    A LeViT–EfficientNet-Based Feature Fusion Technique for Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis

    No full text
    Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative condition. It causes cognitive impairment and memory loss in individuals. Healthcare professionals face challenges in detecting AD in its initial stages. In this study, the author proposed a novel integrated approach, combining LeViT, EfficientNet B7, and Dartbooster XGBoost (DXB) models to detect AD using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The proposed model leverages the strength of improved LeViT and EfficientNet B7 models in extracting high-level features capturing complex patterns associated with AD. A feature fusion technique was employed to select crucial features. The author fine-tuned the DXB using the Bayesian optimization hyperband (BOHB) algorithm to predict AD using the extracted features. Two public datasets were used in this study. The proposed model was trained using the Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS) Alzheimer’s dataset containing 86,390 MRI images. The Alzheimer’s dataset was used to evaluate the generalization capability of the proposed model. The proposed model obtained an average generalization accuracy of 99.8% with limited computational power. The findings highlighted the exceptional performance of the proposed model in predicting the multiple types of AD. The recommended integrated feature extraction approach has supported the proposed model to outperform the state-of-the-art AD detection models. The proposed model can assist healthcare professionals in offering customized treatment for individuals with AD. The effectiveness of the proposed model can be improved by generalizing it to diverse datasets

    Conclusions 1. Group biological probes on white mice were used to examine 64 dogs and 224 domestic cats. Toxoplasma was isolated from dogs in one test and from cats in another. In one case Toxoplasma was observed in a cerebrospinal fluid precipitate from cats. 2. In a CFR examination of blood sera from 1,132 domestic animals for toxoplasmosis, positive results were obtained from 25 (37.5%) dog sera, 28 (57.1%) rabbit sera, and 260 (33.4%) cattle sera. 3. In a CFR investigation of sera. from white mice used in bioprobes on domestic cats, toxoplasmosis antibodies were observed in 8 out of 31 bioprobes.

    Synthesis and characterization of well-defined poly(2-deoxy-2-methacrylamido-d-glucose) and its biopotential block copolymers via RAFT and ROP polymerization

    Well-defined homopolymers of 2-deoxy-2-methacrylamido-D-glucose (MAG) were synthesized via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization using 4-cyanopentanoic acid-4-dithiobenzoate as chain transfer agent (CTA) and 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator. The effect of polymerization conditions such as molar ratio of RAFT agent to initiator and monomer to RAFT agent on conversion and molecular mass characteristics of prepared polymers was estimated. Kinetics of the polymerization under various reaction conditions was studied as a function of time and conversion using in situ 1H NMR spectroscopy. The living character of polymerization was demonstrated by carriyng out the further chain extension experiments using isolated PMAG-CTA as a macroRAFT agent. For that, the PMAG with higher molecular weight, as well as block copolymer with acrylic acid were synthesized and characterized using 1H NMR and SEC analysis. A novel amphiphilic copolymer representing a hybrid of glycopolymer and polypeptide fragments was synthesized using RAFT and ring-opening polymerization (ROP). In this case, dithiobenzoate end-group of PMAG was transformed via simultaneous reduction and in situ thiol capping reaction by cysteamine hydrochloride into amino functionality suitable for polymerization of N-carboxyanhydrides (NCA). Two block copolymers of MAG with poly-L-phenylalanine (PPhe) differed with hydrophobic block length were synthesized, characterized and used for preparation of particles via copolymer self-assembly. The hydrodynamic diameter, morphology and cytotoxicity of polymer particles based on PMAG-b-PPhe were evaluated using DLS, TEM and MTT-assay, respectively. Moreover, the encapsulation of model compound (fluorescent dye rhodamine 6G) inside PMAG-b-PPhe micelles, as well as its release, were also tested

    V.I. Vernadsky and the noosphere concept: Russian understandings of society-nature interaction

    No full text
    Recent Russian legislative and policy documentation concerning national progress towards sustainable development has suggested that the attainment of such a state would represent the first stage in the development of the noosphere as outlined by the Russian scientist Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky (1863–1945). This paper explores Vernadsky’s model of evolutionary change through a focus on his work on the biosphere and noosphere in an attempt to further understanding of the way in which Russia is approaching the concept of sustainable development in the contemporary period. It is argued that the official Russian interpretation of the noosphere idea tends to obscure the evolutionary and materialist foundations of Vernadsky’s biosphere–noosphere conceptualisation. At the same time, the concluding section of the paper suggests that the scope of Vernadsky’s work can be used to stimulate the search for a more coherent approach to work in areas of sustainable development and sustainability across the span of the social and physical sciences

    Search for baryon and lepton number violating decays D →pl

    No full text
    We search for the baryon and lepton number violating charm decays, D→pl, where D is either a D0 or a D ̄0 and l is a muon or an electron, using a data sample of 921 fb-1 collected by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e+e- collider. In the absence of significant signals, we set upper limits on the branching fractions in the range (5-8)×10-7 at a 90% confidence level, depending on the decay mode

    Why Do Babies Cry: Once Again About Egoism and Altruism

    No full text
    The article deals with a ratio between egoistic and altruistic components in a person’s motivation and activity. The author provides new interpretations for the widely known examples of altruistic behavior. The results of experimental investigations discovering positive correlations, which exist between egoism and altruism in a person’s daily activity, are quoted. The author touches upon the problem of egoism as a new possible subject of psychology. The incorporation of egoism concept into the structure of modern humanitarian science opens new perspectives for theorizing and experimental investigation

    I describe the development of a read-out system of the pixel detector at Belle II and the search for a rare D+ decay at Belle. The rare D+ decay is sensitive to physics beyond the standard model. I measured branching fraction with weak statistical significance, and therefore report an upper exclusion limit on the branching fraction. In the second part of the thesis, I describe an FPGA-based read-out system for the DEPFET pixel detector of the new Belle II experiment. The system controls the pixel detector and processes its data as a stand-alone data acquisition system for detector characterization and as a high-performance read-out system at Belle II.Die Dissertation befasst sich mit dem Aufbau des Datenerfassungssystems für den Pixeldetektor in Belle II und der Suche nach einem seltenen Zerfall des D+ Mesons in dem gesamten Datensatz des Belle Experiments. Der Zerfall könnte Physik jenseits des Standardmodels ausschließen. Ich habe das Verzweigungsverhältnis mit schwacher statistischer Signifikanz gemessen und eine Ausschlussgrenze für das Verhältnis bestimmt. Im zweiten Teil meiner Arbeit beschreibe ich ein FPGA-basiertes Auslesesystem für den Belle II Pixeldetektor. Das System steuert den Detektor und verarbeitet seine Daten als Datenerfassungssystem für Detektorencharakterisierung und als schnelles Auslesesystem in Belle II
