Removal of Cd(II) and Cu(II) from Aqueous Solution by Na+-Modified Pisha Sandstone by Xia Wang, Yongxing Cui, Qi Peng, Chenbin Fan, Zhiqin Zhang, Xingchang Zhang

“…The values of the thermodynamic parameters indicated that the interactions were spontaneous endothermic reactions. Binary solutions adsorption isotherms indicated that the linearity of the adsorption amount and initial concentration of Cu(II) and Cd(II) was better in certain ranges and the adsorbents were selective towards Cu(II) rather than Cd(II). …”

Gendered Cartographies in Melissa Scott’s Science Fiction: Queering Shadow Man (1995) by Beatriz Hermida Ramos

“…In the text, Scott presents both a seemly all-inclusive place where different gender identities, sexual orientations and sex differences are recognized and accepted, as well as a second national space where the gender binary and heteronormativity are not only heavily endorsed but also seen as a prerequisite to belong and be recognized as human. …”

A Novel Differentially Private Online Learning Algorithm for Group Lasso in Big Data by Jinxia Li, Liwei Lu

“…By enhancing the group-follow-the-proximally-regularized-leader (GFTPRL) algorithm, we have created a new method for the online group lasso model that integrates differential privacy for binary classification in logistic regression. The research offers a solid validation of the algorithm’s effectiveness based on differential privacy and online learning principles. …”

On the development of diagnostic support algorithms based on CPET biosignals data via machine learning and wavelets by Rafael F. Pinheiro, Rui Fonseca-Pinto

“…The model was trained on CPET data from 45 participants, including 15 with MS, 15 with HF, and 15 healthy controls. For binary classification tasks, the SVM with a polynomial kernel and 5-level wavelet transform (SVM-POL-BW5) outperformed similar methods described in the literature. …”

Rural Households’ Vulnerability to Food Insecurity and Its Determinants in North Shewa Zone of Ethiopia by Debebe Cheber, Fekadu Beyene, Jema Haji, Tesfaye Lemma

“…The factors which influenced vulnerability to food insecurity were analyzed using binary logistic regression model. Accordingly, based on the intensity of their vulnerability, households were grouped as chronic food insecure (43.72%), transient food insecure (12.57%), highly vulnerable-food secure (16.23%), and low vulnerable-food secure (27.49%). …”

A Comparison Study on Rule Extraction from Neural Network Ensembles, Boosted Shallow Trees, and SVMs by Guido Bologna, Yoichi Hayashi

“…In this work, based on the Discretized Interpretable Multilayer Perceptron (DIMLP), experiments were performed on 10 repetitions of stratified 10-fold cross-validation trials over 25 binary classification problems. The DIMLP architecture allowed us to produce rules from DIMLP ensembles, boosted shallow trees (BSTs), and Support Vector Machines (SVM). …”

Subclinical systolic dysfunction in children with steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome identified by speckle tracking echocardiography by Mohamed Hashem Mahgoob, Amr Mostafa Setouhi

“…The left ventricle global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) was markedly lower in children with SRNS than in healthy controls and NS patients (the diseased controls) (P = 0.001). Multiple binary regression analysis for the predictors of systolic dysfunction in SRNS patients revealed that the serum albumin is the only variable that predicts systolic dysfunction in these children. …”

Enhancing Software Requirements Classification with Semisupervised GAN-BERT Technique by Gregorius Airlangga

“…Our research is primarily centered on developing a semisupervised methodology that hinges on GAN-BERT, introducing two datasets for the requirements of the engineering community and delivering comparative studies that consider a variety of classifiers and two labeling paradigms, namely, binary and multi. Remarkably, even with fewer data in a multiclassification scenario, our model outperforms other classifiers when assessing data from both identical and different domains.…”
