Rapid global change has increased interest in developing ways to identify suitable refugia for species of conservation concern. Correlative and mechanistic distribution models (SDMs) represent two approaches generate spatially-explicit estimates climate vulnerability. SDMs distributions using statistical associations between environmental variables presence data. In contrast, use physiological ...

For a TTS system, only if a large size of corpus annotated with AI (Accent Index) is available, could it be practicable to build an AI-supported prosody module in a data-driven method. An approach had been proposed to label Chinese AI automatically.

Calcineurin inhibitor toxicity (CNIT) is an important cause of chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN), but clinically relevant, diagnostic pathologic criteria remain to be defined. A semiquantitative, clinically correlative CNIT scoring system was developed and validated by pathologic analyses of 254 renal transplant biopsies that were obtained from 50 consecutive pediatric renal transplant recipi...

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of increasing intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) on stroke volume variation (SVV) and plethysmographic variability index (PVI) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. PVI examined by Masimo Radical 7 pulse oximeter and SVV determined using FloTrac/Vigileo were monitored simultaneously in forty-five patients undergoing laparosc...
