State-of-the-art sleep arousal detection evaluated on a comprehensive clinical dataset.

Aiming to apply automatic arousal detection to support sleep laboratories, we evaluated an optimized, state-of-the-art approach using data from daily work in our university hospital sleep laboratory. Therefore, a machine learning algorithm was trained and evaluated on 3423 polysomnograms of people with various sleep disorders. The model architecture is a U-net that accepts 50 Hz signals as input.

Multi-isotopic analysis of zooarchaeological material from Estonia (ca. 200-1800 CE): Variation among food webs and geographical regions.

To better comprehend the dietary practices of past populations in the Eastern Baltic region we have created temporally and geographically restricted baselines for the time period of 200-1800 CE. In this multi-isotopic analysis, we report new δ13C, δ15N and δ34S values for 251 faunal bone collagen samples from various archaeological contexts in Estonia representing the most comprehensive set of Iron Age, Medieval and Early Modern Period faunal stable isotope values to date. The results map out the local carbon and nitrogen baselines and define isotopic ranges of local terrestrial, avian and aquatic fauna.

Single-cell transcriptomics defines keratinocyte differentiation in avian scutate scales.

The growth of skin appendages, such as hair, feathers and scales, depends on terminal differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes. Here, we investigated keratinocyte differentiation in avian scutate scales. Cells were isolated from the skin on the legs of 1-day old chicks and subjected to single-cell transcriptomics.

Electronic Structure of a Diiron Complex: A Multitechnique Experimental Study of [(dppf)Fe(CO) ].

Here we explore the electronic structure of the diiron complex [(dppf)Fe(CO)] [; dppf = 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene] in two oxidation states by an advanced multitechnique experimental approach. A combination of magnetic circular dichroism, X-ray absorption and emission, high-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and Mössbauer spectroscopies is used to establish that oxidation of occurs on the carbonyl iron ion, resulting in a low-spin iron(I) ion. It is shown that an unequivocal result is obtained by combining several methods.
