Migraine and restless legs syndrome – is there an association? by D. Bučaitė, J. Normantas, G. Žemgulytė

“…It is believed that the occurrence of both diseases is determined by several pathophysiological factors, such as the activity of the dopamin- ergic system, iron deficiency, genetic predisposition, and changes in the gray matter of the brain. Although the association between restless legs syndrome and migraine is being investigated, the predominant pathophysiological link has not yet been established. …”

Trust evaluation optimization mechanism for cloud user behavior based on FANP by Yi ZHANG, Liqin TIAN, Zenan WU, Wenxing WU

“…The open cloud computing environment is facing security challenges and the traditional user behavior evaluation mechanism cannot guarantee the security of the cloud.In order to scientifically and quantitatively evaluate the user’s behavior trust, ensure the scientific and reasonable weight assignment, improve the security and credibility of user behavior under the cloud platform, a trust evaluation optimization mechanism combined with fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) was designed.In the proposal, user behavior trust evaluation based on one control target was extended to include two control target modules which were historical access behavior and current access environment.At the same time, the historical access behavior module was divided into two aspects: conventional behavior and gray behavior, and the current access environment module was divided into two directions: information integrity and access security.The corresponding control criteria was divided to construct the analytic network process (ANP) model under different control objectives.The limit hypermatrix under each target module was calculated to obtain the final stability weight of each element with the help of network analytic hierarchy process software.And the real user behavior data under the development platform was selected to comprehensively calculate the trust degree under different modules as the final behavior evaluation result.The expansion of the user behavior evaluation module refined the evaluation granularity, which makes the evaluation results more objective and accurate.In the cloud environment with the same malicious ratio, the optimization mechanism has better recognition effect, and it can identify cloud users with low trust efficiently and effectively, so as to improve the security and legitimacy of the cloud.At the same time, it also provids new research direction for solving the problem of user security and credibility, and effective risk control in the cloud environment.…”

SSA-ELM Hydrological Time Series Forecast Model Based on Wavelet Packet Decomposition and Phase Space Reconstruction by LI Lude, CUI Dongwen

“…Considering the nonlinear and multi-scale characteristics of hydrological time series,this paper proposes a squirrel search algorithm (SSA)-extreme learning machine (ELM) forecasting model based on wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) and phase space reconstruction.It is then applied to the Shangguo Hydrological Station in Yunnan Province for monthly runoff and precipitation forecasting.Specifically,WPD is performed to decompose the runoff and precipitation time series data,and the Cao method is applied to reconstruct the phase space of each subseries component.Then,the principle of SSA is outlined,and objective functions are constructed through the training samples of each component.The objective functions are optimized by SSA,and the results are compared with the optimization results of the whale optimization algorithm (WOA),the gray wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm,and the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm.Finally,the weight of the ELM input layer and the hidden layer bias obtained by optimization based on SSA,WOA,GWO algorithm,and PSO algorithm,respectively,are utilized to build SSA-ELM,WOA-ELM,GWO-ELM,and PSO-ELM models,which,in addition to the unoptimized ELM models,are applied to forecast each subseries component,and the forecast results are summed and reconstructed to obtain the final forecasting results.The results show that SSA outperforms WOA,GWO algorithm,and PSO algorithm in optimizing the objective functions of each component and that it offers better optimization accuracy.The mean relative error,mean absolute error,mean square root error,and forecast pass rate of the proposed SSA-ELM model for monthly runoff and monthly precipitation forecast are 5.32% and 3.84%,0.078 m³/s and 0.169 mm,0.103 m³/s and 0.209 mm,97.5% and 95.8%,respectively,indicating that its forecasting accuracy is higher than that of other models such as the WOA-ELM model.…”

Unveiling molecular insights: in silico exploration of TLR4 antagonist for management of dry eye syndrome by Kothandan Sudhakar, Neeru Dugar, Srikanth Jupudi, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuppusamy Gowthamarajan

“…Root mean square deviation of celastrol/2Z63 was in the range of 1.8–4.8 Å.Conclusion In particular, Glu376 of TLR4 receptor is crucial for the identification and binding of lipopolysaccharides (LPS), which are part of Gram-negative bacteria’s outer membrane. In our investigation, celastrol binds to Glu376, suggesting that celastrol may prevent the dry eye syndrome by inhibiting LPS’s binding to TLR4.…”
