Relationship between albumin-globulin ratio and prostate-specific antigen: a cross-sectional study based on NHANES 2003–2010 by Simeng Gao, Shaojie Li, Baofang Wu, Jiayin Wang, Sijuan Ding, Zhaohui Tang

“…Methods This cross-sectional investigation used comprehensive AGR versus PSA data from men with 40 years of age and older, who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2003 to 2010, spanning 4 investigation cycles, as only these cycles contained complete PSA data. To evaluate the nonlinear relationship between the ARG and PSA level, a regression utilizing smoothed curve fitting (penalized spline approach) and a generalized additive model (GAM) were employed. …”

IMTLM-Net: improved multi-task transformer based on localization mechanism network for handwritten English text recognition by Qianfeng Zhang, Feng Liu, Wanru Song

“…To address the above issue, on the one hand, this paper extends the existing dataset and introduces hyphenated data annotation to provide data support for improving the robustness and discrimination of the model; on the other hand, a novel framework named Improved Multi-task Transformer based on Localization Mechanism Network (IMTLM-Net) is proposed for handwritten English text recognition. IMTLM-Net contains two parts, namely the encoding and decoding modules. …”

Effect of SiO2 on thermal conductivity of methane by Yuanchao LIU, Tingting ZHAO, Xinhao LIU, Yuanning WANG

“…The EMD method and NEMD method are used to verify that the existence of SiO2 gaps is conducive to the formation and storage of methane hydrate, and the simulated thermal conductivity values are close to the measured values. SiO2 containing gaps can significantly reduce the thermal conductivity of the simulated system, which is conducive to the formation and storage of methane hydrate.…”
