Enhancing global model accuracy in federated learning with deep neuro-fuzzy clustering cyclic algorithm by Chin-Feng Lai, Ying-Hsun Lai, Ming-Chin Kao, Mu-Yen Chen

“…To tackle this problem, we propose a federated clustering cyclic algorithm, which involves two-step clustering of clients to make the data distribution of each cluster approach independent and identically distributed. We also introduce deep neural fuzzy methods to handle fuzzy, uncertain, or incomplete data. …”

Diagnostic Predictive Value of Tryptase, Serum Amyloid A and Lipoprotein-Associated Phospholipase A2 Biomarker Groups for Large Atherosclerotic Cerebral Infarction by Wenhui Jia, Xia Li, Fang Lei, Fengyun Hu, Fenglian Li, Xueying Zhang, Siyu Liu, Feifei Huang, Changxin Li

“…Atherosclerotic plaque rupture followed by dislodgement of emboli and resulting arterial embolism is an important mechanism for the development of acute cerebral infarction. Traditional independent risk factors for cerebral infarction have received attention from clinicians, but the risk factors for large artery atherosclerotic cerebral infarction are still unclear. …”

Negative Video Capsule Endoscopy Had a High Negative Predictive Value for Small Bowel Lesions, but Diagnostic Capability May Be Lower in Young Patients with Overt Bleeding by Sipawath Khamplod, Julajak Limsrivilai, Uayporn Kaosombatwattana, Nonthalee Pausawasdi, Phunchai Charatcharoenwitthaya, Supot Pongprasobchai, Somchai Leelakusolvong

“…Multivariate analysis showed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and presentation of overt bleeding to be independent predictors of rebleeding. There were only nine small bowel lesions (6.3%) missed by VCE. …”

Morphological and genetic polymorphism of the introduced population of <i>Prunus pumila</i> L. in Chelyabinsk Province by M. S. Lezin, S. V. Asbaganov

“…Concurrent inclusion of all primers and genotypes in the cluster analysis failed to group the studied P. pumila samples into clades according to the presence/absence of any traits, which may attest to their close genetic affinity. An independent clade with reliable bootstrap support (100%) was formed only for the genotypes of the taxonomically close sp. …”

Formation of Tumorspheres with Increased Stemness without External Mitogens in a Lung Cancer Model by Juan Sebastian Yakisich, Neelam Azad, Rajkumar Venkatadri, Yogesh Kulkarni, Clayton Wright, Vivek Kaushik, Anand Krishnan V. Iyer

“…In addition, we report that the FDA-approved drug Digitoxin, at concentration close to its therapeutic level, decreased the viability of LTSs and downregulated Sox2 independent of the PI3K/AKT pathway. The potential use of LTSs generated without the addition of any external mitogenic stimulation to study the role of specific factor(s) associated with stemness properties is also discussed.…”

Enhancing proteasome activity by NMDAR antagonists explains their therapeutic effect in neurodegenerative and mental diseases by Fikret Sahin, Aslihan Gunel, Buse Turegun Atasoy, Ulku Guler, Bekir Salih, Isinsu Kuzu, Mehmet Taspinar, Ozgur Cinar, Selda Kahveci

“…Furthermore, the altered proteins exhibited enrichment in terms related to plasticity and potentiation, including retrograde endocannabinoid signaling—a pivotal pathway in both short- and long-term plasticity that may elucidate the long-lasting effects of ketamine in major depression. Via the ubiquitin-independent 20S proteasome pathway (UIPS), these drugs maintain cellular protein homeostasis, which is crucial as proteasome activity declines with age, leading to protein aggregation and disease symptoms. …”

Rapid and Nondestructive Determination of Egg Freshness Category and Marked Date of Lay using Spectral Fingerprint by Thomas O. S. Akowuah, Ernest Teye, Julius Hagan, Kwasi Nyandey

“…For eggs stored in ambient storage, LDA had 95.54% identification rate at 5 principal components, while at cold storage LDA has 100% identification rate at 5 principal components for determining the marked date of lay, and partial least square regression (PLS-R) gave R = 0.87 and RMSEI = 2.57 for ambient storage and R = 0.88 and RMSEI = 2.66 for cold storage in independent set, respectively. The results show that handheld spectrometer and multivariate analysis could be used for rapid and nondestructive measurement of egg freshness. …”
