We present a new method for estimating signal model parameters using the Cumulative Distribution Transform (CDT). Our approach minimizes the Wasserstein distance between measured and model signals. We derive some useful properties of the CDT and show that the resulting estimation problem, while nonlinear in the original signal domain, becomes a linear least squares problem in the transform domain. Furthermore, we discuss the properties of the estimator in the presence of noise and present a novel approach for mitigating the impact of the noise on the estimates. The proposed estimation approach is evaluated by applying it to a source localization problem and comparing its performance against traditional approaches.

Influenza Other Respir Viruses
January 2025
Centre for Biomedical Research, Faculty of Medicine, University of Banja Luka, Banja Luka, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Introduction: The aim of the study was to assess the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in the Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, after five waves of COVID-19 and 1 year after introduction of vaccination to better understand the true extent of the COVID-19 pandemic in the population of the Republika Srpska and role of vaccination in achieving herd immunity.
Methods: The population-based study was conducted from December 2021 to February 2022 in a group of 4463 individuals in the Republika Srpska. Total anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were determined in serum specimens using the Wantai total antibody ELISA assay.
Gestational exposure to PM, NO, and sex steroid hormones: Identifying critical windows of exposure in the Rochester UPSIDE Cohort.
Environ Epidemiol
February 2025
Department of Public Health Sciences, University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York.
Background: Sex steroid hormones are critical for maintaining pregnancy and optimal fetal development. Air pollutants are potential endocrine disruptors that may disturb sex steroidogenesis during pregnancy, potentially leading to adverse health outcomes.
Methods: In the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes Understanding Pregnancy Signals and Infant Development pregnancy cohort (Rochester, NY), sex steroid concentrations were collected at study visits in early-, mid-, and late-pregnancy in 299 participants.
New Index Demonstrates Association between Social Vulnerability, Environmental Burden, and Kidney Failure Risk among Individuals with Glomerular Disease.
Clin J Am Soc Nephrol

Department of Medicine and Pediatrics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC.
Background: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Environmental Justice Index Social-Environmental Ranking (EJI-SER) combines a Social Vulnerability Module (SV) with an Environmental Burden Module (EB) to characterize cumulative environmental and social burden at the census tract level. This analysis evaluates the association between EJI-SER and kidney outcomes in glomerular disease (GD) patients.
Methods: Cure Glomerulopathy (CureGN) is an observational cohort study of adults and children with biopsy-proven GD.
