Death and disappearance: Measuring racial disparities in mortality and life expectancy among people in state prisons, United States 2000-2014. by Bryan L Sykes, Ernest K Chavez, Justin D Strong

“…<h4>Methods</h4>Drawing on a novel dataset created and curated, we calculate standard, age- specific quantities (death rates and life-expectancy) using period lifetable methods, disaggregated by race and sex, across three different periods (2000-2004, 2005-2009, and 2010-2014) for each state. …”

Hypothermia regulates mitophagy and apoptosis via PINK1/Parkin-VDAC 3 signaling pathway during oxygen-glucose deprivation/recovery injury by Luying Zhang, Song Yang, Hao Cui, Chenchen Hang, Xingsheng Wang, Le An, Zhenyu Shan, Zhen Liang, Rui Shao, Ziren Tang

“…In conclusion, the potential mechanisms of hypothermia during oxygen-glucose deprivation/recovery could be summarized as follows:1) At 2 h after temperature intervention, hypothermia provided neuroprotective effects via promoting mitophagy and reducing apoptosis through activating the PINK1/Parkin-VDAC3 signaling pathway. 2) The curative effect of hypothermia was timeliness. At 4 h after temperature intervention, hypothermia aggravated apoptosis through inhibiting Parkin recruitment to mitochondria and aggravating the release of Cyt C through open mPTP.…”

cigFacies: a massive-scale benchmark dataset of seismic facies and its application by H. Gao, X. Wu, X. Sun, M. Hou, M. Hou, H. Gao, G. Wang, H. Sheng

“…Guided by the graph, we then implement the three strategies of field seismic data curation, knowledge-guided synthesization, and generative adversarial network (GAN)-based generation to construct a benchmark dataset of 8000 diverse samples for five common seismic facies. …”
