“…We examined associations of 97 dietary factors with colorectal cancer risk in 542,778 Million Women Study participants (12,251 incident cases over 16.6 years), and conducted a targeted genetic analysis in the ColoRectal Transdisciplinary Study, Colon Cancer Family Registry, and Genetics and Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer Consortium (GECCO). …”

'To know them thoroughly you must have their photographs': photographing Donatello in the 19th and early 20th centuries by Johnson, GA

“…It also considers how the academic, museological and even geopolitical concerns of art historians and curators working in Europe and North America in the second half of the nineteenth century and early years of the twentieth century influenced the kinds of illustrations that were produced of Renaissance sculpture—and, in turn, how the kinds of illustrations made available to scholars shaped the questions they asked. …”

Ship detection using optical satellite imagery by Hu, Jing

“…There are two filtering conditions involved in this Matlab program, which are length-beam ratio and roundness. By using these two constrains, the program can successfully detect sea-going ships among all those false alarms like small island, wakes and cloud. …”

Modeling pedestrian activity in cities with urban network analysis by Sevtsuk, Andres, Kalvo, Raul

“…The global climate-change crisis, along with public health and economic competitiveness challenges in cities around the world have underscored the need for analytic tools to examine the relationship between city design and sustainable mobility. Car-centered travel demand models and land-use-transportation interaction models have historically analyzed zone-to-zone trips along major roadways, largely omitting pedestrian and bicycle trips and creating a gap in the ability for planners and urban designers to systematically assess non-motorized outcomes of development interventions. …”

On the local and string stability analysis of traffic collision risk by Dong, Tianyu, Zhou, Jiazu, Zhuo, Junfan, Li, Bo, Zhu, Feng

“…These theoretical insights are substantiated through microscopic simulations using a variety of car-following models. The simulations also indicate that the consistency between theoretical and simulation outcomes diminishes as the disturbance magnitude increases, which is attributed to the linearization errors inherent in applying the transfer function in the theoretical derivations.…”
