Weak Ties on Old Roads: Inscribed Stopping-Places and Complex Networks in the Eastern Desert of Graeco-Roman Egypt by Hackley Laurel Darcy, Gates-Foster Jennifer, Redon Bérangère

“…Using two case studies from the sites of Buweib and the Paneion of the Wadi Minayh in the Eastern Desert of Egypt, we illustrate how landscape performs as an actor in the networks of the Graeco-Roman period, influencing the location of network “weak-tie” nodes and functioning as a medium of communication that, through practices of landscape marking, allows information to be exchanged between travelers, across language and cultural barriers, and even across millennia. …”

Key Considerations for Ovarian Preservation during Radiotherapy for Cervical Carcinoma by Xiaolong Cheng, Jiping Liu, Xiaojuan Lv, Long Sun

“…Conclusions: Following receiving a certain radiation dose, the ovaries may undergo a temporary functional decline or even complete failure. The key to protecting the ovarian function during cervical cancer radiotherapy lies in successful OT, precise delineation of ovarian tissue, determination of dose limits for patients across different age groups, as well as the application of HT and specialized IMRT techniques.…”

A Poisson Process AutoDecoder for X-Ray Sources by Yanke Song, V. Ashley Villar, Rafael Martínez-Galarza, Steven Dillmann

“…Previous work has either failed to directly capture the Poisson nature of the data or only focuses on Poisson rate function reconstruction. In this work, we present the Poisson Process AutoDecoder (PPAD), which is a neural field decoder that maps fixed-length latent features to continuous Poisson rate functions across energy band and time via unsupervised learning. …”
