Monitoring of transformation of settlement spatial network in the arid zone of Uzbekistan by L. X. Gulyamova

“…ArcGIS Online services are used for interactive mapping. Data on the population of each locality on the indicated dates were used to calculate growth for the periods 1959–1979, 1979–1989, 1989–2023.Based on the results of the study, it is concluded that at certain stages of development the transformation process is characterized by qualitative and quantitative changes in the settlement network. …”

Myocardial Perfusion Imaging with Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Nonischemic Cardiomyopathies: An In-Depth Review of Techniques and Clinical Applications by Ilir Sharka, Giorgia Panichella, Chrysanthos Grigoratos, Matilda Muca, Carmelo De Gori, Petra Keilberg, Giovanni Novani, Valerio Barra, Hana Hlavata, Matteo Bianchi, Denisa Simona Zai, Francesca Frijia, Alberto Clemente, Giancarlo Todiere, Andrea Barison

“…<i>Materials and Methods</i>: We performed a structured review of the literature focusing on first-pass gadolinium perfusion sequences, stress protocols, and emerging pixel-wise perfusion mapping approaches. Studies were selected to illustrate the methods for image acquisition, post-processing, and quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR), as well as to highlight associations with clinical endpoints. …”

Price, Giovanni Rosotti, Jochen Stadler, Gaylor Wafflard-Fernandez, Andrew J. Winter, Lisa Wölfer, Hsi-Wei Yen, Tomohiro C. Yoshida, Brianna Zawadzki

“…We aim to predict the observational signatures of such large-scale flows, as they would appear in high-resolution Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of CO rotational lines, such as those conducted by the exoALMA Large Program. Post-processing 3D numerical simulations, we explored the observational signatures produced by three candidate (magneto)hydrodynamical instabilities to operate in the outer regions of protoplanetary disks: the vertical shear instability (VSI), the magnetorotational instability (MRI), and the gravitational instability (GI). …”
