Optimizing brain tumor detection in MRI scans through InceptionResNetV2 and deep stacked Autoencoders with SwiGLU activation and sparsity regularization by Vishal Awasthi, Mamta Tiwari, Amit Yadav, Gesu Thakur, Mamata Mayee Panda, Hemant Kumar, Shivneet Tripathi

“…The proposed model integrates InceptionResNetV2 for feature extraction with Deep Stacked Autoencoders (DSAEs) for classification, enhanced by sparsity regularization and the SwiGLU activation function. InceptionResNetV2, pre-trained on ImageNet, was fine-tuned to extract multi-scale features, while the DSAE structure compressed these features to highlight critical attributes essential for classification. …”

Vulnerability-Based Economic Loss Rate Assessment of a Frame Structure Under Stochastic Sequence Ground Motions by Zheng Zhang, Yunmu Jiang, Zixin Liu

“…Using the magnitude difference between a mainshock and an aftershock as the control variable, we derive attenuation relationships for the amplitude, frequency content, and duration. A coherence function model is further developed from real seismic records, treating the mainshock–aftershock pair as a vector-valued stochastic process and thus enabling a more accurate representation of their spectral dependence. …”

Unraveling the transepithelial absorption of novel dark blue pigment from Vaccinium bracteatum Thunb. leaves on the Caco-2 intestinal cell by Mingcong Fan, Weijia Lian, Wenjun Yao, Tingting Li, Jiajia Zhao, Qiang Li, Yanming Guan, Yan Li, Haifeng Qian, Zhiming Rao, Li Wang

“…This study aimed to clarify the absorption properties of DBP in the Caco-2 cell monolayer model and evaluate the effect on the endo-metabolism and barrier function of Caco-2 cells. The results showed that the DBP did not show the dose-dependent toxic effect to Caco-2 cells between 0.25 and 1.5 mg/mL, which did not cause disorder in the normal cell metabolism and absorption activity. …”
