Quantum and complex-valued hybrid networks for multi-principal element alloys phase prediction.

This study introduces a hybrid network model for phase classification, integrating quantum networks and complex-valued neural networks. This architecture uses elemental composition as its only input, eliminating complex feature engineering. Parameterized quantum networks handle sparse elemental data and convert data from real to complex domains, increasing information dimensionality.

Roles of NOC3L and DDX17 in acquired immunodeficiency complicated with viral myocarditis and osteoporosis.

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is a systemic infectious disease caused by human immunodeficiency virus infection, which could attack the bones and heart. However, the relationship between Nuclear Complex Associated 3 Homolog (NOC3L) and DEAD box helicase 17 (DDX17) and acquired immunodeficiency complicated with viral myocarditis and osteoporosis is unclear. The acquired immune deficiency dataset GSE140713, GSE147162 and the osteoporosis dataset (GSE230665), and viral myocarditis dataset (GSE150392) configuration files were generated from gene expression omnibus.

Exploring the Mediating Role of Social Exchange Orientation in the Relationship Between Mentoring Experiences and Mentoring Intentions: A Cross-Sectional Study.

The study utilized a cross-sectional design to determine the relationship between positive and negative mentoring experiences and intentions to engage in future formal mentoring and the mediating role of aspects of social exchange theory particularly Negotiated Exchange Orientation and Perceived Organization Support. The study was conducted among 303 nurses and midwives working in acute care hospitals in Uganda. The results showed that, in the negative mentoring model, Perceived Organization Support fully mediated the relationship between lack of mentor expertise and willingness to participate in formal mentoring programs (B = -0.

Stage-specific expression and divergent functions of two insulinase-like proteases associated with host infectivity in Cryptosporidium.

Background: The determinants of differences in host infectivity among Cryptosporidium species and subtypes are poorly understood. Results from recent comparative genomic studies suggest that gains and losses of multicopy subtelomeric genes encoding insulinase-like proteases (INS-19 and INS-20 in Cryptosporidium parvum and their orthologs in closely related species) may potentially contribute to these differences.

Methodology/principal Findings: In this study, we investigated the expression and biological function of the INS-19 and INS-20 of C.

Deep imaging of LepR stromal cells in optically cleared murine bone hemisections.

Tissue clearing combined with high-resolution confocal imaging is a cutting-edge approach for dissecting the three-dimensional (3D) architecture of tissues and deciphering cellular spatial interactions under physiological and pathological conditions. Deciphering the spatial interaction of leptin receptor-expressing (LepR) stromal cells with other compartments in the bone marrow is crucial for a deeper understanding of the stem cell niche and the skeletal tissue. In this study, we introduce an optimized protocol for the 3D analysis of skeletal tissues, enabling the visualization of hematopoietic and stromal cells, especially LepR stromal cells, within optically cleared bone hemisections.
