Extensive desmoplastic stroma is a hallmark of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and contributes to tumor progression and to the relative resistance of tumor cells towards (radio) chemotherapy. Thus, therapies that target the stroma are under i...
Subsea permafrost stability is the key to whether pre-performed methane sequestered in hydrate deposits escapes to the overlying strata. By making use of the 1D numerical modeling and field data, we analyze the capabilities of the time-domain (transi...
The purpose of the present study is to investigate if consumption and supply hypoxia (CSH) MR-imaging can depict breast cancer hypoxia, using the CSH-method initially developed for prostate cancer. Furthermore, to develop a generalized pan-cancer app...
Low frequency loop-loop electromagnetic induction (EMI) is a widely-used geophysical measurement method to rapidly measure in situ the apparent electrical conductivity (ECa) of variably-saturated soils. Here, we couple Bayesian inversion of a quasi-t...
Soil degradation and low productivity are among the major agricultural problems facing farmers of the newly reclaimed agricultural area in the Nile Delta region, Egypt. High content of clay and silt characterizes the soil texture of all farms in the...
To address the challenges in identifying NAPL contamination within low-permeability clay sites, this study innovatively integrates high-density electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) with a UNet deep learning model to establish an intelligent contam...
Accurate characterization of underground geological conditions is essential for gas control, geological hazard assessment, and safe coal mining operations. However, conventional geological interpretation methods often suffer from limited spatial accu...
Prostate cancer is one of the most common diseases among men worldwide and continues to pose a serious threat to health. This review shows the history and the new developments in the management of prostate cancer, with an emphasis on a range of thera...
As urban underground spaces and infrastructure development accelerate, subsurface elements such as buried pipelines, integrated utility tunnels, subway tunnels, cavity defects, and deep-seated hidden hazards become increasingly intertwined. Consequen...
Low gas recovery in the Sebei-2 gas field is linked to residual gas trapping under water encroachment. This study investigates the pore-scale trapping behaviour of residual gas in three types of layer: conventional, low-resistivity, and low-acoustic...
Introduction: Glioblastoma (GBM) commonly recurs close to the original gross tumor volume (GTV), suggesting treatment-resistant subregions may be present before radiologically visible progression. This study investigated whether deep learning on appa...
Background: Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) are increasingly recognized as relevant contributors to cardiometabolic alterations and subclinical myocardial dysfunction, independently of overall obesity. Their pathogen...
