Article Synopsis
- - Stand-level biomass carbon models are vital for assessing forest carbon storage in China, serving as a foundation for both national and international evaluations.
- - This research utilized data from 52,700 permanent plots to create accurate biomass and carbon storage models for 20 forest types, revealing a significant recovery in forest carbon storage from 4.90 Pg in the late 1970s to 8.69 Pg by the 9th National Forest Inventory.
- - The study highlights the importance of larger sample sizes in modeling, as comparisons with existing models showed biases, marking a significant advancement in monitoring China's forest carbon dynamics.
Innovative input devices are being available for in-vehicle information systems (IVISs). While they have the potential to provide enjoyable driving by enabling drivers to perform non-driving related tasks (NDRTs) in more natural ways, the associated distracting effects should be paid with more attention. The purpose of this exploratory study was to compare the effects of three novel input modalities, i.

Article Synopsis
- * The study developed an AV acceptance model based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) that includes trust and perceived risk, analyzing data from 36 previous studies using advanced modeling techniques.
- * Findings revealed that trust is the biggest factor affecting AV acceptance, followed by perceived usefulness and risk, while perceived ease of use was least influential; also, different demographics show varying levels of these factors, suggesting targeted strategies for improving consumer trust can enhance AV adoption.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to apply lidar technology for estimating standing stocks in conifer forests of Northeast China, using airborne lidar point cloud data and information from 800 ground plots.
- Two modeling approaches, stepwise regression and partial least squares, were employed, with partial least squares showing superior accuracy (RRMSE=2.6%-4.2%).
- The models ranked the accuracy of the forests as follows: best for Korean pine (R^2=0.79), followed by larch (R^2=0.76), spruce-fir (R^2=0.81), and var. mongolica forest (R^2=0.50), highlighting the significance of height variables in modeling.
[Surgical treatment for bronchioloalveolar carcinoma with ipsilateral intrapulmonary metastatic nodules].
Zhonghua Zhong Liu Za Zhi
August 2009
Objective: The staging and treatment of bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) with pulmonary metastasis are still controversial. This study aimed at evaluating the current staging of BAC with ipsilateral intrapulmonary metastatic nodules and the therapeutic effectiveness of surgical resection.
Methods: The clinicopathological data of 729 completely and surgically resected patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from December 1999 to December 2006 were retrospectively reviewed.
[Surgical treatment of ipsilateral multi-focal non-small cell lung cancer].
Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi
July 2009
Objectives: The staging and treatment of multi-focal non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are controversial. This study evaluated the effectiveness of surgical treatment for the ipsilateral multi-focal NSCLC.
Methods: Sixty-eight patients with multi-focal NSCLC underwent complete resection from December 1999 to December 2006.
[Evaluation of left parasternal approach for cardiac surgery].
Di Yi Jun Yi Da Xue Xue Bao
March 2002
Objective: To provide a systemic evaluation of left parasternal approach (LPSA) for its clinical application.
Methods: LPSA was performed in 6 randomly-chosen formalin-preserved adult cadavers and the excisions were evaluated in external light of the external appearance, extent of traumatic injury and exposure of the structures in the thoracic cavity.
Results: LPSA left only short and less obvious skin incisions, thus causing minimal exterior appearance impairment.
