New Computer Model Can Predict the Length of a Household’s Displacement in Any U.S. Community After a Disaster
Society for Risk Analysis (SRA)

In a new study published by Risk Analysis uses recent, disaster-related data from the Household Pulse Survey (HPS) to train a computer model to predict the length of household displacement and return outcomes after a disaster. The study is the first to use state-by-state data from the U.S. Census Bureau to quantify the contribution of different factors (including household size, tenure status, educational attainment, and income per household member) on household displacement and return.

Matrix Stiffness and Energy Crisis in Spinal Discs: A New Pathway to Combat Degeneration
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A pioneering study has revealed that increased stiffness in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of spinal discs impairs energy production in nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs), a key factor in intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). The research identifies the protein MRTF-A as a critical regulator in this process, showing that its activation under stiff conditions suppresses glycolysis, the primary energy source for NPCs.

Small Practice Radiologists and Those Reporting Individual Face Disadvantages in MIPS Scoring, Highlighting Need for Reform
Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute

New Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute research found significant differences in performance across radiologists in the CMS Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). The researchers examined a broad range of radiologist and practice characteristics and identified the set of factors that predicted whether a radiologist would score exceptionally, and thus receive the highest payment bonus, or would fail to meet this bar. The study, published today in the Journal of the American College of Radiology, found that the strongest predictor of a radiologist’s lower performance was reporting as an individual clinician, rather than as part of a group of physicians or an Advanced Payment Model (APM) entity. Individual radiologists were 7.4 times more likely to fail to achieve “exceptional” status than group reporting radiologists, indicating potential disadvantage in the MIPS program.

Beyond the Burn: Harvesting Dead Wood to Reduce Wildfires and Store Carbon
Florida Atlantic University

A century of fire suppression, climate change, and drought has worsened wildfires in the Western U.S. While prescribed burns help reduce fuel, a “fire deficit” increases wildfire risks, with significant health and environmental impacts. Deforestation and pests further limit carbon storage. Emulating Indigenous practices, a new study shows that combining physical harvesting of dead wood with thinning reduces wildfire risks, lowers carbon emissions, and boosts carbon storage through products like biochar.

Zero-Shot AI for Remote Sensing: A New Pipeline for Automated Image Segmentation
Chinese Academy of Sciences

Researchers have developed a pipeline that integrates zero-shot AI detection and segmentation tools to achieve robust, automated segmentation of remote sensing images. By leveraging a sliding window hyper-inference approach and an outlier rejection step, the pipeline enhances the identification of features such as buildings, trees, and vehicles in aerial and satellite imagery. This solution is implemented as a user-friendly Python package, LangRS, making advanced remote sensing segmentation accessible to a wide range of users.
