A deep residual inception network with channel attention modules for multi-label cardiac abnormality detection from reduced-lead ECG
(IOP, 2022-05-12)Objective. Most arrhythmias due to cardiovascular diseases alter the electrical activity, resulting in morphological alterations in electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings. ECG acquisition is a low-cost, non-invasive process ... -
Understanding the microphysical control and spatial-temporal variability of warm rain probability using CloudSat and MODIS observations
(AGU, 2022-05-13)By combining measurements from MODIS and the CloudSat radar, we develop a parameterization scheme to quantify the combined microphysical controls by liquid water path (LWP) and cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC) of ... -
Precipitation Biases and Snow Physics Limitations Drive the Uncertainties in Macroscale Modeled Snow Water Equivalent
(EGU, 2022-05-13)Seasonal snow is an essential component of regional and global water and energy cycles, particularly in snow-dominant regions that rely on snowmelt for water resources. Land surface models (LSMs) are a common approach for ... -
MIMO Input-Output Linearization with Applications for Longitudinal Flight Dynamics
(2022-05-12)This paper presents an extension of the input-output linearization method for nonsquare systems with more outputs than inputs. Unlike the square systems and nonsquare systems with fewer outputs than inputs, which can be ... -
Emission factors and evolution of SO2 measured from biomass burning in wild and agricultural fires
(EGU, 2022-05-13)Fires emit sufficient sulfur to affect local and regional air quality and climate. This study analyzes SO2 emission factors and variability in smoke plumes from US wild and agricultural fires, and their relationship to ... -
Patterns in Local Economic Development in Light of COVID-19
(Sage, 2022-05-06)The COVID-19 pandemic pressured local governments to employ creative and untested economic development strategies to stabilize private businesses. To explore how the uncertainty of the pandemic impacted the priorities and ... -
Chemogenetic Depletion of Hypophysiotropic GnRH Neurons Does Not Affect Fertility in Mature Female Zebrafish
(MDPI, 2022-05-17)The hypophysiotropic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and its neurons are crucial for vertebrate reproduction, primarily in regulating luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion and ovulation. However, in zebrafish, which ... -
IMPROVED PATHS FOR UAVS IN PESTICIDE SPRAYING WITH TERRAIN CONSIDERATION
This research was designed to investigate the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the agricultural industry. The application of pesticides on farmland by traditional methods such as spraying has several disadvantages ... -
“It would probably turn into a social faux-pas”: Users’ and Bystanders’ Preferences of Privacy Awareness Mechanisms in Smart Homes
(ACM, 2022-04-29)The opaque data practices in smart home devices have raised significant privacy concerns for smart home users and bystanders. One way to learn about the data practices is through privacy-related notifications. However, how ... -
Introducing a VIIRS-based Fire Emission Inventory version 0 (VFEIv0)
A new open biomass burning inventory is presented that relies on the fire radiative power data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi NPP satellite. This VIIRS-based Fire Emission ... -
Supporting A Safe and Healthy Immersive Environment for Teenagers
Immersive technologies, such as social virtual reality (VR), can revolutionize how people interact with each other, blurring the boundary between the online world and the physical world. However, the dynamics of potential ... -
Properties of High-redshift Gamma-Ray Bursts
(AAS, 2022-04-19)The immense power of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) makes them ideal probes of the early universe. By using absorption lines in the afterglows of high-redshift GRBs, astronomers can study the evolution of metals in the early ... -
Efficient reverse engineering of one-qubit filter functions with dynamical invariants
We derive an integral expression for the filter-transfer function of an arbitrary one-qubit gate through the use of dynamical invariant theory and Hamiltonian reverse engineering. We use this result to define a cost ... -
Time domain astronomy with the THESEUS satellite
(Springer, 2021-12)THESEUS is a medium size space mission of the European Space Agency, currently under evaluation for a possible launch in 2032. Its main objectives are to investigate the early Universe through the observation of gamma-ray ... -
“I’m Ok Because I’m Alive”: Understanding Socio-cultural Accessibility Barriers for Refugees with Disabilities in the US
(ACM, 2022-04-27)The number of refugees worldwide has doubled in the past decade. Data shows a large percentage of refugees experience disabilities and mental health challenges, often exasperated by being exposed to violent and inhospitable ... -
The Impact of Inclination-dependent Attenuation on Ultraviolet Star Formation Rate Tracers
(2022-05-24)We examine and quantify how hybrid (e.g., UV+IR) star formation rate (SFR) estimators and the AFUV–β relation depend on inclination for disk-dominated galaxies using spectral energy distribution modeling that utilizes the ... -
“The Goose” Pulsar Wind Nebula of PSR J1016–5857: The Birth of a Plerion
(2022-04-29)We report the results of X-ray (CXO) and radio (ATCA) observations of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) powered by the young pulsar PSR J1016--5857, which we dub "the Goose" PWN. In both bands the images reveal a tail-like PWN ... -
What evidence exists on the links between natural climate solutions and climate change mitigation outcomes in subtropical and tropical terrestrial regions? A systematic map protocol
(BMC, 2022-04-19)Background Natural climate solutions (NCS)—actions to conserve, restore, and modify natural and modified ecosystems to increase carbon storage or avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions—are increasingly regarded as important ... -
Exploring Hybrid: A (hybrid) SIG to discuss hybrid conferences
(ACM, 2022-04-28)In this special interest group (SIG), we follow up on previous conversations around hybrid models for conferences, conducted in open sessions by the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI) Executive ...
