Deep learning captures the effect of epistasis in multifactorial diseases by Vladislav Perelygin, Alexey Kamelin, Alexey Kamelin, Nikita Syzrantsev, Layal Shaheen, Layal Shaheen, Anna Kim, Nikolay Plotnikov, Anna Ilinskaya, Valery Ilinsky, Alexander Rakitko, Alexander Rakitko, Maria Poptsova

“…For machine learning methods we used multilayer perceptron (MLP), convolutional neural network (CNN) and recurrent neural network (RNN), Lasso regression, random forest and gradient boosting models. Performance of machine learning models were assessed using accuracy, AUC-ROC, AUC-PR, recall, precision, and F1 score.ResultsFirst, we tested ensemble tree methods and deep learning neural networks against LASSO linear regression model on simulated data with different types and strength of epistasis. …”

Discussion on the Theoretical Basis for Cross-Over Method Applied to Downhole Wave Velocity Test by Qing Dong, Zheng-hua Zhou, Su Jie, Bing Hao, Yuan-dong Li

“…At engineering practice, the theoretical basis for the cross-over method, used to obtain shear wave arrival time in the downhole method of the wave velocity test by surface forward and backward strike, is that the polarity of P-wave keeps the same, while the polarity of S-wave transforms when the direction of strike inverted. …”

Spectroscopic and Morphological Studies of Metal-Organic and Metal-Free Dyes onto Titania Films for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells by Gabriella Di Carlo, Daniela Caschera, Roberta G. Toro, Cristina Riccucci, Gabriel M. Ingo, Giuseppina Padeletti, Luisa De Marco, Giuseppe Gigli, Giovanna Pennesi, Gloria Zanotti, Anna M. Paoletti, Nicola Angelini

“…Three type of titania films with different morphology, characterized by SEM and FT-IR measurement, were considered: a mesoporous transparent film deposited by spin-coating (TiMS), a semiopaque film deposited by doctor-blade from mesoporous titania (TiMS_DB) and a semiopaque film deposited by doctor-blade form commercial P25 titania (P25_DB). The use of TiMS is responsible for the adsorption of a higher amount of dye since the mesoporous structure allows increasing the interfacial area between dye and titania. …”

Optimizing Pinned Nodes to Maximize the Convergence Rate of Multiagent Systems with Digraph Topologies by Yujuan Han, Wenlian Lu, Tianping Chen, Changkai Sun

“…In the case of sufficiently small pinning strength, perturbation methods are employed to derive formulas in terms of asymptotics that indicate that the left eigenvector corresponding to eigenvalue zero of the Laplacian measures the importance of node in pinning control multiagent systems if the underlying network has a spanning tree, whereas for the network with no spanning trees, the left eigenvectors of the Laplacian matrix corresponding to eigenvalue zero can be used to select the optimal pinned node set. …”
