Theta transcranial alternating current stimulation over the prefrontal cortex enhances theta power and working memory performance by Ranjan Debnath, Osama Elyamany, Osama Elyamany, Jona Ruben Iffland, Jonas Rauh, Michael Siebert, Elisa Andraes, Gregor Leicht, Christoph Mulert, Christoph Mulert

“…This study investigated whether 5 Hz tACS could modulate neural oscillations in the prefrontal cortex and how this modulation impacts performance in working memory (WM) tasks.MethodIn two sessions, 28 healthy participants received 5 Hz tACS or sham stimulation over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) while performing tasks with high and low WM loads. Resting-state EEG was recorded before and after stimulations for 5 minutes. …”

Evolving View of Coronary Artery Calcium: A Personalized Shared Decision-Making Tool in Primary Prevention by Omar Dzaye, Cara Reiter-Brennan, Albert D. Osei, Olusola A. Orimoloye, S. M. Iftekhar Uddin, Mohammadhassan Mirbolouk, Michael J. Blaha

“…This additional subclassification reflects the uncertainty of treatment strategies for patients broadly considered to be “intermediate risk,” as treatment recommendations for high- and low-risk groups are well established. The 2018 guidelines, for the first time, clearly recognize the significance of a CAC score of zero, where intensive statin therapy is likely not beneficial and not routinely recommended in selected patients. …”

Zero-day exploits detection with adaptive WavePCA-Autoencoder (AWPA) adaptive hybrid exploit detection network (AHEDNet) by Ahmed A. Mohamed, Abdullah Al-Saleh, Sunil Kumar Sharma, Ghanshyam G. Tejani

“…Furthermore, a novel “Adaptive Hybrid Exploit Detection Network (AHEDNet)” was introduced which address the dynamic ensemble adaptation issue where the accuracy of anomaly detection is very high with low false positives. The experimental results show the proposed model outperforms the other models of dataset 1 in accuracy of 0.988086 and 0.990469, precision of 0.987976 and 0.990628, recall of 0.988298 and 0.990435, with the lowest Hamming Loss of 0.011914 and 0.009531, also, the proposed model outperforms the other models of dataset 2 in accuracy of 0.9819 and 0.9919, precision of 0.9868 and 0.9968, recall of 0.9813 and 0.9923, with the lowest Hamming Loss of 0.0209 and 0.0109, thus the proposed model outperformed the other models in detecting zero-day exploits.…”

Street Quality Measurement and Accessibility Analysis Based on Streetscape Data: The Case of Mingcheng District in Xi’an City by Wenting Zhang, Jiajing Chen, Yixin Tian

“…The findings indicate the following: (1) The spatial quality of streets in Mingcheng District ranges from 1.89 to 5.61, based on the scores ranked from highest to lowest; the streets are categorized into five quality levels: very high, high, medium, low, and very low. (2) Using a radius of 0.8 km for calculation, streets with a centrality value of 600 or above are classified as having high accessibility, whereas those below this threshold are considered to have low accessibility. (3) By constructing a “quality–accessibility” evaluation matrix, the following distribution is obtained: 21.4% of streets are classified as high-quality and high-accessibility, 27.1% as high-quality but low-accessibility, 35.3% as low-quality but high-accessibility, and 16.3% as both low-quality and low-accessibility. (4) A significant correlation exists between street quality, accessibility, and the classification of streets in Mingcheng District. …”

Bioinformatic Analysis Reveals Central Role for Tumor-Infiltrating Immune Cells in Uveal Melanoma Progression by Mieszko Lachota, Anton Lennikov, Karl-Johan Malmberg, Radoslaw Zagozdzon

“…Genes associated with tryptophan metabolism (IDO1 and KYNU) and metalloproteinases were among the most differentially expressed between the high- and low-risk groups. Our correlation analyses interpreted in context of published in vitro data strongly suggest the central role of CD8+ T cells in shifting the UM tumor microenvironment towards suppressive and metastasis-promoting. …”
