Objective: Epistasis identification is critical for determining susceptibility to human genetic diseases. The rapid development of technology has enabled scalability to make multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) measurements an effective calculation tool that achieves superior detection. However, the classification of high-risk (H) or low-risk (L) groups in multidrug resistance operations calls for extensive research.

Methods And Material: In this study, an improved fuzzy sigmoid (FS) method using the membership degree in MDR (FSMDR) was proposed for solving the limitations of binary classification. The FS method combined with MDR measurements yielded an improved ability to distinguish similar frequencies of potential multifactor genotypes.

Results: We compared our results with other MDR-based methods and FSMDR achieved superior detection rates on simulated data sets. The results indicated that the fuzzy classifications can provide insight into the uncertainty of H/L classification in MDR operation.

Conclusion: FSMDR successfully detected significant epistasis of coronary artery disease in the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium data set.

Accurate polyp segmentation is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. This is a challenging task for three main reasons: (i) the problem of model overfitting and weak generalization due to the multi-center distribution of data; (ii) the problem of interclass ambiguity caused by motion blur and overexposure to endoscopic light; and (iii) the problem of intraclass inconsistency caused by the variety of morphologies and sizes of the same type of polyps. To address these challenges, we propose a new high-precision polyp segmentation framework, MEFA-Net, which consists of three modules, including the plug-and-play Mask Enhancement Module (MEG), Separable Path Attention Enhancement Module (SPAE), and Dynamic Global Attention Pool Module (DGAP).

The increasing concern about global warming and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves has led to a growing interest in alternative energy sources, particularly fuel cells (FCs). These green energy sources convert chemical energy into electrical energy, offering advantages such as quick initiation, high power density, and efficient operation at low temperatures. However, the performance of FCs is influenced by changes in operating temperature, and optimal efficiency is achieved by operating them at their maximum power point (MPP).

Rural Revitalization (RR) is a key national strategy in China aimed at sustainable rural development and has gained significant attention. Given the unique characteristics of different villages, understanding differentiated paths to achieve RR is essential. This study introduces a new "5I Framework" (INDUS-INHAB-INDOC-INFRA-INCOM) to assess RR's overall development status (ODS) and differentiated paths.

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.
