Bifidobacterium species associated with breastfeeding alleviate neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia via the gut microbiota-α-linolenic and linoleic acid metabolism-enterohepatic circulati... by Chunxiu Lin, Yugui Lin, Rui Xiao, Min Guo, Hao Zhang, Wei Chen, Gang Wang

“…Notably, both in vitro intestinal fermentation models and genomic analyses demonstrated that the three Bifidobacterium species cannot synthesize these unsaturated fatty acids due to the lack of related genes. However, data suggested that these species might promote the accumulation of arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid by regulating the gut microbiota’s structure and function. …”

Ginger-derived carbon quantum dots as sustainable inhibitor of steel corrosion and barite precipitation by B. A. Abd-El-Nabey, S. El-Housseiny, D. E. Abd-El-Khalek, M. A. Abd-El-Fatah

“…XPS, XRD, EDX and TEM analysis of the steel’s surface upon submersion in a NaCl solution (0.5 M) + 400 mg/L G-CDs solution for 1 h revealed that the corrosion products completely disappeared, the carbon dots were closely attached to the surface of the steel, and the Cl⁻ ions were displaced from the steel surface, which confirms that the G-CDs function as a superior ecologically friendly inhibitor for mitigating the steel corrosion. …”

Two-Stage Hybrid Machine Learning Model for High-Frequency Intraday Bitcoin Price Prediction Based on Technical Indicators, Variational Mode Decomposition, and Support Vector Regre... by Samuel Asante Gyamerah

“…Due to the inherent chaotic and fractal dynamics in the price series of Bitcoin, this paper proposes a two-stage Bitcoin price prediction model by combining the advantage of variational mode decomposition (VMD) and technical analysis. VMD eliminates the noise signals and stochastic volatility in the price data by decomposing the data into variational mode functions, while technical analysis uses statistical trends obtained from past trading activity and price changes to construct technical indicators. …”

Amplification of Higher-Order Salivary Gland Volume Effects from External Beam Radiotherapy in Normal Tissue Complication Probability Modeling of Radiopharmaceutical Therapy by Chunming Gu, Robert F. Hobbs, Ana P. Kiess, Junghoon Lee, Todd McNutt, Harry Quon, Zhuoyao Xin, Tahir I. Yusufaly

“…In EBRT, salivary glands are usually assumed to be parallel organs, with QUANTEC guidelines based on <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>D</mi><mrow><mi>m</mi><mi>e</mi><mi>a</mi><mi>n</mi></mrow></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>, but this is known to be a gross over-simplification of the full complexity of the underlying functional organization. The goal of this work is to combine machine learning of EBRT dose–outcome data with stylized small-scale RPT dosimetry to discover more reliable normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) models of xerostomia across both modalities. …”
