Fate-tox: fragment attention transformer for E(3)-equivariant multi-organ toxicity prediction by Sumin Ha, Dongmin Bang, Sun Kim

“…To address these challenges with multiple strategies, we developed FATE-Tox, a novel multi-view deep learning framework for multi-organ toxicity prediction. For variability of substructures, we used three fragmentation methods such as BRICS, Bemis-Murcko scaffolds, and RDKit Functional Groups to formulate fragment-level graphs so that diverse substructures can be used to identify toxicity for different organs. …”

Correlation between Electrochemical Relaxations and Morphologies of Conducting Polymer Dendrites by Antoine Baron, Enrique H. Balaguera, Sébastien Pecqueur

“…Correlations are established between dispersive capacitances of dendritic morphologies and growth duration, independently from exogenous physical variables: distance, evaporation or aging. Deviation of the anomalous capacitance from the conventional Debye dielectric relaxation can be programmed, as the growth controls the dispersion coefficient of the dendrite's constant-phase elements relaxation. …”
