We propose a novel similarity measure, called the correntropy coefficient, sensitive to higher order moments of the signal statistics based on a similarity function called the cross-correntopy. Cross-correntropy nonlinearly maps the original time series into a high-dimensional reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). The correntropy coefficient computes the cosine of the angle between the transformed vectors. Preliminary experiments with simulated data and multichannel electroencephalogram (EEG) signals during behaviour studies elucidate the performance of the new measure versus the well-established correlation coefficient.

Newborn signal functions in Bangladesh: Identification through expert consultation and assessment of readiness among public health facilities.
J Glob Health
September 2022
Maternal and Child Health Division, International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Background: This study aimed to identify a set of newborn signal functions (NSFs) that can categorize health facilities and assist policymakers and health managers in appropriately planning and adequately monitoring the progress and performance of health facilities delivering newborn health care in Bangladesh and similar low-income settings.
Methods: A modified Delphi method was used to identify a set of NSFs and a cross-sectional health facility assessment among the randomly selected facilities was conducted to test them in public health facilities in Bangladesh. In the modified Delphi approach, three main steps of listing, prioritizing, and testing were followed to identify the set of NSFs.
Effects of Baseline Blood Zinc Levels on the Humoral Immune Response After COVID-19 mRNA Vaccination: A Prospective Study in a Japanese Population.
Vaccines (Basel)
November 2024
Department of Social and Environmental Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Saga University, 5-1-1 Nabeshima, Saga 849-8501, Japan.
Background/objectives: Although the protective effects of zinc against COVID-19 are documented, its impact on COVID-19 vaccine immunogenicity remains unknown.
Methods: We conducted a prospective study involving a cohort of 79 Japanese individuals (aged 21-56 years; comprising three subcohorts) and measured their serum zinc levels pre-vaccination and anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM/IgG levels pre- and post-vaccination over 4 months.
Results: Serum zinc concentrations ranged between 74-140 and 64-113 μg/dL in male and female individuals, respectively, with one male and 11 female participants exhibiting subclinical zinc deficiency (60-80 μg/dL).
Quantifying Inequalities in Childhood Immunization Using Summary Measures of Health Inequality: An Application of WHO Stata and R 'Healthequal' Packages.

Monitoring immunization inequalities is crucial for achieving equity in vaccine coverage. Summary measures of health inequality provide a single numerical expression of immunization inequality. However, the impact of different summary measures on conclusions about immunization inequalities has not been thoroughly studied.

Vaccines (Basel)
November 2024
Laboratory of Biology of Cellular Interactions, Department of Morphology, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte 31270-901, MG, Brazil.
Background/objectives: Considering the large number of candidates in vaccine-testing studies against different pathogens and the amount of time spent in the preclinical and clinical trials, there is a pressing need to develop an improved in vivo system to quickly screen vaccine candidates. The model of a polyester-polyurethane sponge implant provides a rapid analysis of the specific stimulus-response, allowing the study of a compartmentalized microenvironment. The sponge implant's defined measurements were standardized as a compartment to assess the immune response triggered by the vaccinal antigen.

Sensors (Basel)
December 2024
Department of System Semiconductor, Dongguk University, Seoul 04620, Republic of Korea.
In this study, we describe a low-noise complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor (CIS) with a 10/11-bit hybrid single-slope analog-to-digital converter (SS-ADC). The proposed hybrid SS-ADC provides a resolution of 11 bits in low-light and 10 bits in high-light. To this end, in the low-light section, the digital-correlated double sampling method using a double data rate structure was used to obtain a noise performance similar to that of the 11-bit SS-ADC under low-light conditions, while maintaining linear in-out characteristics.
