One of the most tedious steps in genetic data analyses is the reformatting data generated with one program for use with other applications. This conversion is necessary because comprehensive evaluation of the data may be based on different algorithms included in diverse software, each requiring a distinct input format. A platform-independent and freely available program or a web-based tool dedicated to such reformatting can save time and efforts in data processing. Here, we report widgetcon, a website and a program which has been developed to quickly and easily convert among various molecular data formats commonly used in phylogenetic analysis, population genetics, and other fields. The web-based service is available at https://www.widgetcon.net. The program and the website convert the major data formats in four basic steps in less than a minute. The resource will be a useful tool for the research community and can be updated to include more formats and features in the future.

: Lidocaine-prilocaine cream effectively reduces vaccination pain, improving vaccination adherence and advocating for its routine use in healthcare settings. : This review used PRISMA guidelines and the PICOT format to structure the analysis. The focus was on paediatric patients aged 0-12 months requiring intramuscular vaccinations, comparing the application of lidocaine-prilocaine cream to other interventions or no treatment.

With the decreasing and aging agricultural workforce, fruit harvesting robots equipped with higher degrees of freedom (DoF) manipulators are seen as a promising solution for performing harvesting operations in unstructured and complex orchard environments. In such a complex environment, guiding the end-effector from its starting position to the target fruit while avoiding obstacles poses a significant challenge for path planning in automatic harvesting. However, existing studies often rely on manually constructed environmental map models and face limitations in planning efficiency and computational cost.

This paper introduces a novel contactless single-chip detector that utilizes impedance-to-digital conversion technology to measure impedance in the microfluidic channel or capillary format analytical device. The detector is designed to operate similarly to capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detectors for capillary electrophoresis or chromatography but with the added capability of performing frequency sweeps up to 200 kHz. At each recorded data point, impedance and phase-shift data can be extracted, which can be used to generate impedance versus frequency plots, or phase-shift versus frequency plots.

Education & Training Evaluation Commission, Riyadh 12395, Saudi Arabia.
This study had two purposes: (1) to develop a forced-choice personality inventory to assess student personality characteristics based on the five-factor (FFM) personality model and (2) to examine its factor structure via the Thurstonian Item Response Theory (TIRT) approach based on Thurstone's law of comparative judgment. A total of 200 items were generated to represent the five dimensions, and through Principal Axis Factoring and the composite reliability index, a final pool of 75 items was selected. These items were then organized into 25 blocks, each containing three statements (triplets) designed to balance social desirability across the blocks.

Entropy (Basel)
November 2024
Institute of Information Technology, Warsaw University of Life Sciences-SGGW, 02-787 Warszawa, Poland.
The primary objective of our study is to analyze how the nature of explanatory variables influences the values and behavior of impurity measures, including the Shannon, Rényi, Tsallis, Sharma-Mittal, Sharma-Taneja, and Kapur entropies. Our analysis aims to use these measures in the interactive learning of decision trees, particularly in the tie-breaking situations where an expert needs to make a decision. We simulate the values of explanatory variables from various probability distributions in order to consider a wide range of variability and properties.
