We apply a mathematical algorithm which processes discrete time series data to generate a complete list of Petri net structures containing the minimal number of nodes required to reproduce the data set. The completeness of the list as guaranteed by a mathematical proof allows to define a minimal set of experiments required to discriminate between alternative network structures. This in principle allows to prove all possible minimal network structures by disproving all alternative candidate structures. The dynamic behaviour of the networks in terms of a switching rule for the transitions of the Petri net is part of the result. In addition to network reconstruction, the algorithm can be used to determine how many yet undetected components at least must be involved in a certain process. The algorithm also reveals all alternative structural modifications of a network that are required to generate a predefined behaviour.

For tolerant containment control of multi-agent systems, considering the challenges in modeling and the impact of actuator faults on system security and reliability, a finite index dynamic event-triggered policy iteration algorithm is proposed. This algorithm only requires input and output data, without relying on system models, and simultaneously considers the faults and energy consumption issues to improve the system reliability and save energy consumption. The conditions are provided to demonstrate the convergence and optimality of the algorithm, including a convergence speed, that is, the number of iterations required for convergence is finite.

Outbreak of carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in a neurorehabilitation unit: genomic epidemiology reveals complex transmission pattern in a tertiary care hospital.

J Glob Antimicrob Resist

January 2025

Microbiology Unit, Clinical Pathology Department, Piacenza General Hospital, Piacenza, Italy; Medicine and Surgery Department, University of Parma, Parma, Italy.

Objectives: Infections by Carbapenem-Resistant Enterobacterales in hospitals represent a severe threat but little is known on outbreaks in rehabilitation wards caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae producing Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase (KPC-Kp). We report an outbreak by KPC-Kp, in a Neurorehabilitation Unit in Italy, analysed through Whole-Genome Sequencing (WGS) for transmission routes reconstruction to improve management of KPC-Kp infections in rehabilitation units.

Methods: We investigated cases and KPC-Kp isolates collected from February to October 2022 from hospital surveillance.

In a visual inverted pendulum balancing task avoiding impending falls gets harder as we age.

Younger adults (YA) and older adults (OA) used a joystick to stabilize an unstable visual inverted pendulum (VIP) with a fundamental frequency (.27 Hz) of half that of bipedal human sway. Their task was to keep the VIP upright and to avoid ± 60° "fall" boundaries.

Deep learning classification models based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are increasingly used in population genetic inference for detecting signatures of natural selection. Prevailing detection methods treat the design of the classifier as a discrete phase, assuming that high classification accuracy is the sole prerequisite for precise detection. This frequently steers method development toward classification-driven optimizations that can inadvertently impede detection.

Research Attitudes Questionnaire scores and retention in a recruitment registry.

J Alzheimers Dis

January 2025

Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, USA.

Background: Recruitment registries are maximally effective when registrants are retained to the point of referral. The Research Attitudes Questionnaire (RAQ) has previously been shown to predict research participation behaviors, including Alzheimer's disease clinical trial completion.

Objective: To test the hypothesis that RAQ score is associated with retention behaviors in a local recruitment registry.
