Detection of Jihadism in Social Networks Using Big Data Techniques Supported by Graphs and Fuzzy Clustering by Cristina Sánchez-Rebollo, Cristina Puente, Rafael Palacios, Claudia Piriz, Juan P. Fuentes, Javier Jarauta

“…Then, fuzzy clustering techniques were used to classify users in profiles, with the advantage over other classifications techniques of providing a probability for each profile instead of a binary categorization. Algorithms were tested using public database from Kaggle and other Twitter extraction techniques. …”

The Effectiveness of a Nondiet Multidisciplinary Weight Reduction Program for Severe Overweight Patients with Psychological Comorbidities by Bettina Bannert, Wolfgang Schobersberger, Ulrich Tran, Andreas Remmel

“…The relative weight reduction was −6.9 ± 3.9%; (Friedman test P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis for n=79 revealed that the achievement of the weight reduction goal (0.5 kg per week; predictors: sex, incidence of MTS, duration of in-patient therapy, psychological symptoms, BMI and activity level at baseline) was associated with a shorter duration of in-patient therapy (P=0.007) and higher BMI at baseline (P=0.010). …”

Establishing a CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing framework in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.) by targeting phytoene desaturase (PDS) gene disruption by Kameshwaran Senthil, Maniraj Rathinam, Manisha Parashar, Narasimham Dokka, Shaily Tyagi, Vandana Mathur, Sandhya Sharma, Kishor Gaikwad, Ramcharan Bhattacharya, Rohini Sreevathsa

“…We developed pigeonpea-compatible vector components, including the CcU6_7.1 promoter and an amenable Cas9 gene driven by the potato ubiquitin promoter, creating a pigeonpea-specific CRISPR/Cas9 binary vector (PP_CRISPR_pCAMBIA2301). The system was validated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated apical meristem-targeted in planta and in vitro embryonic axis explant transformations, with gene knockout confirmed by albino/bleached phenotypes. …”

Distributed Energy Management of the Hybrid AC/DC Microgrid with High Penetration of Distributed Energy Resources Based on ADMM by Yaling Chen, Luxi Hao, Gaowen Yin

“…Then, the MIQP model is decomposed and distributed into smaller-scale QP models between subgrids using the P-ADMM algorithm, which can handle binary variables through projection functions. The numerical results conducted on the hybrid microgrid demonstrate that the proposed distributed scheme can effectively achieve optimal energy management for the hybrid AC/DC microgrid in a distributed manner.…”

Same or Different? Comparing the Coverage Rate of Five Different Approaches for Testing the Difference of Two Groups Means by Bittmann, Felix

“…We utilize the coverage of confidence intervals as it corresponds to nominal type-I-error rates (Alpha), yet is more adequate since confidence intervals are preferred in contrast to p-values, which often facilitate binary conclusions. The approaches tested are the classical t-test, Welch’s t-test, OLS regressions with robust standard errors, and two flavors of bootstrapping (normal and bias-corrected). …”

Deep patch‐wise supervision for presentation attack detection by Alperen Kantarcı, Hasan Dertli, Hazım Kemal Ekenel

“…To mitigate this problem, the authors propose a Deep Patch‐wise Supervision Presentation Attack Detection (DPS‐PAD) model approach that combines pixel‐wise binary supervision with patch‐based CNN. The authors’ experiments show that the proposed patch‐based method forces the model not to memorise the background information or data set‐specific traces. …”
