A method for finding the center of cryo-EM images which correspond to the projections of a symmetric 3D structure, based on mathematical properties of symmetry adapted functions and the Fourier-Bessel transform, is presented. It is a model independent one-step procedure with no parameters to be chosen by the user. The proposed method is tested in one synthetic tetrahedral case with different noise levels and in two real cases with D7 and icosahedral symmetries.

The orientation of a blood vessel as visualized in 3D medical images is an important descriptor of its geometry that can be used for centerline extraction and subsequent segmentation, labeling, and visualization. Blood vessels appear at multiple scales and levels of tortuosity, and determining the exact orientation of a vessel is a challenging problem. Recent works have used 3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for this purpose, but CNNs are sensitive to variations in vessel size and orientation.

Large-scale rock burst disasters often occur in high-stress and deep-buried tunnels, due to challenges in accurate forecasting and the lack of clarity regarding the underlying mechanisms largely. This study combined on-site stress drilling tests, coupled finite and discrete element simulations, and theoretical calculations to examine unloading damage, rockburst evolution, and deformation failure of the high-stress and deep-buried Xuefengshan No.1 tunnel.

Human brucellosis remains a significant public health issue in the Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang, China. To assist local Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in promptly formulate effective prevention and control measures, this study leveraged time-series data on brucellosis cases from February 2010 to September 2023 in Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture. Three distinct predictive modeling techniques-Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks-were employed for long-term forecasting.

Floods are among the most severe natural hazards, causing substantial damage and affecting millions of lives. These events are inherently multi-dimensional, requiring analysis across multiple factors. Traditional research often uses a bivariate framework relying on historical data, but climate change is expected to influence flood frequency analysis and flood system design in the future.

Electron microscopy (EM) techniques have been crucial for understanding the structure of biological specimens such as cells, tissues and macromolecular assemblies. Viruses and related viral assemblies are ideal targets for structural studies that help to define essential biological functions. Whereas conventional EM methods use chemical fixation, dehydration, and staining of the specimens, cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) preserves the native hydrated state.
