To date semi-empirical or surrogate modeling has demonstrated great success in the prediction of the biologically relevant properties of polymeric materials. For the first time, a correlation between the chemical structures of poly(β-amino esters) and their efficiency in transfecting DNA was established using the novel technique of logical analysis of data (LAD). Linear combination and explicit representation models were introduced and compared in the framework of the present study. The most successful regression model yielded satisfactory agreement between the predicted and experimentally measured values of transfection efficiency (Pearson correlation coefficient, 0.77; mean absolute error, 3.83). It was shown that detailed analysis of the rules provided by the LAD algorithm offered practical utility to a polymer chemist in the design of new biomaterials.

This study seeks to improve urban supply chain management and collaborative governance in the context of public health emergencies (PHEs) by integrating fuzzy theory with the Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) algorithm. By combining these two approaches, an early warning mechanism for supply chain risks during PHEs is developed. The study employs Matlab software to simulate supply chain risks, incorporating fuzzy inference techniques with the adaptive data modeling capabilities of neural networks for both training and testing.

The present paper treats the issue of methodological assumptions in mainstream neuropsychology and, as counter-concepts, in Vygotsky's approach and Holzkamp's critical psychology. The analysis identifies four main assumptions concerning the methodology of mainstream neuropsychology, which are contrasted with the positions of other approaches. The methodologies of the mainstream neuropsychology vs.

In the current scenario, decision-making models are essential for analyzing real-world problems. To address the dynamic nature of these problems, fuzzy decision-making models have been proposed by various researchers. However, an advanced technique is needed to assess uncertainty in real-time complex situations.
