Assessing the reliability of point mutation as data augmentation for deep learning with genomic data.

Background: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have the potential to revolutionize our understanding and treatment of genetic diseases. An inherent limitation of deep neural networks, however, is their high demand for data during training. To overcome this challenge, other fields, such as computer vision, use various data augmentation techniques to artificially increase the available training data for DNNs.

Interactive Effects of Blue Light and Water Turbulence on the Growth of the Green Macroalga (Chlorophyta).

Macroalgal growth and yield are key to sustainable aquaculture. Although light and water turbulence are two important factors that affect algal productivity, research on their interaction is limited. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the effects of different wavelengths of light and the presence or absence of water turbulence on the growth of the green macroalga .

Green Synthesis of Cation Exchange Membranes: A Review.

Cation exchange membranes (CEMs) play a significant role in the transition to a more sustainable/green society. They are important components for applications such as water electrolysis, artificial photosynthesis, electrodialysis and fuel cells. Their synthesis, however, is far from being sustainable, affecting safety, health and the environment.

Giant Duckweed () Root Growth as a Simple and Sensitive Indicator of Copper and Chromium Contamination.

Aquatic environment are often contaminated with heavy metals from various industrial sources. However, physicochemical techniques for pollutant detection are limited, thus prompting the need for additional bioassays. We investigated the use of greater duckweed () as a bioindicator of metal pollution.

Metal Toxicity across Different Thallus Sections of the Green Macroalga, .

We aimed to identify functional differences between different sections of the thallus of and develop tissue-endpoint combinations to assess the toxicity of six metals (i.e., Ag, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, and Ni).
