Development of a novel evaluation method by mathematical anatomy for foot bone alignment displacement using x-ray radiographs. by Yosuke Maruyama, Katsutoshi Itsukaichi, Naoya Hoshikawa, Takayuki Nakagomi, Tomohiro Matsuyama, Hiroyuki Sasaki

“…The current method of reflecting the bone arrangement status of the metatarsal and tarsal bones may have the potential to establish a new radiographic evaluation method for assessing abnormal foot-bone alignment. As a result, the foot bone 2D-FFT method can be useful in assessing the medial longitudinal arch and predicting the prognosis of these patients.…”

Large-scale Field-aligned Flows in the Heliosheath by Merav Opher, Marc Kornbleuth, Rob Decker, John Richardson, Ethan Bair, Kostas Dialynas, Romina Nikoukar, Matthew E. Hill, Senbei Du, Vladimir Florinski

“…Hybrid simulations suggest that these gradients will also drive field-aligned flows at higher energies (5–30 keV). The field-aligned flows are stronger within 10 au of the termination shock, where the magnetic field lines in the upwind hemisphere have shorter path lengths in the heliosheath before connecting back to the termination shock. …”

EVOCA: Explainable Verification of Claims by Graph Alignment by Carmela De Felice, Carmelo Fabio Longo, Misael Mongiovì, Daniele Francesco Santamaria, Giusy Giulia Tuccari

“…This process eliminates superfluous and redundant information, which could impact the performance of the subsequent verification task and provide useful information to explain the outcome. To achieve this, the proposed tool called <i>EVOCA</i>—Explainable Verification Of Claims by Graph Alignment—generates a sub-graph in <i>AMR</i> (Abstract Meaning Representation), representing the tokens of the claim–evidence pair that exhibit high semantic similarity. …”
