The preoperative neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio is not a marker of prostate cancer characteristics but is an independent predictor of biochemical recurrence in patients receiving r... by Zhi Cao, Jin Ji, Chao Zhang, Fubo Wang, Huan Xu, Yongwei Yu, Yinghao Sun

“…When we dichotomized the NLR value into the high‐NLR group (NLR ≥ 2) and low‐NLR group (NLR < 2), we found that the patients in the high‐NLR group had more prostate capsule invasion (P = 0.047). Additionally, no significant correlation was found between the NLR and infiltrating CD3+ cells, the CD4/CD8 ratio, AR, ERG, PTEN, p‐AKT, Bcl‐2, Beclin‐1, Ki‐67, IFN‐γ or TNF‐α (P > 0.05). …”

A combined model of shoot phosphorus uptake based on sparse data and active learning algorithm by Tianli Wang, Yi Zhang, Haiyan Liu, Fei Li, Dayong Guo, Ning Cao, Yubin Zhang

“…Results show that (1) the prediction accuracy of the combined prediction model has been greatly improved compared with simple empirical prediction models, with accuracy test results of R2 = 0.87, root mean square error = 2.39 kg/ha, and relative percentage difference = 2.71. (2) In performance tests with different sample sizes, two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy i.e., first-order differentially enhanced two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (1Der-2DCOS) and two-trace 2DCOS of enhanced filling and milk stages (filling-milk-2T2DCOS)) can effectively and robustly extract spectral trait relationships, with good robustness, and can achieve efficient prediction based on small samples. (3) The hybrid model constrained by the Newton-Raphson-based optimizer’s active learning method can effectively filter localized simulation data and achieve localization of simulation data in different regions when solving practical problems, improving the hybrid model’s prediction accuracy. …”
