Decision-Making Within Forensic Psychiatric Investigations: The Use of Various Information Sources by Different Expert Groups to Reach Conclusions on Legal Insanity

BackgroundWhich type of information experts use to make decisions regarding legal insanity within forensic psychiatric investigations (FPI) is relatively unknown, both in general and when considering variations due to case context. It is im...

Variation in TMEM106B in chronic traumatic encephalopathy

Abstract The genetic basis of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is poorly understood. Variation in transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) has been associated with enhanced neuroinflammation during aging and with TDP-43-related neurodege...

Linkage disequilibrium in wild mice.

Crosses between laboratory strains of mice provide a powerful way of detecting quantitative trait loci for complex traits related to human disease. Hundreds of these loci have been detected, but only a small number of the underlying causati...

The Genetic Architecture of Murine Glutathione Transferases.

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes play a protective role against oxidative stress and may influence disease risk and drug pharmacokinetics. In this study, massive multiscalar trait profiling across a large population of mice derived fro...

Family and community resilience: a Photovoice study

Abstract Background Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), in combination with adverse community environments, can result in traumatic stress reactions, increasing a person’s risk for chronic physical and mental health conditions. Family res...

Advanced DFE, MLD, and RDE Equalization Techniques for Enhanced 5G mm-Wave A-RoF Performance at 60 GHz

This article presents the decision feedback equalizer (DFE), the maximum likelihood detection (MLD), and the radius-directed equalization (RDE) algorithms designed in MATLAB-R2018a to equalize the received signal in a dispersive optical lin...

Effect of Heated Wall Corrugation on Thermal Performance in an L-Shaped Vented Cavity Crossed by Metal Foam Saturated with Copper–Water Nanofluid

Practical applications such as solar power energy systems, electronic cooling, and the convective drying of vented enclosures require continuous developments to enhance fluid and heat flow. Numerous studies have investigated the enhancement...

Microstructure-based variational deep material networks for robust uncertainty quantification in materials digital twins

Abstract Aleatoric uncertainties – irremovable variability in microstructure morphology, constituent behavior, and processing conditions – pose a major challenge to developing uncertainty-robust digital twins. We introduce the Variational D...

Solving Composite Fixed Point Problems with Block Updates

Various strategies are available to construct iteratively a common fixed point of nonexpansive operators by activating only a block of operators at each iteration. In the more challenging class of composite fixed point problems involving op...

Variations in lower‑limb body composition asymmetry and leg length discrepancy by sex and training level, and their association with performance in recreational endurance runners: a cross‑sectional study.

Highly efficient photonic PCR system based on plasmonic heating of gold nanofilms

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a standard molecular method that has the potential to solve the need for accurate, viable, and immediate infectious pathogen detection at point-of-care (POC) centers in different fields such as pathoge...

QG-WRN: A Quantum-Enhanced Graph Convolutional Wide Residual Network for ASD Diagnosis via Neuroimaging Sensing Technology

The pathological mechanism of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) exhibits dual heterogeneity: abnormal local energy metabolism and brain-wide high-order topological failure. To synergistically characterize these complex signals captured by adva...

A Multi-Stage NLP Framework for Knowledge Discovery from Crop Disease Research Literature

Extracting and organizing knowledge from the agricultural crop disease research literature are challenging tasks because of the heterogeneous terminologies, complicated symptom descriptions, and unstructured nature of scientific documents. ...

Climate‐Associated Genetic Variation in Native and Introduced Populations of Eustenopus villosus, a Biological Control Agent for Yellow Starthistle.

Natural Language Processing of Clinical Notes on Chronic Diseases: Systematic Review

BACKGROUND: Novel approaches that complement and go beyond evidence-based medicine are required in the domain of chronic diseases, given the growing incidence of such conditions on the worldwide population. A promising avenue is the seconda...

Optimising Contextual Embeddings for Meaning Conflation Deficiency Resolution in Low-Resourced Languages

Meaning conflation deficiency (MCD) presents a continual obstacle in natural language processing (NLP), especially for low-resourced and morphologically complex languages, where polysemy and contextual ambiguity diminish model precision in ...

Digital footprints as a tool to evaluate the spatiotemporal environmental impacts of grocery shopping across Great Britain

Introduction & Background Climate change represents one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Within this context, the food sector is a critical domain for intervention, accounting for approximately one-third of global greenhouse gas...

Parameters of Cross-linguistic Variation in Expectation-based Minimalist Grammars (e-MGs)

The fact that Parsing and Generation share the same grammatical knowledge is often considered the null hypothesis (Momma and Phillips 2018) but very few algorithms can take advantage of a cognitively plausible incremental procedure that ope...

A rule-based stemmer for Arabic Gulf dialect

Arabic dialects arewidely used from many years ago instead of Modern Standard Arabic language in many fields. The presence of dialects in any language is a big challenge. Dialects add a new set of variational dimensions in some fields like ...
