New LMI-Based Conditions on Neural Networks of Neutral Type with Discrete Interval Delays and General Activation Functions by Guoquan Liu, Shumin Zhou, He Huang

“…The stability analysis of global asymptotic stability of neural networks of neutral type with both discrete interval delays and general activation functions is discussed. New delay-dependent conditions are obtained by using more general Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals. …”

Functional memory B cells and long-lived plasma cells are generated after a single Plasmodium chabaudi infection in mice. by Francis Maina Ndungu, Emma Tamsin Cadman, Joshua Coulcher, Eunice Nduati, Elisabeth Couper, Douglas William Macdonald, Dorothy Ng, Jean Langhorne

“…Thus, in this model of malaria, both functional Plasmodium-specific memory B cells and long-lived plasma cells can be generated, suggesting that defects in generating these cell populations may not be the reason for generating short-lived antibody responses.…”

Equipment Maintenance Support Effectiveness Evaluation Based on Improved Generative Adversarial Network and Radial Basis Function Network by Zhen Li, Jianping Hao, Cuijuan Gao

“…Due to the lack of maintenance support samples, maintenance support effectiveness evaluation based on the deep neural network often faces the problem of small sample overfitting and low generalization ability. In this paper, a neural network evaluation model based on an improved generative adversarial network (GAN) and radial basis function (RBF) network is proposed to amplify maintenance support samples. …”
