In this community review report, we discuss applications and techniques for machine learning (ML) in science-the concept of integrating powerful ML methods into the real-time experimental data processing loop to accelerate scientific discovery. The material for the report builds on two workshops held by the Fast ML for Science community and covers three main areas: applications for fast ML across a number of scientific domains; techniques for training and implementing performant and resource-efficient ML algorithms; and computing architectures, platforms, and technologies for deploying these algorithms. We also present overlapping challenges across the multiple scientific domains where common solutions can be found.

- V2X communications enable vehicles to exchange real-time data with each other and infrastructure, improving road safety and traffic efficiency through cooperative, connected, and automated mobility services.
- Successful implementation of cooperative intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) faces challenges due to the complexity of evaluating multi-vendor architectures and the high cost of real-world trials.
- This paper presents an experimental vehicular on-board unit (OBU) that integrates various V2X protocols from different vendors, demonstrating effective interoperability in a cooperative collision avoidance service and measuring communication latencies in real-world conditions.
Background: Denys-Drash syndrome (DDS) is a rare disease caused by mutations in exons 8 and 9 of the gene. It is characterized by the association of early onset steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS), Wilms' tumour and, in some patients, intersex disorders, with increasing risk of gonadoblastoma. There are few published data concerning the long-term outcome of patients with DDS.

The main objective of the study was to analyze the prognostic value of C4d deposits and association with response to treatment in patients with IgA nephropathy and normal GFR.
Design, Setting, Participants, & Measurements: This retrospective cohort study included 190 patients with idiopathic IgA nephropathy diagnosed by kidney biopsy between 1988 and 2005.
