Article Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to introduce the coefficient of spatial variance of choroidal thickness to describe the choroidal variation and investigate its associated factors in healthy eyes.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 1031 eyes from 1031 subjects who received a swept-source optical coherence tomography examination. The mean choroidal thickness in the macular 6 × 6 mm region and 900 subregions of 0.2 × 0.2 mm were computed using the embedded algorithm. Before analysis, potential segmentation and magnification errors were corrected. The coefficient of spatial variance was defined as the standard deviation divided by the mean (multiplied by 100%) of the choroidal thicknesses across 900 grids. Potential factors associated with the coefficient of spatial variance were assessed using multiple linear regression.
Results: The mean choroidal thickness of the entire 6 × 6 mm macular region was 204.50 ± 72.88 μm. The mean coefficient of spatial variance was 26.58 ± 8.24%, ranging from 11.00 to 61.58%. Statistical analysis revealed that the means choroidal thickness (β = - 0.08, R = 0.42, p < 0.001) and anterior chamber depth (β = - 2.39, R = 0.05, p = 0.06) were associated with the coefficient of spatial variance.
Conclusion: Our study first incorporated the coefficient of spatial variance to represent the spatial variation of the choroidal thickness and observed that the greater thinning of the choroid is correlated with a more pronounced spatial variation.

This study examines China's national standard development from 2001 to 2023. Using machine splitting and location assignment technology, the Dagum Gini coefficient and its decomposition methods, and traditional and spatial Markov chain estimation methods, we identify the spatiotemporal disparities and dynamic transition characteristics of the contribution levels to national standard development across China's eight comprehensive economic zones. The findings provide a reference for promoting regional coordinated sustainable development and high-quality economic transformation.

In general, species on our planet are adapted to phenological patterns of vegetation, which are strongly influenced by various climatic and environmental factors that, when altered, can threaten biodiversity. Recent studies have utilized the spatiotemporal variability of vegetation to understand its dynamics, directly affecting biodiversity. Therefore, this research aimed to generate indices of temporal variability considering vegetation phenology and indices of spatial variability of vegetation to subsequently identify priority areas for biodiversity conservation in the Cerrado and Caatinga regions in Minas Gerais State, Brazil.

Purpose: Cerebrovascular segmentation is crucial for the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases. However, accurately extracting cerebral vessels from Time-of-Flight Magnetic Resonance Angiography (TOF-MRA) remains challenging due to the topological complexity and anatomical variability.
Methods: This paper presents a novel Y-shaped segmentation network with fast Fourier convolution and Mamba, termed F-Mamba-YNet.

For optoelectronic devices based on lead-halide perovskites and other semiconductors, a comprehensive understanding of the electric field influences on the carrier transport characteristics is critical to the optimization of their practical performances. To fulfill this challenging goal, here we have employed photoluminescence spatial image and transient absorption microscopy measurements on an individual CsPbBr microplate biased at external voltages in an Au/CsPbBr/Au device. At the subpicosecond time scale, some photogenerated excitons are dissociated into free electrons and holes that drift toward the electrodes to leave behind unfilled defect sites, which are capable of scattering the residual excitons to yield a reduced diffusion coefficient.

Background: Neighborhoods resulting from rapid urbanization processes are often saturated with eateries for local communities, potentially increasing exposure to unhealthy foods and creating diabetogenic residential habitats.
Objective: We examined the association between proximity of commercial food outlets to local neighborhood residences and type 2 diabetes (T2D) cases to explore how local T2D rates vary by location and provide policy-driven metrics to monitor food outlet density as a potential control for high local T2D rates.
Methods: This cross-sectional ecological study included 11,354 patients with active T2D aged ≥20 years geocoded using approximate neighborhood residence aggregated to area-level rates and counts by subdistricts (mukims) in Penang, northern Malaysia.
