunosuppression. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the incidence, risk factors, and clinical outcomes... Читать дальше...

How to Tell If Your Child Has Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Lifehacker.com 

Every child tests limits and misbehaves, often by going against a parent, teacher, or caregiver’s wishes. However, consistent, intense defiance is sometimes classified as Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), a behavior disorder most often diagnosed in children. If you have a particularly uncooperative child and are …

Spring Breakers predicted everything

Avclub.com 

The most culturally enduring moment of Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers belongs to a drugged-out James Franco cooing “Spraaaang break forever,” but the film’s thesis statement arrives at its mid-point to the tune of Britney Spears. As Franco’s gangster-slash-rapper-slash-party-impresario Alien sits at a baby grand…
