Recurrence of Dysplastic Nevi Is Strongly Associated with Extension of the Lesions to the Lateral Margins and into the Deep Margins through the Hair Follicles in the Original Shave... by Amin Maghari

“…When followed up for two years, DN, with positive shave margins, defined by extension or very close extension (≤0.2 mm) of the lesions to the lateral margins and into the deep margins through the hair follicles in the shave removal specimens, have a higher probability of recurrence than DN with negative (or clear) margins (odds ratio (OR) = 158; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 36.62–683; P<0.001). …”

Evolutionary Game for Dual-Subject Coopetition Relationship in the Product–Service System by Chunliu Zhou, Nannan Shen, Xinxin Zhou, Jianhua Cao, Hongfeng Dong

“…Finally, key findings include (1) the variations of market service demand and technology diffusion revenue drive strategy evolution; (2) the unilateral cooperation cost presents the law of diminishing marginal effect, especially on EOEs; (3) an optimal profit distribution ratio exists, which has the most impact on the probability of cooperation. This study informs coopetitive development and decision-making in the service-oriented transformation of the manufacturing industry.…”

Lane-Changing Behavior Prediction Based on Game Theory and Deep Learning by Shuo Jia, Fei Hui, Cheng Wei, Xiangmo Zhao, Jianbei Liu

“…In the game theory component, the interaction between vehicles during lane changing is analyzed according to the running state of the vehicle, with the probability of lane changing as its output. For the deep-learning component, long short-term memory and a convolutional neural network are used to extract and learn data features during the lane-changing process as well as combine the output of the game theory component to obtain the prediction result of whether the vehicle will change lanes. …”

Joint DOA and Polarization Estimation for Unequal Power Sources by Qingyuan Fang, Yong Han, Ming Jin, Wenyi Dong

“…The computer simulations illustrate that the proposed method can effectively estimate the DOA and polarization parameters as the power difference between sources increases, as opposed to the polarimetric multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm, which suffers from degradation in resolution probability. In addition, the performances of the proposed method are provided, as well the Cramer Rao Bound (CRB), which show approximate performance as the polarimetric MUSIC algorithm.…”
