A recurrent sigma pi sigma neural network.

In this paper, a novel recurrent sigma‒sigma neural network (RSPSNN) that contains the same advantages as the higher-order and recurrent neural networks is proposed. The batch gradient algorithm is used to train the RSPSNN to search for the optimal weights based on the minimal mean squared error (MSE). To substantiate the unique equilibrium state of the RSPSNN, the characteristic of stability convergence is proven, which is one of the most significant indices for reflecting the effectiveness and overcoming the instability problem in the training of this network.

Elongator subunit Elp3 regulates reproduction in Tribolium castaneum by interacting with FOXO.

As the catalytic subunit of the Elongator complex, Elongator protein 3 (Elp3) plays a crucial role in multiple physiological processes, including growth, development and immune responses. Previous studies on Elp3 have focused on Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, Homo sapiens (human) or Mus musculus (mouse), whereas there are few reports on Elp3 in agricultural pests. Here, the role of TcElp3 in reproduction in the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, was investigated, and the underlying mechanisms were explored.

Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Moyamoya Disease Using Serum Metabolic Fingerprints and Machine Learning.

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a progressive cerebrovascular disorder that increases the risk of intracranial ischemia and hemorrhage. Timely diagnosis and intervention can significantly reduce the risk of new-onset stroke in patients with MMD. However, the current diagnostic methods are invasive and expensive, and non-invasive diagnosis using biomarkers of MMD is rarely reported.

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus was found in Northern Jiangxi Province, China.

Introduction: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease discovered in China in 2009. SFTS monitoring has been carried out since 2010 in mainland China. In recent years, human infection with SFTS virus (SFTSV) has frequently been detected in Jiujiang of Jiangxi Province, Central China.
