Origins and immunopathogenesis of autoimmune central nervous system disorders by Ramanathan, S, Brilot, F, Irani, SR, Dale, RC

“…Fourth, we outline how advances in our understanding of the anatomy of lymphatic drainage and neuroimmune interfaces are challenging long-held notions of CNS immune privilege, with direct relevance to CNS autoimmunity, and how disruption of B cell and T cell tolerance and the passage of immune cells between the peripheral and intrathecal compartments have key roles in initiating disease activity. Last, we consider novel therapeutic approaches based on our knowledge of the immunopathogenesis of autoimmune CNS disorders.…”

Slowdown: the end of the great acceleration—and why it's good for the planet, the economy, and our lives by Dorling, D

“…Danny Dorling uses compelling visualizations to illustrate how fertility rates, growth in GDP per person, and even the frequency of new social movements have all steadily declined over the last few generations. <br> Perhaps most surprising of all is the fact that even as new technologies frequently reshape our everyday lives and are widely believed to be propelling our civilization into new and uncharted waters, the rate of technological progress is also rapidly dropping. …”

Topography of social touching depends on emotional bonds between humans by Suvilehto, JT, Glerean, E, Dunbar, RIM, Hari, R, Nummenmaa, L

“…Across all tested cultures, the total bodily area where touching was allowed was linearly dependent (mean r2 = 0.54) on the emotional bond with the toucher, but independent of when that person was last encountered. Close acquaintances and family members were touched for more reasons than less familiar individuals. …”

3D object recognition using invariance by Zisserman, A, Forsyth, D, Mundy, J, Rothwell, C, Liu, J, Pillow, N

Infectious diseases acquired by international travellers visiting the USA by Stoney, Rhett J, Esposito, Douglas H., Kozarsky, Phyllis, Hamer, Davidson H., Grobusch, Martin P., Gkrania-Klotsas, Effrossyni, Libman, Michael, Gautret, Philippe, Lim, Poh Lian, Leder, Karin, Schwartz, Eli, Sotir, Mark J., Licitra, Carmelo

“…Low-frequency illnesses (<2% of cases) made up over half of diagnoses during travel and 41% of diagnoses after travel, including 13 cases of coccidioidomycosis and mosquito-borne infections like West Nile, dengue and Zika virus diseases. Conclusions: International travellers to the USA acquired a diverse array of mostly cosmopolitan infectious diseases, including nonspecific respiratory, gastrointestinal, dermatologic and systemic infections comparable to what has been reported among travellers to low- and middle-income countries. …”

A Slip Gap of the 2016 Mw 6.6 Muji, Xinjiang, China, Earthquake Inferred from Sentinel‐1 TOPS Interferometry by Feng, Wanpeng, Tian, Yunfeng, Zhang, Yong, Samsonov, Sergey, Almeida, Rafael, Liu, Peng

“…The recent large strike‐slip earthquakes in this area, that is, the 2015 Mw 7.2 Tajikistan earthquake (left‐lateral) and 2016 Mw 6.6 Muji earthquake (right‐lateral), may be an indicator of conjugate fault systems at the west boundary between the Indian and Eurasian plates in response to north–south convergence produced by the collision of the two plates.…”

HiTrip: Historical trajectory interpolation for trawlers via deep learning on multi-source data by Zhao, Zhongning, Chen, Jiaxuan, Shi, Yuqi, Hong, Feng, Jiang, Guiyuan, Huang, Haiguang, Zhao, Jinhua

“…The proposed deep learning model, integrating ResNet, LSTM, and MLP, seamlessly synthesizes spatial features from coarse fishing effort distributions, sea surface factor fields, and current fields, while accounting for the temporal relationships within trajectory segments. Evaluated on 1855 East China Sea trawler VMS records and Copernicus Climate Data Store hydrological factor data, HiTrip achieves a 0.20 km interpolation error, meeting a finery 0.005° × 0.005°spatial resolution demand for fishing effort distribution analysis. …”
