Improving I-ELM structure through optimal addition of hidden nodes: Compact I-ELM by Sunghyo Seo, Jongkwon Jo, Muhammad Hamza, Youngsoon Kim

“…Unlike in existing I-ELMs, which use random hidden nodes, we propose a compact I-ELM algorithm that initially adds linear regression nodes and subsequently applies a method to ensure that the hidden nodes have patterns differing from the existing ones. Based on benchmark data, we confirmed that the proposed method constructs a compact neural network structure with fewer hidden nodes compared to the existing I-ELM systems.…”

GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MAFIC ROCKS IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE YENISEI-KHATANGA TROUGH AND THEIR BELONGING TO THE SIBERIAN TRAP PROVINCE by O. P. Polyansky, Yu. F. Filippov, A. Y. Selyatitskii, P. O. Polyansky

“…The geochemical characteristics of mafic rocks, presenting in the sedimentary complexes of the YKT, correspond to three types of mafic rocks allocated to the Siberian LIP: Nadezhdinsky (low Ti), Morongovsky (low Ti), and, in limited quantities, Ivakinsky (rift-related high Ti). Based on the seismic data, there was constructed a deep structural-tectonic cross-sectional model, and there was considered the position of mafic intrusions in the sedimentary section in the western junction zone of the Siberian Platform and the Kara (Taimyr-Severozemelsky) orogen. …”

Genomic patterns of strain-specific genetic structure, linkage, and selection across fall armyworm populations by Ashley E. Tessnow, Rodney N. Nagoshi, Robert L. Meagher, Todd M. Gilligan, Ben M. Sadd, Yves Carrière, Holly N. Davis, Shelby J. Fleischer, Kelly Richers, John C. Palumbo, Patrick Porter, Jose Carlos Verle Rodrigues, Gregory A. Sword

“…We also show that a region of the Z-chromosome containing a circadian clock gene implicated in allochronic reproductive isolation is under strain-specific selection. Our data indicates that strains differ in their geographic distributions and exhibit distinct patterns of geographic sub-structuring indicative of unique dispersal patterns. …”

Comparative effects of Semantic vs Structural Elaboration on Iranian EFL Learners' Vocabulary Learning Process by Narges Rahmani, Ataollah Maleki

“…Due to this inconsistency, the findings proved to be in line with TAP theory, suggesting that Level of Processing (LOP) theory should be accompanied with TAP to end in facilitating results. Data analysis -mirroring the Type of Processing–Resource Allocation (TOPRA) effect- indicated that while the +semantic as compared to +semantic/structural facilitated performance on recall of words, had a negative effect in comparison with +structural. …”

Using genomic structural equation modeling to examine the genetic architecture of PTSD and life satisfaction phenotypes by Shannon E. Cusack, Anna W. Wright, Peter B. Barr, Emily Notari, Kaitlin E. Bountress, Ananda B. Amstadter

“…We sought to examine the genetic architecture of PTSD and six life satisfaction and well-being phenotypes (i.e. subjective well-being, friend satisfaction, life satisfaction, family satisfaction, work satisfaction, and financial satisfaction) using a multivariate approach.Method: We used Genomic Structural Equation Modeling (gSEM) to analyze summary-level genetic data from large-scale GWAS of the European Ancestry.Results: Findings show that a two, correlated factors model fit the data best, in which PTSD and life satisfaction phenotypes load on separate but correlated factors.Conclusions: Findings suggest that, using multivariate methods, a latent factor capturing many different positive phenotypes is genetically related to PTSD. …”
