Laparoscopic and Open Distal Pancreatectomy—An Initial Single-Institution Experience with a Propensity Score Matching Analysis by Irena Plahuta, Žan Šarenac, Medeja Golob, Špela Turk, Bojan Ilijevec, Tomislav Magdalenić, Stojan Potrč, Arpad Ivanecz

“…The laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy group (LDP) was compared to the open distal pancreatectomy group (ODP). A propensity score matching analysis (PSM) was performed. From 2016 to 2023, 108 distal pancreatectomies were carried out, 19 (17.6%) laparoscopically and 89 (82.4%) openly. …”

Development of Stacked Long Short-Term Memory Neural Networks with Numerical Solutions for Wind Velocity Predictions by Chih-Chiang Wei

“…Our deeper neural networks comprise multilayer perceptron (MLP), deep recurrent neural networks (DRNNs), and stacked long short-term memory (LSTM). These three model-structure types differ by their memory capacity: MLPs are model networks with no memory capacity, whereas DRNNs and stacked LSTM are model networks with memory capacity. …”

Short Paper - A note on the Frank–Wolfe algorithm for a class of nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problems by de Oliveira, Welington

“…However, when the objective function is nonsmooth, the method may fail to compute a stationary point. In this work, we show that the Frank–Wolfe algorithm can be employed to compute Clarke-stationary points for nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problems consisting of minimizing upper-$C^{1,\alpha }$ functions over convex and compact sets. …”
