In this paper, efficient gradient updating strategies are developed for the federated learning when distributed clients are connected to the server via a wireless backhaul link. Specifically, a common convolutional neural network (CNN) module is shared for all the distributed clients and it is trained through the federated learning over wireless backhaul connected to the main server. However, during the training phase, local gradients need to be transferred from multiple clients to the server over wireless backhaul link and can be distorted due to wireless channel fading.

In this paper, we propose a cooperative linear discriminant analysis (LDA)-based motion classification algorithm for distributed micro-Doppler (MD) radars which are connected to a data fusion center through the limited backhaul. Due to the limited backhaul, each radar cannot report the high-dimensional data of a multi-aspect angle MD signature to the fusion center. Instead, at each radar, the dimensionality of the MD signature is reduced by using the LDA algorithm and the dimensionally-reduced MD signature can be collected at the data fusion center.

Purpose: The results from the published studies on the association between LEP (leptin) genetic polymorphism and cancer risk are conflicting. The common G2548A genetic polymorphism has been reported to be functional and may contribute to genetic susceptibility to cancers. However, the association between LEP G2548A genetic polymorphism and cancer risk remains inconclusive.

Purpose: The electron beam melting (EBM) Ti-6Al-4V material technology has been developed over a short time period. It was introduced through a research to develop Ti-6Al-4V implants for patients, but EBM printed locking compression plates have not been used for clinical implants. The main purpose of this study is to find whether the EBM Ti-6Al-4V plate suit for clinical implants.

Previous studies have shown conflicting results between the association of leptin receptor () genetic polymorphisms and cancer risk. The frequent Lys656Asn or Ser343Ser genetic polymorphism has been demonstrated to be functional and may promote genetic susceptibility to cancers. However, the association between the Lys656Asn or Ser343Ser genetic polymorphism and cancer risk remains to be determined.

Purpose: This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the association between LEPR K109R (rs1137100) genetic polymorphism and cancer risk.

Methods: To better understand the role of LEPR K109R(rs1137100) genetic polymorphism in global cancer, we conducted this comprehensive meta-analysis encompassing 5819 cases and 8068 controls.

Results: Overall, the LEPR K109R(rs1137100) genetic polymorphism did not significantly affect the risk of cancer.

There has been a strong interest in searching for natural therapies for osteoporosis. Epimedium koreanum Nakai is an herb that is commonly used in East Asia to treat osteoporosis, and most studies of its activity have focused on its major ingredient, icariin. In this study, maohuoside A (MHA), a single compound isolated from the E.
