The present study was carried out to improve, test, and validate the Cascade Forward Neural Network (CFNN) for co-composting of municipal solid waste (MSW) and cattle manure (CM). Composting was performed in vessel pilot-scale reactors with different CM rates for 105 days. The CFNN used 5 input variables containing CM and MSW mixture combinations, and 1 output for each of the compost quality parameters. The CFNN results were compared with Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Feed Forward Neural Network (FFNN) results. Multi-objective optimization process using Genetic Algorithm (GA), the total desirability, which has a much better value than the RSM, was obtained as 0.4455 and the CM ratio and processing time were determined as approximately 23.39% and 104.86 days, respectively. It is concluded that CFNN is a unique modeling tool, exhibiting superior modeling and prediction performance in MSW and compost modeling for CM.

Background: Primary intracranial germ cell tumors (iGCTs) are highly malignant brain tumors that predominantly occur in children and adolescents, with an incidence rate ranking third among primary brain tumors in East Asia (8%-15%). Due to their insidious onset and impact on critical functional areas of the brain, these tumors often result in irreversible abnormalities in growth and development, as well as cognitive and motor impairments in affected children. Therefore, early diagnosis through advanced screening techniques is vital for improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

Cardiac arrhythmias are major global health concern and their early detection is critical for diagnosis. This study comprehensively evaluates the effectiveness of CNNs and LSTMs for the classification of cardiac arrhythmias, considering three PhysioNet datasets. ECG records are segmented to accommodate around ∼10s of ECG data.

Social animals live in groups and interact volitionally in complex ways. However, little is known about neural responses under such natural conditions. Here, we investigated hippocampal CA1 neurons in a mixed-sex group of five to 10 freely behaving wild Egyptian fruit bats that lived continuously in a laboratory-based cave and formed a stable social network.

Personalized cancer drug treatment is emerging as a frontier issue in modern medical research. Considering the genomic differences among cancer patients, determining the most effective drug treatment plan is a complex and crucial task. In response to these challenges, this study introduces the Adaptive Sparse Graph Contrastive Learning Network (ASGCL), an innovative approach to unraveling latent interactions in the complex context of cancer cell lines and drugs.

Article Synopsis
  • Synchronization in brain networks is crucial for processing information, but time delays in signal transmission can significantly influence this process, especially in more complex spiking neural networks.
  • The study involves investigating synchronization conditions and dynamics in a two-dimensional network of adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire neurons, focusing on how delay impacts this behavior.
  • Findings reveal that synchronization patterns depend on a combination of properties at different levels, including individual neuron characteristics, network connectivity, and long-range connections, which together affect the emergent activity patterns in the brain.
