Unilateral chewing of foods. Analysis of energy balance and peak power of the mandibular elevator muscles by Przemysław Stróżyk, Jacek Bałchanowski

“…The results indicate that (1) food height and texture significantly affect muscle energy and (2) the masticatory and medial pterygoid muscles generate more incredible energy and peak power on the working side than on the non working side, while the opposite was observed for the temporalis muscle and (3) comparative analysis showed that food position on the dental arch has a more significant effect on muscle peak power for foods with high texture heterogeneity than for foods with low texture heterogeneity.…”

Quantum Universally Composable Oblivious Linear Evaluation by Manuel B. Santos, Paulo Mateus, Chrysoula Vlachou

“…These constructions utilize the existence of a complete set of mutually unbiased bases in prime-power dimension Hilbert spaces and their linear behaviour upon the Heisenberg-Weyl operators. We also generalize our protocol to achieve vector oblivious linear evaluation, where several instances of oblivious linear evaluation are generated, thus making the protocol more efficient. …”

Hyperspectral RGB Imaging Combined With Deep Learning for Maize Seed Variety Identification by Jian Li, Fan Xu, Shaozhong Song, Qi Ji, Junling Liu

“…After that, we improved the classic ResNet50 model by adding the coordinate attention (CA) mechanism to the end of each residual block and replacing the global ReLU activation function with SiLU. This improvement enabled the model to capture more precise and detailed features while enhancing its predictive capability. …”

A Parameter-tunable Triangular Norm with Monotonic Genes by WU Lunhua, ZHAO Hui, WANG Yue

“… In order to study the optimization of Zadeh operator, a definition of parameter-tunable triangular norm with monotonic genes is given.First, we defined a kind of triangular norm Fλin the general sense generated by monotone functions using elementary operations, and then a definition of triangular conorm Gλin the general sense is given by using duality.This type of definition unifies the optimal Zadeh operator proposed by some authors.Next, this definition is applied to generate a new pair of triangular norms. …”

Prediction of mutational tolerance in HIV-1 protease and reverse transcriptase using flexible backbone protein design. by Elisabeth Humphris-Narayanan, Eyal Akiva, Rocco Varela, Shane Ó Conchúir, Tanja Kortemme

“…We find the model correctly captures a considerable fraction of protease and reverse-transcriptase mutational tolerance and shows comparable accuracy using either experimentally determined or computationally generated structural ensembles. Predictions of tolerated sequence space afforded by the model provide insights into stability-function tradeoffs in the emergence of resistance mutations and into strengths and limitations of the computational model.…”
