AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Aims: To build an automated decision support system to assist pathologists in grading gastric atrophy according to the updated Sydney system.
Methods: A database of 143 biopsies was used to train and examine the proposed system. A panel of three experienced pathologists reached a consensus regarding the grading of the studied biopsies using the visual scale of the updated Sydney system. Digital imaging techniques were utilised to extract a set of discriminating morphological features that describe each atrophy grade sufficiently and uniquely. A probabilistic neural networks structure was used to build a grading system. To evaluate the performance of the proposed system, 66% of the biopsies (94 biopsy images) were used for training purposes and 34% (49 biopsy images) were used for testing and validation purposes.
Results: During the training phase, a 98.9% precision was achieved, whereas during testing, a precision of 95.9% was achieved. The overall precision achieved was 97.9%.
Conclusions: A fully automated decision support system to grade gastric atrophy according to the updated Sydney system is proposed. The system utilises advanced image processing techniques and probabilistic neural networks in conducting the assessment. The proposed system eliminates inter- and intra-observer variations with high reproducibility.

Background: In the back projection step of the 3D PET reconstruction, all Lines of Responses (LORs) that go through a given voxel need to be identified and included in an integral. The standard Monte Carlo solution to this task samples stochastically the surfaces of the detector crystals and the volume of the voxel to search for valid LORs. To get a low noise Monte Carlo estimate, the number of samples needs to be very high, making the computational cost of the projection significant.

In keeping with the historical focus of this special issue of Hippocampus, this paper reviews the history of my development of the SPEAR model. The SPEAR model proposes that separate phases of encoding and retrieval (SPEAR) allow effective storage of multiple overlapping associative memories in the hippocampal formation and other cortical structures. The separate phases for encoding and retrieval are proposed to occur within different phases of theta rhythm with a cycle time on the order of 125 ms.

Taking a sewage treatment plant in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, as an example, the greenhouse gas （GHG） emissions generated in the sewage treatment system were calculated using the carbon balance method and the emission factor method. The environmental impacts and economic aspects of different treatment units in wastewater treatment plants were analyzed using life cycle assessment, cost-benefit analysis, and data envelopment analysis models, and emission reduction pathways were proposed. The results indicated that the total GHG emissions （in terms of CO） from a certain municipal wastewater treatment plant in Suzhou were 6 653.

Carbon black nanoparticles (CBNPs) are ubiquitous in our daily ambient environment, either resulting from tobacco combustion or constituting the core of PM. Despite the potential risk of trafficking CBNPs to the fetus, the underlying toxicity of nano-sized carbon black particles in the placenta remains unambiguous. Pregnant C57BL/6 mice received intratracheal instillation of 30 nm or 120 nm CBNPs.

China's energy mix is coal-dominated; therefore, it is unrealistic for the country to achieve carbon neutrality through complete decarbonization. As the world's largest carbon emitter, achieving global carbon reduction targets necessitates that China develops low-carbon, clean, safe, and efficient coal development and utilization technologies. This study proposes a new low-carbon coal development and utilization method that integrates in-situ conversion mining and mineral carbonation (ICMMC) to realize coal mining and separation, in-situ backfilling, in-situ conversion, energy storage, and carbon sequestration.
