This paper presents a new image focusing algorithm for sparsity-driven radar imaging of rotating targets. In the general formulation of off-grid scatterers, the sparse reconstruction algorithms may result in blurred and low-contrast images due to dictionary mismatch. Motivated by the natural clustering of atoms in the sparsity-based reconstructed images, the proposed algorithm first partitions the atoms into separate clusters, and then the true off-grid scatterers associated with each cluster are estimated. Being a post-processing technique, the proposed algorithm is computationally simple, while at the same time being capable of producing a sharp and correct-contrast image, and attaining a scatterer parameter estimation performance close to the Cramér⁻Rao lower bound. Numerical simulations are presented to corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Pharmacogenomics stands as a pivotal driver toward personalized medicine, aiming to optimize drug efficacy while minimizing adverse effects by uncovering the impact of genetic variations on inter-individual outcome variability. Despite its promise, the intricate landscape of drug metabolism introduces complexity, where the correlation between drug response and genes can be shaped by numerous nongenetic factors, often exhibiting heterogeneity across diverse subpopulations. This challenge is particularly pronounced in datasets such as the International Warfarin Pharmacogenetic Consortium (IWPC), which encompasses diverse patient information from multiple nations.

As the clinical applicability of peripheral nerve stimulation (PNS) expands, the need for PNS-specific safety criteria becomes pressing. This study addresses this need, utilizing a novel machine learning and computational bio-electromagnetics modeling platform to establish a safety criterion that captures the effects of fields and currents induced on axons. Our approach is comprised of three steps: experimentation, model creation, and predictive simulation.

DNA mixtures containing semen and vaginal fluid are common biological samples in forensic analysis. However, the analysis of semen-vaginal fluid mixtures remains challenging. In this study, to solve these problems, it is proposed to combine semen-specific CpG sites and closely related microhaplotype sites to form a new composite genetic marker (semen-specific methylation-microhaplotype).
