A Novel Insight into the Role of PLA2R and THSD7A in Membranous Nephropathy by Pingna Zhang, Weijun Huang, Qiyan Zheng, Jingyi Tang, Zhaocheng Dong, Yuhua Jiang, Yuning Liu, Weijing Liu

“…Membranous nephropathy (MN) is an organ-restricted autoimmune disease mainly caused by circulating autoantibodies against podocyte antigens, including the M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) and thrombospondin domain-containing 7A (THSD7A). Antibodies against PLA2R are present in 70%–80% and against THSD7A in 2% of adult patients, which provides a paradigm shift in molecular diagnosis and management monitoring. …”

Feature Fusion Model Using Transfer Learning and Bidirectional Attention Mechanism for Plant Pipeline Leak Detection by Yujin Han, Yourak Choi, Jonghyuk Lee, Ji-Hoon Bae

“…In Stage 1, one-dimensional convolutional neural networks (1D CNNs) are pre-trained to extract root mean square (RMS) and frequency-domain features from acoustic signals. In Stage 2, the classifier layers of the pre-trained models are removed, and the extracted features are fused and processed using a bidirectional long short-term memory (LSTM) network. …”

Theoretical Analysis of the Optical Response of Silicon/Silica/Gold Multishell Nanoparticles in Biological Tissue by Wajdi Chaabani, Abdallah Chehaidar, Julien Proust, Jérôme Plain

“…The scattering and absorption efficiencies of light by a single silicon/silica/gold spherical multishell in biological tissues are analyzed theoretically in the framework of Lorenz–Mie theory and finite-difference time-domain formalism. We first revised the ideal case of a concentric silicon/gold nanoshell, analyzed the effect of growing a silica layer of uniform thickness around the silicon core, and then examined the effect of an offset of the gold shell with respect to the centre of the silicon/silica nanoshell. …”
