Published: June 2012

We study two measures of the complexity of heterogeneous extended systems, taking random Boolean networks as prototypical cases. A measure defined by Shalizi et al. for cellular automata, based on a criterion for optimal statistical prediction [Shalizi et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 118701 (2004)], does not distinguish between the spatial inhomogeneity of the ordered phase and the dynamical inhomogeneity of the disordered phase. A modification in which complexities of individual nodes are calculated yields vanishing complexity values for networks in the ordered and critical regimes and for highly disordered networks, peaking somewhere in the disordered regime. Individual nodes with high complexity are the ones that pass the most information from the past to the future, a quantity that depends in a nontrivial way on both the Boolean function of a given node and its location within the network.

Background: Critical analysis of studies with high level of evidence has relied on the significance set by the reported values. However, this strategy steers readers toward categorical interpretation of the data; therefore, a more comprehensive approach of data analysis is warranted. The continuous fragility index (CFI) allows for frailty interpretation of any given study's continuous outcome results.

Problem of Existence of Joint Distribution on Quantum Logic.

Entropy (Basel)

December 2024

Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Ilkovičova 3, 841 04 Bratislava, Slovakia.

This paper deals with the topics of modeling joint distributions on a generalized probability space. An algebraic structure known as quantum logic is taken as the basic model. There is a brief summary of some earlier published findings concerning a function -map, which is a mathematical tool suitable for constructing virtual joint probabilities of even non-compatible propositions.

Introduction: Medicine quality can be influenced by environmental factors. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with tropical climates, storage facilities of medicines in healthcare settings and homes may be suboptimal. However, knowledge of the effects of temperature and other climatic and environmental factors on the quality of medicines is limited.

Harnessing unlabeled data: Enhanced rare earth component content prediction based on BiLSTM-Deep autoencoder.

ISA Trans

Traditional data-driven models for predicting rare earth component content are primarily developed by relying on supervised learning methods, which suffer from limitations such as a lack of labeled data, lagging, and poor usage of a major amount of unlabeled data. This paper proposes a novel prediction approach based on the BiLSTM-Deep autoencoder enhanced traditional LSSVM algorithm, termed BiLSTM-DeepAE-LSSVM. This approach thoroughly exploits the implicit information contained in copious amounts of unlabeled data in the rare earth production process, thereby improving the traditional supervised prediction method and increasing the accuracy of component content predictions.

A manual approach combined with therapeutic exercise versus therapeutic exercise alone is a debated issue in the literature. The American College of Rheumatology guidelines "conditionally recommended against" manual therapy for the management of hip osteoarthritis. Manual therapy followed by exercise, instead, appears to lead to a faster return to sport than exercise alone for adductor groin pain.
