Shapley additive explanation on machine learning predictions of fatigue lifetimes in piston aluminum alloys under different manufacturing and loading conditions by Mohammad Azadi, Mahmood Matin

“…Moreover, when the optimal ML prediction model was found, it was analyzed using the Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) values method. Results illustrated that extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) had superior data for estimations, with average training coefficients of determination of at least 63% and 90%, respectively for fatigue lifetime and its logarithmic value. …”

Cell-Sonar, an Easy and Low-cost Method to Track a Target Protein by Expression Changes of Specific Protein Markers by Sabrina Brockmöller, Lara Molitor, Franz Worek, Simone Rothmiller

“…Detailed microscopy for protein co-localization detection or omic technologies, which provide holistic network data, are elaborate, mostly complex, and expensive to apply. Our protocol illustrates a method to track a target protein by detecting expression changes of user-selected marker proteins that directly or indirectly interact with the target. …”

Reoperation as a Result of Raised Intracranial Pressure Associated with Cyst Formation in Tumor Cavity after Intracranial Tumor Resection: A Report of Two Cases by Jinlu Yu, Wenji Xiong, Limei Qu, Haiyan Huang

“…Surgical resection of the “valve”-like structure led to slow regression over several months after the reoperation rather than to immediate disappearance of the cyst. Both cases illustrate that the “valve”-like structure formed in the roof region of the tumor resection cavity may be responsible for cyst formation. …”

Bridging the gap: community health workers as a vital link in humanitarian medical responses by Cora P. Nally, Patrick Van de Voorde, Marleen Temmerman, Marleen Temmerman, Adama Koroma, Monique Mitchell, Mary B. Adam

“…Community Health Workers (CHWs) have proven essential in improving health outcomes and building community trust and their role in humanitarian emergency medical responses warrants further study. We illustrate this point with two case studies, the integration of community health workers into Mobile Medical Teams [MMTs] in both The Bahamas and Sierra Leone. …”
