An improved elastic net clustering algorithm with dynamic parameter strategy by Junyan Yi, Maoming Wang, Changsheng Zhou

“…First, we design a novel energy function according to the aim of clustering, which can help the network well distinguish the probability distribution of the data points affiliated with a specific cluster and obtain better clustering solutions, especially for high-dimensional and large-scale problems. Second, a dynamic parameter strategy is introduced into the energy function, which can make the network have higher space searching ability, speed up the expansion and convergence process, and decrease the sensibility of the parameters. …”

Pneumococcal Vaccine in Adults with Bronchopulmonary Pathology: from Prevention to Treatment by A. M. Kostinov, A. A. Tarasova, K. V. Mashilov

“…We also consider it necessary to discuss the possible mechanisms of therapeutic effects after the introduction of a monovaccine against S. pneumoniae, as well as when it is combined with vaccines against Haemophilus influenzae type b infection, and the effectiveness of various vaccination regimens, including complex ones.Conclusions. Convincing arguments are presented proving that the introduction of vaccines against respiratory infections can have not only a reventive value, but also a therapeutic effect, accompanied by a transient restoration of the immune system parameters, as well as a reduction in the contamination or elimination of S. pneumoniae in patients with chronic pathology of the bronchopulmonary system.…”
