Improving the quality of medical images at pre- and post-surgery operations are necessary for beginning and speeding up the recovery process. Partial differential equations-based models have become a powerful and well-known tool in different areas of image processing such as denoising, multiscale image analysis, edge detection and other fields of image processing and computer vision. In this paper, an algorithm for medical image denoising using anisotropic diffusion filter with a convenient stopping criterion is presented. In this regard, the current paper introduces two strategies: utilizing the efficient explicit method due to its advantages with presenting impressive software technique to effectively solve the anisotropic diffusion filter which is mathematically unstable, proposing an automatic stopping criterion, that takes into consideration just input image, as opposed to other stopping criteria, besides the quality of denoised image, easiness and time. Various medical images are examined to confirm the claim.

Background: The -metric value is generally used as the importance score of a feature (or a set of features) in a classification context. This study aimed to go further by creating a new methodology for multivariate feature selection for classification, whereby the -metric is associated with a specific search direction (and therefore a specific stopping criterion). As three search directions are used, we effectively created three distinct methods.

Learning never stops. As we navigate life, we continuously acquire and update knowledge to optimize memory-guided action, with a gradual shift from the former to the latter as we master our environment. How are these learning dynamics expressed in the brain and in behavioral patterns? Here, we devised a spatiotemporal image learning task ("Memory Arena") in which participants learn a set of 50 items to criterion across repeated exposure blocks.

Article Synopsis
- * The researchers explore enhancing efficiency by using measurement informatics, specifically Gaussian process regression (GPR) to optimize the collection of spin polarization data.
- * Their findings indicate that the GPR score can effectively be used as a stopping criterion, allowing for significant time savings of 5-10 times compared to traditional methods in conducting spin-resolved ARPES experiments.
Influence of device configuration and noise on a machine learning predictor for the selection of nanoparticle small-angle X-ray scattering models.

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is a widely used method for nanoparticle characterization. A common approach to analysing nanoparticles in solution by SAXS involves fitting the curve using a parametric model that relates real-space parameters, such as nanoparticle size and electron density, to intensity values in reciprocal space. Selecting the optimal model is a crucial step in terms of analysis quality and can be time-consuming and complex.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness and side effects of two chemotherapy regimens, paclitaxel and carboplatin (PC), against bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin (BEP) in treating newly diagnosed or recurrent ovarian sex cord-stromal tumors (SCST).
- In a phase II trial involving 63 patients, the analysis showed that PC did not meet the criteria for being as effective as BEP, with a median progression-free survival of 27.7 months for PC compared to 19.7 months for BEP.
- Although PC had fewer serious adverse events (77% vs. 90%), the study concluded that it failed to demonstrate non-inferiority to BE
