Scientific Applications of Distributed Acoustic Sensing: State-of-the-Art Review and Perspective.
Sensors (Basel)
January 2022
Institute of Automation and Electrometry, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia.
This work presents a detailed review of the development of distributed acoustic sensors (DAS) and their newest scientific applications. It covers most areas of human activities, such as the engineering, material, and humanitarian sciences, geophysics, culture, biology, and applied mechanics. It also provides the theoretical basis for most well-known DAS techniques and unveils the features that characterize each particular group of applications.

Several taxa that are distributed in the Caucasus and/or the adjacent Pontic Mountains also have representatives in the East Mediterranean region. These disjunctions could have been caused by long-distance dispersal or be the result of extinctions in Central Anatolia caused by the aridification of the Anatolian Plateau during the Pliocene. We studied the Longiphallus-Hiramia group of Oxychilus as an example showing such distribution patterns.

Article Synopsis
- The article evaluates how chemical elements from copper smelting slag recycling waste affect brown forest soils in the southern taiga district of Middle Urals, Russia.
- The study involved two forest types and two methods of applying the waste, revealing that the waste lost 11% of its mass after two years, with notable changes in elements like Zn, As, Cd, and Se.
- Results indicated minimal negative impact on the grassy vegetation in the forest ecosystems after one year of applying the waste at a specific concentration.
Article Synopsis
- A study compared the effectiveness and quality of life outcomes of a combination therapy (gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel) versus single-agent gemcitabine in patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
- Results showed that patients receiving the combination therapy had better overall survival (9.92 months) and progression-free survival (6.28 months) compared to those receiving only gemcitabine (5.95 months and 3.22 months, respectively).
- Additionally, the combination therapy did not negatively affect the quality of life and had a higher objective response rate (37.1% vs. 23.7%), suggesting it may offer significant benefits for treating advanced pancreatic cancer.
The investigation of foxe1 variations in papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Int J Clin Exp Pathol
October 2016
General Surgery, Istanbul University, Cerrahpasa Medicine Faculty Istanbul, Turkey.
Background: Recent reports indicated that incidence of thyroid carcinoma is increasing throughout the worldwide. The aim of our study was to determine a possible relationship between Forkhead box E1 (FOXE1) gene variants and histopathological features of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Methods: FOXE1 gene variations; rs894673, rs1867277 and rs3758249 were analyzed in 57 Papillary thyroid carcinoma patients and 51 age matched healthy control subjects.
Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism in hypercalciuric children.
Pediatr Nephrol
July 2004
Department of Pediatric Nephrology, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey.
Idiopathic hypercalciuria is a complex disease resulting from an interaction between environmental and genetic factors. Recently, the relationship between vitamin D receptor ( VDR) alleles and calcium homeostasis has been investigated. This study was conducted to explore the association of VDR gene polymorphism with the risk of absorptive hypercalciuria (AH).
