Exploration of linear and interpretable models for quantification of cell parameters via contactless short-wave infrared hyperspectral sensing by Anjana Hevaganinge, Eva Lowenstein, Anna Filatova, Mihir Modak, Nandi Thales Mogo, Bryana Rowley, Jenny Yarmowsky, Joshua Ehizibolo, Ravidu Hevaganinge, Amy Musser, Abbey Kim, Anthony Neri, Jessica Conway, Yiding Yuan, Maurizio Cattaneo, Sui Seng Tee, Yang Tao

“…This high repetition allows for effective denoising of each spectrum, so interpretable linear models can quantify metabolites. To illustrate, an interpretable linear model called L-SLR is trained using small datasets obtained with a SWIR HSI camera to quantify fructose, viable cell density (VCD), glucose, and lactate. …”

A General Framework for Closed Loop Negative Feedback Multivariable Physiological Control Systems: Existence, Uniqueness, and Stability of Homeostatic Equilibrium Points by Anna Procopio, Annarita Tedesco, Fabrizio Lo Regio, Giuseppe Cesarelli, Leandro Donisi, Carlo Ricciardi, Alessio Merola, Alfonso Maria Ponsiglione, Maria Romano, Francesco Montefusco, Carlo Cosentino, Francesco Amato

“…To this regard, in this paper, the existence, possible uniqueness and stability properties of the homeostatic equilibrium points of the general model are investigated; the theoretical framework is then illustrated through two real-world case-studies: (i) the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway nonlinear dynamics, a critical regulator of cellular growth, proliferation, and survival; (ii) the control mechanism of the neuromuscular stretch reflex, among the prime triggers implicated in postural control. …”

‘Queer Reverence’: Aubrey Beardsley’s Venus and Tannhäuser by Nicole Fluhr

“…During his short career, the writer and artist Aubrey Beardsley, who rose to prominence in the 1890s, cultivated a reputation for mannered excess that helped establish him as one of the aesthetes and decadents whose company he kept and whose works he illustrated. His unfinished novel Venus and Tannhäuser, which Stanley Weintraub calls ‘a triumph of excess,’ exhibits to the full Beardsley’s penchant for shocking readers and mocking aesthetic conventions. …”

Perspectives of Hispanic and Latinx Community Members on AI-Enabled mHealth Tools: Qualitative Focus Group Study by Stephanie A Kraft, Shaan Chopra, Miriana C Duran, Janet A Rojina, Abril Beretta, Katherine I López, Russell Javan, Benjamin S Wilfond, Margaret Rosenfeld, James Fogarty, Linda K Ko

“…We identified the following seven themes: (1) mHealth is seen as beneficial for promoting health and peace of mind; (2) some are unaware of, unfamiliar with, or uncomfortable with technology and may benefit from individualized support; (3) financial barriers limit access to mHealth; (4) practical considerations create barriers to using mHealth in daily life; (5) mHealth raises concern for overreliance on technology; (6) automated mHealth features are perceived as valuable but fallible, requiring human input to ensure accuracy; and (7) data sharing is seen as valuable for limited uses but raises privacy concerns. These themes illustrate key barriers to the benefits of mHealth that communities may face, provide insights into the role of mHealth within families, and examine the appropriate balance of data sharing and privacy protections. …”
