The effect of infra low frequency–neurofeedback training on pistol shooting performance and attention in semi-skilled players by Safoura Bakhtafrooz, Maryam Kavyani, Alireza Farsi, Saeed Alboghebeish

“…The present study explores a pivotal question: Can Infra-Low Frequency (ILF) Neurofeedback, acknowledged for its influence on arousal, vigilance, and emotional states, effectively enhance both attention generally and shooting performance specifically? Additionally, we explored whether the training exerted beneficial effects on three attentional networks—Conflict, Orienting, and Alerting.MethodsTo assess shooting performance, we employed the Shooter’s Coordination Analysis Target Training (SCATT), while attention networks were gauged through the Attention Network Test (ANT). …”

A Hybrid Prognostic Approach for Remaining Useful Life Prediction of Lithium-Ion Batteries by Wen-An Yang, Maohua Xiao, Wei Zhou, Yu Guo, Wenhe Liao

“…Empirical comparisons show that the proposed hybrid prognostic approach using the selective kernel ensemble-based RVM learning algorithm performs better than the hybrid prognostic approaches using the popular learning algorithms of feedforward artificial neural networks (ANNs) like the conventional backpropagation (BP) algorithm and support vector machines (SVMs). In addition, an investigation is also conducted to identify the effects of RVM learning algorithm on the proposed hybrid prognostic approach.…”

An Improved Pearson’s Correlation Proximity-Based Hierarchical Clustering for Mining Biological Association between Genes by P. M. Booma, S. Prabhakaran, R. Dhanalakshmi

“…To monitor higher rate of expression levels between genes, a hierarchical clustering model was proposed, where the biological association between genes is measured simultaneously using proximity measure of improved Pearson's correlation (PCPHC). Additionally, the Seed Augment algorithm adopts average linkage methods on rows and columns in order to expand a seed PCPHC model into a maximal global PCPHC (GL-PCPHC) model and to identify association between the clusters. …”

DMRIntTk: Integrating different DMR sets based on density peak clustering. by Wenjin Zhang, Wenlong Jie, Wanxin Cui, Guihua Duan, You Zou, Xiaoqing Peng

“…Our results show that DMRIntTk can effectively trim regions with small methylation differences from the original DMR sets and thereby enriching the proportion of DMRs with larger methylation differences. In addition, the overlap analysis suggests that the integrated DMR sets are quite comprehensive, and functional analyses indicate the integrated disease-related DMRs are significantly enriched in biological pathways associated with the pathological mechanisms of the diseases. …”
