Article Abstract

In this paper, we present our novel approach for the crowdsourced dynamic vertical mapping of buildings. For achieving this, we use the barometric sensor of smartphones to estimate altitude differences and the moment of the outdoor to indoor transition to extract reference pressure. We have identified the outdoor-indoor transition (OITransition) via the fusion of four different sensors. Our approach has been evaluated extensively over a period of 6 months in different humidity, temperature, and cloud-coverage situations, as well as over different hours of the day, and it is found that it can always predict the correct number of floors, while it can approximate the altitude with an average error of 0.5 m.

The relationship between, and joint selection on, a host and its microbes-the holobiont-can impact evolutionary and ecological outcomes of the host and its microbial community. We develop an agent-based modelling framework for understanding the ecological dynamics of hosts and their microbiomes. Our model incorporates numerous microbial generations per host generation allowing selection on both host and microbes.

Star-like Cluster SMg: A Binary Dianion Global Minimum Featuring a Planar Pentacoordinate Sulfur.

Inorg Chem

September 2025

The Key Laboratory of the Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage of Shanxi Province, Institute of Molecular Science, Shanxi University, 92 Wucheng Road, Taiyuan, Shanxi 030006, People's Republic of China.

For over half a century, clusters exhibiting unconventional bonding have captivated researchers due to their unique electronic characteristics. While most elements in the periodic table demonstrate this remarkable structural feature, sulfur has been notably absent from known global minima with a planar pentacoordinate center. Herein, we report the first binary dianion cluster, SMg, featuring a planar pentacoordinate sulfur (ppS) atom.

Purpose: To compare the accuracy of static guided surgery using a pilot drill guide and dynamic guided surgery for dental implant placement.

Materials And Methods: Partially edentulous adult patients requiring implant placement were randomly assigned to either the static guided surgery group using a pilot drill guide or the dynamic guided surgery group. Digital implant planning was conducted using intraoral scans and CBCT with planning software to determine the optimal prosthetic position.

Spatial distributions of biogenic sulfur compounds and isoprene in the tropical western Pacific Ocean: Implications for air-sea fluxes and deep-ocean reservoirs.

Simultaneous measurements of dimethylsulfide (DMS) and isoprene in seawater and the overlying atmosphere were conducted in the tropical western Pacific Ocean during February-March 2017. Surface seawater exhibited a strong correlation between DMS and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), with similar spatial distributions, whereas dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) displayed an opposing trend. Latitudinal and vertical profiles of DMS, DMSP, and isoprene revealed their pronounced dependence on biological factors, particularly in subsurface layers.
