Advances in single-cell technologies have enabled high-resolution dissection of tissue composition. Several tools for dimensionality reduction are available to analyze the large number of parameters generated in single-cell studies. Recently, a nonlinear dimensionality-reduction technique, uniform manifold approximation and projection (UMAP), was developed for the analysis of any type of high-dimensional data. Here we apply it to biological data, using three well-characterized mass cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing datasets. Comparing the performance of UMAP with five other tools, we find that UMAP provides the fastest run times, highest reproducibility and the most meaningful organization of cell clusters. The work highlights the use of UMAP for improved visualization and interpretation of single-cell data.

nipalsMCIA: Flexible Multi-Block Dimensionality Reduction in R via Nonlinear Iterative Partial Least Squares.

Summary: With the increased reliance on multi-omics data for bulk and single cell analyses, the availability of robust approaches to perform unsupervised learning for clustering, visualization, and feature selection is imperative. We introduce nipalsMCIA, an implementation of multiple co-inertia analysis (MCIA) for joint dimensionality reduction that solves the objective function using an extension to Non-linear Iterative Partial Least Squares (NIPALS). We applied nipalsMCIA to both bulk and single cell datasets and observed significant speed-up over other implementations for data with a large sample size and/or feature dimension.

The growing number of connected devices in smart home environments has amplified security risks, particularly from Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks. These attacks allow cybercriminals to intercept and manipulate communication streams between devices, often remaining undetected. Traditional rule-based methods struggle to cope with the complexity of these attacks, creating a need for more advanced, adaptive intrusion detection systems.

The effects of heat-assisted vat photopolymerization (HVPP) on the physical and mechanical properties of 3D-printed dental resins, including the morphometric stability of 3D-printed crowns, were investigated. A resin tank was designed to maintain the resin at 30, 40, and 50 ℃ during the 3D printing process. Test specimens were fabricated using a commercial dental resin, with untreated resin serving as the control group.

This paper presents a surrogate-assisted global and distributed local collaborative optimization (SGDLCO) algorithm for expensive constrained optimization problems where two surrogate optimization phases are executed collaboratively at each generation. As the complexity of optimization problems and the cost of solutions increase in practical applications, how to efficiently solve expensive constrained optimization problems with limited computational resources has become an important area of research. Traditional optimization algorithms often struggle to balance the efficiency of global and local searches, especially when dealing with high-dimensional and complex constraint conditions.

Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is an important driver of transcriptome diversity that generates messenger RNA isoforms with distinct 3' ends. The rapid development of single-cell and spatial transcriptomic technologies opened up new opportunities for exploring APA data to discover hidden cell subpopulations invisible in conventional gene expression analysis. However, conventional gene-level analysis tools are not fully applicable to APA data, and commonly used unsupervised dimensionality reduction methods often disregard experimentally derived annotations such as cell type identities.
