A Prospective Intervention Trial on Tailored Radiofrequency Ablation of Uterine Myomas by Alessandro Fasciani, Giovanni Turtulici, Giacomo Siri, Simone Ferrero, Rodolfo Sirito

“…The overall average surgery time of the RFM for each patient was 48 minutes, and the time to treat each fibroid by Vaginal Ultrasound-guided RFM (23 min) was found to be significantly less than those of laparoscopy or hysteroscopy (respectively 35 and 34 min) (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). An electromagnetic virtual needle tracking system (VNTS) was successfully tested during the RFM procedures, and real-time contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has proven to be effective in determining the duration of myolysis through the identification of eventual residual areas of enhancement within the fibroids. …”

Two-wavelength thermal–optical determination of light-absorbing carbon in atmospheric aerosols by D. Massabò, A. Altomari, V. Vernocchi, P. Prati

“…BrC is optically active: it shows an increasing absorbance when the wavelength moves to the blue–UV region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Definitively, the thermal–optical characterization of carbonaceous aerosol should be reconsidered to address the possible BrC content in the sample under analysis.…”

Exploring the Relationship between Geomagnetic Variations and Seismic Energy Release in Proximity to the Vrancea Seismic Zone by Andrei Mihai, Victorin-Emilian Toader, Iren-Adelina Moldovan, Mircea Radulian

“…To identify variations in the B_y component, datasets recorded at Muntele Rosu (MLR) were compared with those recorded at Surlari National Geomagnetic Observatory (SUA), to discriminate between global magnetic variations associated with solar activity and possible seismo–electromagnetic variations. The standard deviation (SD_By) was calculated for each anomaly recorded on the B_y component of the magnetic field and compared with the cumulative seismic energy release. …”

Characteristics of Saline Soil in Extremely Arid Regions: A Case Study Using GF-3 and ALOS-2 Quad-Pol SAR Data in Qinghai, China by Yao Gao, Xiuqing Liu, Wentao Hou, Yonghui Han, Robert Wang, Heng Zhang

“…This can be attributed to the different penetration depths and sensitivity to the surface roughness of the electromagnetic waves at two frequencies. (3) A regression model for salinity estimating based on radar backscattering coefficient, co-polarization ratio, and scattering entropy is established, with a determination coefficient (<inline-formula><math display="inline"><semantics><msup><mi>R</mi><mn>2</mn></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula>) of 0.79 and a root mean square error (RMSE) of 6.56%, allowing us to determine soil salinity from quad-pol SAR images without using backscattering models. …”

COMPARISON OF CRUSTAL DEFORMATION RATES ESTIMATED FROM SEISMIC AND GPS DATA ON THE BISHKEK GEODYNAMIC POLYGON by N. A. Sycheva, A. N. Mansurov

“…In the central part of the junction zone of the Chu basin and the Kyrgyz ridge, the crustal shortening rate exceeds –50·10–9 per year, and it is likely that the stress is released by seismicity of a low magnitude, which can be induced by the operations of an electromagnetic prospecting generator in this territory.…”
