Among the scientific challenges posed by complex diseases with a strong genetic component, two stand out. One is unveiling the role of rare and common genetic variants; the other is the design of classification models to improve clinical diagnosis and predictive models for prognosis and personalized therapies. In this paper, we present a data fusion framework merging gene, domain, pathway and protein-protein interaction data related to a next generation sequencing epilepsy gene panel. Our method allows integrating association information from multiple genomic sources and aims at highlighting the set of common and rare variants that are capable to trigger the occurrence of a complex disease. When compared to other approaches, our method shows better performances in classifying patients affected by epilepsy.

Background: Total ankle replacement (TAR) has evolved in the last decade from a procedure rife with complication and failure to a promising alternative to arthrodesis. The ability to maintain ankle joint range of motion is showing great promise in patient-reported outcomes, postsurgical pain, as well as long-term sequalae of joint fusion. Although TAR can be performed via either an anterior or lateral approach both with their own sets of benefits and potential complications, the consensus seems to be that one is no better than the other when performed by high-volume surgeons.

According to the physical characteristics of cotton and the work characteristics of cotton pickers in the field, during the picking process, there is a risk of cotton combustion. The cotton picker working environment is complex, cotton ignition can be hidden, and fire is difficult to detect. Therefore, in this study, we designed an improved algorithm for multi-sensor data fusion; built a cotton picker fire detection system by using infrared temperature sensors, CO sensors, and the upper computer; and proposed a BP neural network model based on improved mutation operator hybrid gray wolf optimizer and particle swarm optimization (MGWO-PSO) algorithm based on the BP neural network model.

This study investigates mental fatigue in sports activities by leveraging deep learning techniques, deviating from the conventional use of heart rate variability (HRV) feature analysis found in previous research. The study utilizes a hybrid deep neural network model, which integrates Residual Networks (ResNet) and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) for feature extraction, and a transformer for feature fusion. The model achieves an impressive accuracy of 95.

Salt marsh vegetation in the Yellow River Delta, including (), (), and (), is essential for the stability of wetland ecosystems. In recent years, salt marsh vegetation has experienced severe degradation, which is primarily due to invasive species and human activities. Therefore, the accurate monitoring of the spatial distribution of these vegetation types is critical for the ecological protection and restoration of the Yellow River Delta.

Exploring the relationships between plant phenotypes and genetic information requires advanced phenotypic analysis techniques for precise characterization. However, the diversity and variability of plant morphology challenge existing methods, which often fail to generalize across species and require extensive annotated data, especially for 3D datasets. This paper proposes a zero-shot 3D leaf instance segmentation method using RGB sensors.
