Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a clinical syndrome with origins rooted in a salt-avid state largely mediated by effector hormones of the circulating renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Other participating neurohormones include catecholamines, endothelin-1, and arginine vasopressin. CHF is accom...

The future of sustainable energy supply demands innovative breakthroughs in the design of cheap and durable catalysts for efficient electrochemical water splitting. Distinct from the conventional doping, defecting, and nanostructuring strategy, we develop a simple and feasible electric-strain way to...

Background: Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have been shown to be among the most prominent cells in tumor microenvironment and play a significant role in accelerating tumor metastasis by interacting with other type of cells. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), the predominant tumor-infiltratin...

In this paper, we propose two cooperative ensemble learning algorithms, i.e., NegBagg and NegBoost, for designing neural network (NN) ensembles. The proposed algorithms incrementally train different individual NNs in an ensemble using the negative correlation learning algorithm. Bagging and boosting...

Cardiac fibrosis plays a key role in the progression of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Previous studies demonstrated the cardioprotective effects of natriuretic peptides. However, the effects of natriuretic peptide receptor C (NPRC) on cardiac fibrosis in DCM remains unknown. Here, we observed that ...

The optical attenuation coefficient (OAC) reflects the optical properties of various tissues or tissues of the same type under different physiological conditions. Quantitative measurement of OAC from optical coherence tomography (OCT) signals can provide additional information and can increase the p...

Bipolar disorder (BD) is associated with a high risk of suicidality, and it is challenging to predict suicide attempts in clinical practice to date. Although structural and functional connectivity alterations from neuroimaging studies have been previously reported in BD with suicide attempts, little...

The generalization ability of artificial neural networks (ANNs) is greatly dependent on their architectures. Constructive algorithms provide an attractive automatic way of determining a near-optimal ANN architecture for a given problem. Several such algorithms have been proposed in the literature an...

Using a set of binary classifiers to solve multiclass classification problems has been a popular approach over the years. The decision boundaries learnt by binary classifiers (also called base classifiers) are much simpler than those learnt by multiclass classifiers. This paper proposes a new classi...

The COVID-19 pandemic (and its aftermath) highlights a critical need to communicate health information effectively to the global public. Given that subtle differences in information framing can have meaningful effects on behavior, behavioral science research highlights a pressing question: Is it mor...

The number of objectives in many-objective optimization problems (MaOPs) is typically high and evolutionary algorithms face severe difficulties in solving such problems. In this paper, we propose a new scalable evolutionary algorithm, called evolutionary path control strategy (EPCS), for solving MaO...

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases. It adversely affects cognitive function. Neuroinflammation has been widely recognized as an important factor involved in the pathophysiology of epilepsy. Cyclooxygenase (COX) is a type of oxidoreductase enzyme that acts in the metabolic pathw...
