A major challenge facing biodiversity informatics is integrating data stored in widely distributed databases. Initial efforts have relied on taxonomic names as the shared identifier linking records in different databases. However, taxonomic names have limitations as identifiers, being neither stable nor globally unique, and the pace of molecular taxonomic and phylogenetic research means that a lot of information in public sequence databases is not linked to formal taxonomic names. This review explores the use of other identifiers, such as specimen codes and GenBank accession numbers, to link otherwise disconnected facts in different databases. The structure of these links can also be exploited using the PageRank algorithm to rank the results of searches on biodiversity databases. The key to rich integration is a commitment to deploy and reuse globally unique, shared identifiers [such as Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) and Life Science Identifiers (LSIDs)], and the implementation of services that link those identifiers.

Understanding how the brain distinguishes emotional from neutral scenes is crucial for advancing brain-computer interfaces, enabling real-time emotion detection for faster, more effective responses, and improving treatments for emotional disorders like depression and anxiety. However, inconsistent research findings have arisen from differences in study settings, such as variations in the time windows, brain regions, and emotion categories examined across studies. This review sought to compile the existing literature on the timing at which the adult brain differentiates basic affective from neutral scenes in less than one second, as previous studies have consistently shown that the brain can begin recognizing emotions within just a few milliseconds.

Eye disease detection has achieved significant advancements thanks to artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. However, the construction of high-accuracy predictive models still faces challenges, and one reason is the deficiency of the optimizer. This paper presents an efficient optimizer named Success History Adaptive Competitive Swarm Optimizer with Linear Population Reduction (L-SHACSO).

In this paper, a novel recurrent sigma‒sigma neural network (RSPSNN) that contains the same advantages as the higher-order and recurrent neural networks is proposed. The batch gradient algorithm is used to train the RSPSNN to search for the optimal weights based on the minimal mean squared error (MSE). To substantiate the unique equilibrium state of the RSPSNN, the characteristic of stability convergence is proven, which is one of the most significant indices for reflecting the effectiveness and overcoming the instability problem in the training of this network.
