Impact of Data Capture Methods on 3D Reconstruction with Gaussian Splatting.
Rangelov D, Waanders S, Waanders K, Keulen MV, Miltchev R
This study examines how different filming techniques can enhance the quality of 3D reconstructions with a particular focus on their use in indoor crime scene investigations. Using Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and Gaussian Splatting, we explored how factors like camera orientation, filming speed, data layering, and scanning path affect the detail and clarity of 3D reconstructions. Through experiments in a mock crime scene apartment, we identified optimal filming methods that reduce noise and art...

Surgeon personality diversity across generations and subspecialties.
Sier VQ, Schmitz RF, Wertenbroek RWAM, Schepers A, van der Vorst JR, SUPER Collaborators
Background: Traditional exploration of surgical professionals' personality traits focuses on general characteristics at the domain-level of the five-factor model. Personality has been related to clinically-relevant areas such as clinical decision-making and team effectiveness, yet there is limited insight in the personality of surgeons at the facet-level of the Big Five. Here, we performed a large-scale study examining domain- and facet-variations of personality in four surgical generations...

Juglone Encapsulation in PLGA Nanoparticles Improves Solubility and Enhances Apoptosis in HeLa Cells.
Yilmaz DE, Gumus B, Demirci H
The anticancer potential of juglone, a naphthoquinone derived from walnut trees, has been extensively studied; however, its hydrophobicity and toxicity obstruct its therapeutic applications. This study aimed to overcome these challenges by encapsulating juglone into poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles and evaluating their antiproliferative and apoptotic effects on HeLa cells. Juglone nanoparticles (JNP) were obtained by single emulsion solvent evaporation method. Its key physicoc...

Spiking neural networks on FPGA: A survey of methodologies and recent advancements.
Karamimanesh M, Abiri E, Shahsavari M, Hassanli K, van Schaik A, Eshraghian J
The mimicry of the biological brain's structure in information processing enables spiking neural networks (SNNs) to exhibit significantly reduced power consumption compared to conventional systems. Consequently, these networks have garnered heightened attention and spurred extensive research endeavors in recent years, proposing various structures to achieve low power consumption, high speed, and improved recognition ability. However, researchers are still in the early stages of developing m...

Survival After Endocarditis Surgery Needing Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support: Results from the Netherlands Heart Registration.
Heinen FJ, Akin S, van den Brink FS, Ayan K, Hermanns H, van der Stoel MD, Post MC, Klautz RJM, Tanis W, Cardiothoracic Surgery Registration Committee of the Netherlands Heart Registration
The incidence of venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support after cardiac surgery ranges from 0.4% to 3.7%, with in-hospital mortality rates reported at 60%. While the incidence of VA-ECMO after endocarditis (IE) surgery is unknown, these patients may face an even greater mortality risk due to additional IE-related complications. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the incidence and mortality rates of postoperative VA-ECMO following endocarditis surgery....

Sensitivity to immature skill deficits. Food sharing experiments in squirrel monkeys (Saimiri boliviensis) and common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus).
Sehner S, Willems EP, Baumeyer A, Davis L, van Schaik CP, Burkart JM
Sharing food with immature individuals is costly and should therefore only occur when the benefits outweigh the costs. Accordingly, sharing typically decreases when immature individuals get older and become more proficient independent foragers. Providers would gain more if they could adjust food sharing not only to immature age but also to their skill level. Such sensitivity to others' skill deficits is expected to be rare, but may be found in species with high prosociality and other-regard...

Dai J, Ouyang Y, Gupte R, Liu XJA, Li Y, Yang F, Chen S, Provin T, Van Schaik E, Samuel JE, Jayaraman A, Zhou A, de Figueiredo P, Zhou J, Han A
Uncultivated but abundant soil microorganisms have untapped potential for producing broad ranges of natural products, as well as for bioremediation. However, cultivating soil microorganisms while maintaining a broad microorganism diversity to enable phenotyping and functional analysis of as diverse individual isolates as possible remains challenging. In this study, we developed and tested the ability of several culture media formulations that contain defined soil metabolites or soil extracts to...

Schwartz GG, Szarek M, Reijnders E, Jukema JW, Bhatt DL, Bittner VA, Fazio S, Garon G, Goodman SG, Harrington RA, White HD, Ruhaak LR, Stevanovic I, Cobbaert CM, Steg PG
Aims: Apolipoprotein (Apo) C3 has been associated with incident coronary heart disease and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Whether ApoC3 levels predict risk in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) on optimized statin treatment is unknown. Methods: ApoC3 was measured by mass spectrometry at baseline (n=11,956) and after 4 months' treatment (M4; n=11 176) with alirocumab or placebo in the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial. Patients with fasting triglycerides >400 mg/dL were exclude...

Investigating the effects of local climate zones on land surface temperature using spectral indices via linear regression model: a seasonal study of Sapanca Lake.
Isinkaralar O, Yeboah E, Isinkaralar K, Sarfo I, Öztürk S, Yilmaz D, Bojago E
The formation of urban heat islands is a widespread issue in cities. However, the impact of spectral indices on land surface temperature (LST) with various urban forms, climates, and functions has not been sufficiently examined. Currently, the prevalent method for analyzing complex urban areas is the classification of local climate zones (LCZs). In this study, we aim to explore the urban thermal environment by utilizing GIS-based spatial analyses and statistical methods. We also examine LCZs and...

The development of treatment resistance remains universal for patients with metastatic prostate cancer, driven by AR alterations and lineage state transitions. Identifying the evolution of lineage transitions in treatment resistance has been limited by the challenges of collecting serial tissue biopsies on treatment, which can be overcome using blood-based liquid biopsies. Utilizing a novel circulating tumor cell (CTC) isolation approach, we collected 273 CTC samples from 117 patients with metas...
