Profit Malmquist Index and Its Global Form in the Presence of the Negative Data in DEA by Ghasem Tohidi, Shabnam Razavyan, Simin Tohidnia

“…This paper first introduces the allocative and profit efficiency in the presence of the negative data and then presents a new circular index to measure the productivity change of decision making units (DMUs) for the case that the dataset contains the inputs and/or outputs with the negative values in data envelopment analysis (DEA). …”

Chinese Chat Room: AI Hallucinations, Epistemology and Cognition by Šekrst Kristina

“…Along with terminological issues, it is demonstrated that AI systems, comparable to human cognition, are susceptible to errors in judgement and reasoning, and proposes that epistemological frameworks, such as reliabilism, can be similarly applied to enhance the trustworthiness of AI outputs. This exploration seeks to deepen our understanding of the possibility of AI cognition and its implications for the broader philosophical questions of knowledge and intelligence.…”

The Conundrum of Septic Shock Imitators in Patients with Hematologic Cancers: Case Presentation and Possible Differential Diagnoses by Giorgio Berlot, Giulia Moratelli, Martina Tarchini, Katiuscia Battaglia, Paolo Grassi, Nadia Zarrillo, Vincenzo Colella, Rossana Bussani

“…One daafter the last cycle, he was admitted to our Intensive Care Unit with a septic shock-like clinical picture which didn’t respond to the aggressive treatment and the patient died a few hours later. The autoptical findings cast some doubts on the diagnosis, and demonstrated the presence of other factors imitating its symptoms. …”

WGRe:a re-encryption anonymous tunnel by LU Tian-bo1, QIN Bao-shan2, LI Yang3, DING Li1

“…The universal re-encryption scheme URE and its extension EURE were reviewed,discovering their vulnerabilities to Pfitzmann attack.Then a novel re-encryption scheme WGRe（WonGoo Re-encryption） was proposed.WGRe could en-sure the correctness of the outputs from a node and protect against replay attack,which was hard in layered encryption sys-tems.The experimental results show WGRe is practical and more efficient than URE and EURE schemes due to the fact that its ciphertext is only double the size of the corresponding plaintext,instead of four times as URE or EURE.…”

Hairy transcriptional repression targets and cofactor recruitment in Drosophila. by Daniella Bianchi-Frias, Amir Orian, Jeffrey J Delrow, Julio Vazquez, Alicia E Rosales-Nieves, Susan M Parkhurst

“…We have identified 59 putative transcriptional targets of Hairy. In addition to finding putative targets for Hairy in segmentation, we find groups of targets suggesting roles for Hairy in cell cycle, cell growth, and morphogenesis, processes that must be coordinately regulated with pattern formation. …”

Alu-Sc-mediated exonization generated a mitochondrial LKB1 gene variant found only in higher order primates by Ivan Tan, Sonia Chothani, Hong-Hwa Lim, Kong-Peng Lam

“…Here we examined the formation of this novel exon 1b and uncovered its relatively late emergence during evolution. Analyses of putative exon 1b genomic sequences within the primate superfamily indicated that the exonization of LKB1/STK11 exon 1b was mediated by the conserved retrotransposable element Alu-Sc. …”

Non-interference trusted model based on processes by ZHANG Xing1, CHEN You-lei2, SHEN Chang-xiang2

“…A novel abstract model for the design of trusted computing platform system was proposed.By using the basic idea of non-interference theory as reference and introduces the reasoning method of process algebra, thus abstracting the system as processes, actions, states and outputs, and giving the formal definition of the trusted of process running.Process isolation trusted theorem was verified formally.Furthermore, by associating process with system state, the definition and the theorem of system running trusted was proposed.The model was established by logic reasoning and independent of special security mechanism and enforcement.The trust of the running system can be realized by any method which satisfies the conditions of the model.…”

M-estimate like correlation based algorithm for direction of arrival estimation under alpha-stable environments by Jin-feng ZHANG, Tian-shuang QIU, Ai-min SONG, Hong TANG, Na WANG

“…A novel class of bounded statistics,namely,the M-estimate like correlation (MELC) for independently identi-cal distributed symmetric alpha-stable (SαS) random variables was defined.Based on the MELC matrix for the array sensor outputs,a new algorithm for direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in the presence of complex SαS noise was proposed.The comprehensive Monte-Carlo simulation results show that the MELC-MUSIC algorithm not only outper-forms the fractional lower order statistics (FLOS) based MUSIC algorithms under low SNR conditions and multi-source signals environment,but also is robust with circular and noncircular signals.…”
