The Antarctic is a harsh and unforgiving climate for many, though there is no shortage of important biological activity happening in the frigid temperatures. Antarctic marine viruses, while proven to be important players in the ecosystem, are not completely understood. Here, researchers aim to fill in the gap between what is known and what is unknown, with a primary focus on RNA viruses, the influence of climate change and what the implications might mean for the rest of the world.
Understanding the health of coastal ecosystems relies on accurate satellite measurements of ocean color, which track chlorophyll, sediments, and dissolved matter.
Accurate land cover maps are fundamental to urban planning, environmental monitoring, and sustainable development.
Land cover is constantly changing due to climate pressures and human activities, yet traditional satellite monitoring often misses rapid events.
A multicenter study led by Prof. Shuixing Zhang and Prof. Bin Zhang from the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinan University enrolled 246 patients with locally advanced NPC treated with immunotherapy. By applying artificial intelligence algorithms, the team extracted and selected optimal radiomic features from medical imaging to construct a predictive model.
