Mitral valve repair using leaflet expansion and subpartial annuloplasty in childrenCentral MessagePerspective by Per Wierup, MD, PhD, Jens Johansson Ramgren, MD, PhD, Johan Sjögren, MD, PhD, Kiet Tran Phan, MD, PhD, Igor Zindovic, MD, PhD, Shahab Nozohoor, MD, PhD, Lea Christierson, MSc, Nina Hakacova, MD, PhD

“…Results: All children survived their surgeries with uneventful postoperative courses, except for 1 patient who needed an early reoperation to resolve a functional stenosis due to a spinnaker phenomenon. At discharge, mean gradient was 3.5 ± 3.9 mm Hg, with trivial mitral regurgitation in 9 patients (82%). …”

Homology Groups in Warped Product Submanifolds in Hyperbolic Spaces by Yanlin Li, Akram Ali, Fatemah Mofarreh, Nadia Alluhaibi

“…In this paper, we show that if the Laplacian and gradient of the warping function of a compact warped product submanifold Ωp+q in the hyperbolic space ℍm−1 satisfy various extrinsic restrictions, then Ωp+q has no stable integral currents, and its homology groups are trivial. …”

From Density to Efficiency: Exploring Urban Building Use Efficiency in 35 Large Chinese Cities by Tingting He, Shanshan Cao, Youpeng Lu, Maoxin Zhang, Andong Guo, Boyu Liu

“…First, UBUE shows significant spatial variation at national and urban scales, with a maximum disparity of 4.3 times among the 35 cities and a gradual decline along the urban–rural gradient within urban areas. Second, in cities in the western and northeastern areas, a smaller amount of urban function was generated per unit of newly constructed building volume, indicating that newly increased buildings are less efficient. …”

Intercept Guidance of Maneuvering Targets with Deep Reinforcement Learning by Zhe Hu, Liang Xiao, Jun Guan, Wenjun Yi, Hongqiao Yin

“…In this paper, a novel guidance law based on a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm is presented to deal with the maneuvering target interception problem using a deep deterministic policy gradient descent neural network. We take the missile’s line-of-sight (LOS) rate as the observation of the RL algorithm and propose a novel reward function, which is constructed with the miss distance and LOS rate to train the neural network off-line. …”
