Data driven resistivity zonation integrating inversion kriging and clustering for subsurface characterization in groundwater exploration by Gumilar Utamas Nugraha, Hendra Bakti, Rachmat Fajar Lubis, Asep Mulyono, Yuniarti Ulfa, Yayat Sudrajat

“…The primary objective is to enhance resistivity-based zonation for groundwater exploration by employing a dipole–dipole array with 10-m electrode spacing, followed by 2D inversion to visualize resistivity distributions. Geostatistical interpolation using Kriging effectively captures spatial variability, while clustering methods (K-Means, DBSCAN, and Hierarchical Clustering) classify resistivity-based subsurface zones. …”

Effect of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Patients with Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment by Zheyi YU, Weiming ZHANG

“…Before and after treatment, the cognitive function scores of the two groups were compared, the changes of mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive function (MoCA) scores were compared, the activities of daily living (ADL) and auditory verbal learning test (AVLT) were observed. ELISA method was used to observe the changes of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin-6(IL-6) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in the two groups after treatment.Results:There were no significant differences in the scores of MoCA, including orientation (ORT), visual space and executive function (EF), naming (NAM), memory (MEM), attention (ATT), language (LANG) and abstract ability (ABS) before treatment between the two groups (<italic>P</italic>&gt; 0.05). …”
