Echo chamber formation sharpened by priority users.

On social media platforms, priority users (e.g., verified profiles on X) are users whose posts are promoted by recommendation algorithms.

Food composition databases in the era of Big Data: Vegetable oils as a case study.

Understanding the population's dietary patterns and their impacts on health requires many different sources of information. The development of reliable food composition databases is a key step in this pursuit. With them, nutrition and health care professionals can provide better public health advice and guide society toward achieving a better and healthier life.

A framework for analyzing the relationship between gene expression and morphological, topological, and dynamical patterns in neuronal networks.

Background: A key point in developmental biology is to understand how gene expression influences the morphological and dynamical patterns that are observed in living beings.

New Method: In this work we propose a methodology capable of addressing this problem that is based on estimating the mutual information and Pearson correlation between the intensity of gene expression and measurements of several morphological properties of the cells. A similar approach is applied in order to identify effects of gene expression over the system dynamics.
