Assessment and spatial partitioning of ecosystem services importance in Giant Panda National Park: To provide targeted ecological protection

Plos.org 

by Zhigang Li, Jiaxing Zhu

Giant Panda National Park is crucial for China’s ecological security strategic pattern known as "two screens and three belts." The importance assessment and classification of ecosystem services in giant panda national parks has an important guiding role in the protection of giant panda national park ecosystems. In this study, we examined four indicators of habitat quality: carbon storage, water conservation, and soil and water conservation. Combined with data analysis... Читать дальше...

Development of a customized mask retainer for improving the fit performance of surgical masks

by Yuanyuan Pan, Qi Xi, Jiali Meng, Xi Chen, Guofeng Wu

This study introduces a customized mask retainer to improve the fit performance of surgical masks using various advanced digital techniques. The participant’s 3D face scans with and without a surgical mask were taken by using a smartphone. The mask retainer was designed using the 3D face scan data based on the facial anthropometric landmarks. The fitting was inspected and adjusted using the masked face scan data. The retainer was fabricated using a 3D printer. Читать дальше...



Imputation methods for missing failure times in recurrent-event survival analysis: Application to suicide attempts in the transgender population

Plos.org 

by Shanshan Liu, Sari L. Reisner, Jody L. Herman, Edie Weller

Suicide risk among transgender populations is an important public health issue. In a project evaluating association between gender affirmation and suicide attempts in the US Transgender Survey, we evaluated the relationship between gender affirmation and risk for suicide attempts. One of the challenges is that the age at suicide attempts was only collected for the first and last attempt. The initial zero-inflated negative binomial... Читать дальше...

Incidence of major depressive disorder over time in patients with liver cirrhosis: A nationwide population-based study in Korea

Plos.org 

by Gi Hyeon Seo, Jeong-Ju Yoo

There is yet to be a large-scale longitudinal study on the course of depression incidence within the duration of cirrhosis. The aim of this study is to analyze the incidence of depression from before to after diagnosis of cirrhosis over time. Incidence Rate (IR) was defined as the number of newly diagnosed patients with MDD divided by the sum of observation periods by using claims database in Korea. Incidence Rate Ratio (IRR) was defined as the IR in the specific... Читать дальше...

Objective

To assess whether dietary knowledge of Chinese children and adolescents and their mothers was associated with childhood and adolescent overweight and obesity.

Methods

This cross-sectional study obtained data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) between 2004 and 2015. Dietary knowledge of children and adolescents and their mothers was assessed by asking questions and statements on diets, and clustered by K-means clustering. Читать дальше...

Direct in situ protein tagging in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii utilizing TIM, a method for CRISPR/Cas9-based targeted insertional mutagenesis

Plos.org 

by Yuqing Hou, Xi Cheng, George B. Witman

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is an important model organism for the study of many cellular processes, and protein tagging is an increasingly indispensable tool for these studies. To circumvent the disadvantages of conventional approaches in creating a tagged cell line, which involve transforming either a wild-type or null-mutant cell line with an exogenous DNA construct that inserts randomly into the genome, we developed a strategy to tag the endogenous gene in situ.
