Prolonged poweroutages, often caused by weatherevents, hit some parts of the US harder than others NatureComms
We also calculated an absolute outage metric: annual average county-level customers without power. This metric identifies counties where the greatest absolute count of customers experienced loss of power. Because county-level customer density differs dramatically, we also computed a second absolute metric: annual average county-level number of minutes without power per customer. This metric is similar to the System Average Interruption Duration Index .
Characterizing power outage exposure – especially when investigating disparities – necessitates both relative and absolute metrics. Our relative metric for outage events accounts for county customer density so that we may compare across counties. Our absolute metrics for outage experiences identify counties with the highest count of affected customers and the geographic distribution of total time without power.
Another group vulnerable to the consequences of outages are disadvantaged communities requiring extra support before, during, and after disasters. To identify such counties, we used the US Centers for Disease Control and Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry’s Social Vulnerability Index . SVI has the stated purpose to identify specific areas that may need additional disaster-related support.

Cross-modal autoencoder framework learns holistic representations of cardiovascular state - Nature CommunicationsA challenge in diagnostics is integrating different data modalities to characterize physiological state. Here, the authors show, using the heart as a model system, that cross-modal autoencoders can integrate and translate modalities to improve diagnostics and identify associated genetic variants.

A hypothalamic pathway that suppresses aggression toward superior opponents - Nature NeuroscienceTo fight or not to fight? Wei et al. show that Esr1 cells in the mouse cMPOA encode the fighting capability of male opponents and use this information to suppress aggression toward superior opponents by inhibiting attack-mediating ventromedial hypothalamus cells.
