Crucial in disease analysis and surgical planning, manual segmentation of volumetric medical scans (e.g. MRI, CT) is laborious, error-prone, and challenging to master, while fully automatic algorithms can benefit from user feedback. Therefore, with the complementary power of the latest radiological AI foundation models and virtual reality (VR)'s intui ...

Iron hydroxides play a key role in the preservation of organic matter in soils and sediments, yet the specificity and extent of their interactions with lignin-derived phenols-important source indicators for terrestrial organic matter-remain poorly understood in aquatic systems. In this study, we analyzed surface and downcore sediments along the terrestria ...

Background: One of the bottlenecks of visualization research is the lack of volunteers for studies that evaluate new methods and paradigms. The increased availability of web-based marketplaces, combined with the possibility of implementing volume rendering, a computationally expensive method, on mobile devices, has opened the door for using gamification i ...

The ability to internally generate and maintain a rhythmic pulse, i.e., beat imagery, is a fundamental aspect of musical cognition. While recent theories propose that premotor regions support internal temporal predictions during rhythm perception and imagery, direct causal evidence remains limited. In this study, we investigated the specific contributions ...

Inefficient electron transfer is one of the main challenges in practical denitrification applications. To address this issue, a novel ternary mediator functional material (Mxene@Fe-TA) was successfully synthesized, which exhibited pseudocapacitive properties to facilitate electron mediation and distribution. Batch experiments revealed that 50 mg/L MXene@F ...

Purpose: Neuropathic pain (NP) in individuals with cancer can arise from the cancer itself or its treatments. The prevalence of NP has been estimated in children living with cancer; however, the prevalence in adolescent survivorship is unknown. The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalence of NP among adolescent survivors of childhood cancer and ...
