Published: May 2017

A limited number of ground measurements of dry particulate nitrate deposition (NO) makes it difficult and challenging to fully know the status of the spatial and temporal variations of dry NO depositions over China. This study tries to expand the ground measurements of NO concentrations at monitoring sites to a national scale, based on the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) NO columns, NO profiles from an atmospheric chemistry transport model (Model for Ozone and Related chemical Tracers, version 4, MOZART-4) and monitor-based sources, and then estimates the NO depositions on a regional scale based on an inferred model. The ground NO concentrations were first derived from NO columns and the NO profiles, and then the ground NO concentrations were derived from the ground NO concentrations and the relationship between NO and NO based on Chinese Nationwide Nitrogen Deposition Monitoring Network (NNDMN). This estimated dry NO depositions over China will be helpful in determining the magnitude and pollution status in regions without ground measurements, supporting the construction plan of environmental monitoring in future.

Accurate estimates of forest dynamics and above-ground forest biomass for the topographically challenging Himalaya are crucial for understanding carbon storage potential, assessing ecosystem services, and guiding conservation efforts in response to climate change. This dataset provides a manually delineated multi-temporal forest inventory and a comprehensive record of above-ground biomass (AGB) across the Kashmir Himalaya, generated from field observations, advanced remote sensing and machine learning. Data were collected and generated through remote sensing techniques and extensive in-situ measurements of 6220 trees (n=275 plots), including tree diameter at breast height, species composition, and tree density to map forest area and model AGB across varied terrain.

Development and psychometric evaluation of the Brief Parenting Questionnaire.

BMC Psychol

January 2025

Department of Research and Development, War Child Alliance, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Background: There is a paucity of brief self-report parenting measures validated for use in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). We developed the Brief Parenting Questionnaire (BPQ), a 24-item self-report measure for use with parents of children ages 3-12.

Objective: We describe the development and evaluation of the psychometric properties of the BPQ, which was designed to include two subscales: warm and responsive parenting (WRP) and harsh parenting (HP).

Silent witnesses: unveiling the epidemic of femicides in North-west Tshwane, South Africa - a decade of analysis.

BMC Public Health

January 2025

Sefako Makgatho University, Ground Floor, Clin Path Building, Room No. 37. Garankuwa, Pretoria, South Africa.

Background: Femicides, defined as the gender-based killing of women, are a pressing public health issue worldwide, with South Africa experiencing some of the highest rates globally. This study focuses on the North-west region of Tshwane, particularly the Garankuwa area, aiming to address gaps in understanding the epidemiology, demographics, circumstances, and pathology associated with femicides. The Garankuwa mortuary serves as the primary site for this investigation, providing a detailed analysis over a ten-year period, shedding light on contributing risk factors in the context of systemic gender inequality.

A Deep Learning Tool for Minimum Joint Space Width Calculation on Anteroposterior Knee Radiographs.

J Arthroplasty

January 2025

Orthopedic Surgery Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA; Mayo Clinic Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA. Electronic address:

Background: Minimum joint space width (mJSW) is an important continuous quantitative metric of osteoarthritis progression in the knee. The purpose of this study was to develop an automated measurement algorithm for mJSW in the medial and lateral compartments of the knee that can flexibly handle native knees as well as knees after arthroplasty.

Methods: We developed an end-to-end algorithm consisting of a deep learning segmentation model plus a computer vision algorithm to measure mJSW in the medial and lateral compartments of the knee.
