Genetic expression changes and pathologic findings associated with hyperhomocysteinemia in human autopsy brain tissue by Erica M. Weekman, Zach Winder, Colin B. Rogers, Erin L. Abner, Tiffany L. Sudduth, Ela Patel, Adam J. Dugan, Shuling X. Fister, Brandi Wasek, Peter T. Nelson, Gregory A. Jicha, Teodoro Bottiglieri, David W. Fardo, Donna M. Wilcock

“…Conclusions Increased plasma homocysteine and older age were associated with the downregulation of inflammatory gene expression markers in association with significant glial and vascular pathology changes. Impaired immune function is a plausible mechanism by which HHcy increases cerebrovascular damage leading to impaired cognitive function.…”

Convergence Analysis of Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers for a Class of Separable Convex Programming by Zehui Jia, Ke Guo, Xingju Cai

“…The purpose of this paper is extending the convergence analysis of Han and Yuan (2012) for alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) from the strongly convex to a more general case. Under the assumption that the individual functions are composites of strongly convex functions and linear functions, we prove that the classical ADMM for separable convex programming with two blocks can be extended to the case with more than three blocks. …”

The role of epistemic trust and epistemic disruption in vaccine hesitancy, conspiracy thinking and the capacity to identify fake news. by Michal Tanzer, Chloe Campbell, Rob Saunders, Thomas Booker, Patrick Luyten, Peter Fonagy

“…The work described here sought to investigate how the vulnerability engendered by disruptions in epistemic trust may not only impact psychological resilience and interpersonal processes but also aspects of more general social functioning. We undertook two studies to examine the role of epistemic trust in determining capacity to recognise fake/real news, and susceptibility to conspiracy thinking-both in general and in relation to COVID-19. …”

SOMO-m Optimization Algorithm with Multiple Winners by Wei Wu, Atlas Khan

“…In particular, Su and Zhao proposes in (2009) an SOM-based optimization (SOMO) algorithm in order to find a wining neuron, through a competitive learning process, that stands for the minimum of an objective function. In this paper, we generalize the SOM-based optimization (SOMO) algorithm to so-called SOMO-m algorithm with m winning neurons. …”

Improved Hermite–Hadamard Inequality Bounds for Riemann–Liouville Fractional Integrals via Jensen’s Inequality by Muhammad Aamir Ali, Wei Liu, Shigeru Furuichi, Michal Fečkan

“…This paper derives the sharp bounds for Hermite–Hadamard inequalities in the context of Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals. A generalization of Jensen’s inequality called the Jensen–Mercer inequality is used for general points to find the new and refined bounds of fractional Hermite–Hadamard inequalities. …”

Hypoxia-induced metabolic reprogramming in mesenchymal stem cells: unlocking the regenerative potential of secreted factors by Wendy V. Jaraba-Álvarez, Ashanti C. Uscanga-Palomeque, Vanesa Sanchez-Giraldo, Claudia Madrid, Hector Ortega-Arellano, Karolynn Halpert, Karolynn Halpert, Carolina Quintero-Gil

“…By integrating metabolic insights with clinical evidence, we aim to offer a comprehensive perspective on optimizing MSC culture conditions to enhance their regenerative properties, acknowledging that this remains a theoretical standpoint, as conventional culture methods are generally not conducted under hypoxic conditions. This approach holds promise for the development of more effective therapeutic strategies that leverage metabolic modulation to improve MSC-based interventions for a range of diseases.…”
