The published map recording cultural sites in Xinjiang shows that there is a lack of data collection on the distribution of sites in the area, and no relevant data sets have been released. Existing written materials indicate that there are more cultural sites in this area. For this reason, we have collected and sorted out information. Our cultural site database provides the geographic location and corresponding geographic environment of each site in Xinjiang from the Paleolithic to the Bronze Age. The data record the human development and settlement process, settlement environment landscape characteristics, scale, type, quantity, and spatial distribution in Xinjiang in prehistoric China. These data not only are the basis for further understanding the spatial distribution of prehistoric humans in Xinjiang, but also provide references for understanding prehistoric human behavior and prehistoric man-land relationship, and the exchange of eastern and western civilizations. It is of great significance to modern social planning, site protection, and resource utilization.

Objectives: The manuscript examines the risk factors associated with Buruli ulcer in endemic regions of Benin, focusing on community practices, agricultural activities, and age and gender disparities.
Methods: The study, conducted from November 2021 to June 2024, used a prospective case-control approach combined with a geographic health survey. The study involved home interviews followed by guided tours of areas frequented by participants, allowing the precise identification of practices at risk of Buruli ulcer.
Electroporation is a promising technology utilizing electrical pulses for macromolecule delivery and soft-tissue ablation, with applications that include next-generation prophylactics and the treatment of genetic diseases such as cancer. This study demonstrates a high-throughput capable 3D tissue culture model for quantification of the reversible and irreversible electroporation thresholds for a given electroporation protocol. By using a non-uniform electric field and analyzing the spatial distribution of transfected cells, both reversible and irreversible thresholds can be identified within a single sample, increasing the efficiency at which electroporation protocols can be characterized, especially for in vivo translation.

Using 730 winning entries in the 2023 "Kyushu Cup" National Study Tour Program Design Competition as examples, this article analyzes characteristics of geography study tour program development in China via GIS and SPSS software. The study results show that the development of geography study tour programs in China is unbalanced in terms of spatial distribution, course content, main body of design, and field trip scope. The following manifestations were observed: first, there are large spatial and administrative differences in the development of Chinese geography study tour programs; second, although geography is a comprehensive discipline that emphasizes the holistic nature of regional studies, the proportion of comprehensive regional study tours is relatively low; third, colleges and universities are the primary developers of geography study tour programs, followed by secondary schools; and finally, the development of Chinese geography study tour programs is dominated by local study tours, which are mainly based on vernacular geography.

Traffic congestion frequently occurs in the drop-off zones of large integrated passenger hubs, posing significant challenges to the efficient utilization of lane space. This study develops a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) taxi drop-off decision-making model, incorporating both static and dynamic Logit frameworks grounded in panel data analysis. The model accounts for heterogeneity across vehicles, temporal variations, and spatial factors influencing drop-off decisions.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFEvent-based sensors (EBS), with their low latency and high dynamic range, are a promising means for tracking unresolved point-objects. Conventional EBS centroiding methods assume the generated events follow a Gaussian distribution and require long event streams ($\gt 1$s) for accurate localization. However, these assumptions are inadequate for centroiding unresolved objects, since the EBS circuitry causes non-Gaussian event distributions, and because using long event streams negates the low-latency advantage of EBS.
