Introduction Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the common cardiovascular diseases that seriously jeopardise human health, and endothelial inflammation and dyslipidaemia are the initiating links leading to its occurrence.Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the most effective surgical treatments for CHD with narrowed or blocked bl
A rigorous exploration of the sea ice data assimilation (DA) problem using a framework specifically developed for rapid, interpretable hypothesis testing is presented.In many applications, DA is implemented to constrain a modeled estimate of a state with observations.The sea ice DA application is complicated by the wide range of spatiotemporal scal
Currently, some catastrophe models used by the insurance industry account for liquefaction by applying a simple factor to shaking-induced losses.The factor is based only on local liquefaction susceptibility and this highlights the need for a more sophisticated approach to incorporating the effects of liquefaction in loss models.This study compares
