Estimating the stability of N clocks with correlations.

Published: October 2012

Estimation of an atomic clock's frequency stability, separate from its reference, is often done using a three-cornered hat procedure. A major requirement for the success of this method is that clocks be uncorrelated. If this requirement is not satisfied, the three-cornered hat procedure can lead to misleading or even negative variance estimates. Others have considered this problem and developed an analysis that allows for the possibility of cross correlation between clocks. We have extended and applied these ideas to obtain mathematically consistent frequency stability estimates on atomic clock data from the U.S. Naval Observatory. In addition, we derived an expression for the clock weights that produce a minimum variance combination of clocks in the presence of correlations.

To enhance high-frequency perceptual information and texture details in remote sensing images and address the challenges of super-resolution reconstruction algorithms during training, particularly the issue of missing details, this paper proposes an improved remote sensing image super-resolution reconstruction model. The generator network of the model employs multi-scale convolutional kernels to extract image features and utilizes a multi-head self-attention mechanism to dynamically fuse these features, significantly improving the ability to capture both fine details and global information in remote sensing images. Additionally, the model introduces a multi-stage Hybrid Transformer structure, which processes features at different resolutions progressively, from low resolution to high resolution, substantially enhancing reconstruction quality and detail recovery.

Frequency regulation in isolated microgrids is challenging due to system uncertainties and varying load demands. This study presents an optimal µ-synthesis robust control strategy that regulates microgrid frequency while enhancing system performance and stability-a proposed fixed-structure approach for selecting performance and robustness weights, informed by subsystem frequency analysis. The controller is optimized using multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) and multi-objective genetic algorithm (MOGA) under inequality constraints, employing a Pareto front to identify optimal solutions.

While machine learning (ML)-based solutions-often referred to as artificial intelligence (AI) solutions-have demonstrated comparable or superior performance to human experts across various healthcare applications, their vulnerability to perturbations and stability to variations due to new environments-essentially, their robustness-remains ambiguous and often overlooked. In this review, we aimed to identify the types of robustness addressed in the literature for ML models in healthcare. A total of 274 eligible records were retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, and additional sources.

Emergence of Neuroendocrine Tumors in Patients Treated with Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitors for Metastatic Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Cancer Heterogeneity Plasticity and Resistance to Therapies (CANTHER) Research Group, CHU Lille, Institut Pasteur de Lille, and University of Lille, Lille, France; Department of Urology, Hospital Claude Huriez, CHU Lille, Lille, France. Electronic address:

Background And Objective: It has been shown that androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPIs) treatment for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) improves overall survival rates, but ARPIs appear to be associated with a higher frequency of treatment-related neuroendocrine prostate cancer (t-NEPC). Our aim was to quantify the proportion of prostate adenocarcinoma cases that transition to t-NEPC following ARPI therapy.

Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of the literature on t-NEPC using databases including MEDLINE and Scopus.

Dual inhibition of the angiopoietin (Ang)/Tie and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signalling pathways in patients with retinal diseases, such as neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic macular oedema (DME), may induce greater vascular stability and contribute to increased treatment efficacy and durability compared with treatments that only target the VEGF pathway. Faricimab, a bispecific intravitreal agent that inhibits both VEGF and Ang-2, is the first injectable ophthalmic drug to achieve treatment intervals of up to 16 weeks in Phase 3 studies for nAMD and DME while exhibiting improvements in visual acuity and retinal thickness. Data from real-world studies have supported the safety, visual and anatomic benefits and durability of faricimab, even in patients who were previously treated with other intravitreal agents.
