Psychology suffers from the absence of mathematically-formalized primitives. As a result, conceptual and quantitative studies lack an ontological basis that would situate them in the company of natural sciences. The article addresses this problem by describing a minimal psychic structure, expressed in the algebra of quantum theory. The structure is demarcated into categories of emotion and color, renowned as elementary psychological phenomena. This is achieved by means of quantum-theoretic qubit state space, isomorphic to emotion and color experiences both in meaning and math. In particular, colors are mapped to the qubit states through geometric affinity between the HSL-RGB color solids and the Bloch sphere, widely used in physics. The resulting correspondence aligns with the recent model of subjective experience, producing a unified spherical map of emotions and colors. This structure is identified as a semantic atom of natural thinking-a unit of affectively-colored personal meaning, involved in elementary acts of a binary decision. The model contributes to finding a unified ontology of both inert and living Nature, bridging previously disconnected fields of research. In particular, it enables theory-based coordination of emotion, decision, and cybernetic sciences, needed to achieve new levels of practical impact.

Article Synopsis
- Data-driven deep learning algorithms can accurately predict quantum-chemical molecular properties, but they struggle with flexibility due to input constraints from the training dataset's geometric relaxation.
- The proposed Local Atomic environment Contrastive Learning (LACL) method helps bridge the gap between different conformations by comparing generative methods, thus improving prediction accuracy.
- LACL creates a versatile latent space capturing local atomic environments, allowing for quantum-chemical accuracy without the usual geometric restrictions, and can be applied to a wide range of molecular types, including both small organics and larger biological molecules.

Atom probe tomography (APT) is ideally suited to characterize and understand the interplay of segregation and microstructure in modern multi-component materials. Yet, the quantitative analysis typically relies on human expertise to define regions of interest. We introduce a computationally efficient, multi-stage machine learning strategy to identify compositionally distinct domains in a semi-automated way, and subsequently quantify their geometric and compositional characteristics.

Objective: Use heuristic, deep learning (DL), and hybrid AI methods to predict semantic group (SG) assignments for new UMLS Metathesaurus atoms, with target accuracy ≥95%.
Materials And Methods: We used train-test datasets from successive 2020AA-2022AB UMLS Metathesaurus releases. Our heuristic "waterfall" approach employed a sequence of 7 different SG prediction methods.

Background: The first step in developing new drugs is to find binding sites for a protein structure that can be used as a starting point to design new antagonists and inhibitors. The methods relying on convolutional neural network for the prediction of binding sites have attracted much attention. This study focuses on the use of optimized neural network for three-dimensional (3D) non-Euclidean data.
