The effects of climate change on EO/IR propagation using CMIP6 global atmospheric forecasting simulations by Parker Coye, Adam Willitsford

“…This work utilizes future projections of atmospheric variables from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6), an international collection of climate models, to characterize atmospheric transmittance, a metric closely tied to EO/IR performance. Analysis of regional transmittance (particularly in the long-wave infrared) reveals drops by as much as 20% from 2015-2100 for a path as short as 2 km - this is nearly a doubling of the band averaged extinction coefficient.…”

NOURISHING PREFERENCES OF THE GREATER WAX MOTH WORMS (Galleria mellonella L .) WHEN THE FEEDIN by Mahdi Mohammed Salih Saeed

“…The study of modified multiple range Duncan's test at p=0.05 showed that the optimum nourishment,optimum time for transformation from larvae to mature insect , and largest number of eggs laid by females were of the dark colored combs that contain pollen and honey which reached (12.84gm/treatment, 32.57 days , 2039.0 eggs) respectively , and the lowest nourishment was for combs with non elastic basic wax averaging ( 5.84 grams / treatment , 47.43 days , and 56.0 eggs ) respectively , The statistical analysis of the simple correlation coefficient (r) has also revealed that theresults were significant between nourishment and both the number of eggs laid and time of transformation from larvae to mature insect throughout the study period at p= 0.01 while the correlation between the number of eggs laid and time of transformation from larvae to mature insect was less significant at p= 0.05.…”

The Accuracy of ADC Measurements in Liver Is Improved by a Tailored and Computationally Efficient Local-Rigid Registration Algorithm. by Hossein Ragheb, Neil A Thacker, Jean-Marie Guyader, Stefan Klein, Nandita M deSouza, Alan Jackson

“…While the non-rigid registration method has the advantages of being applicable on the whole volume and in a fully automatic fashion, the local-rigid registration method is faster while maintaining the integrity of the biological structures essential for analysis of tissue heterogeneity. Our findings also indicate that the averaging commonly applied to DW-MR images as part of the acquisition protocol should be avoided if possible.…”

Mindfulness, crashes, and risky driving behaviors among adolescents and young adults in the United States by Johnathon P. Ehsani, Michelle Duren, Sjaan Koppel, Federico Vaca, Andrew Hellinger, Brydon Grant, Ahmed Sabit, Gayane Yenokyan

“…Results: After adjusting for age, gender, and race, adolescents reporting higher mindfulness scores were significantly less likely to engage on all risky driving behaviors and significantly less likely to have been involved in a crash. Spline regression analysis indicated that a mindfulness score of 75 corresponded to the minimum marginal probability change averaged across the outcomes of interest. …”
