Computational approach in obtaining analytic solutions of a generalized nonlinear breaking soliton equation with applications in engineering and physics by Oke Davies Adeyemo, Chaudry Masood Khalique

“…Moreover, in conjunction with the theory, the direct integration technique is engaged to secure an analytic solution of the equation and as a result, a general analytic solution with regard to the second-kind elliptic-integral function is furnished. Moreover, we engage the novel simplest equation technique to gain more general solutions to the equation. …”

In-depth and high-throughput spatial proteomics for whole-tissue slice profiling by deep learning-facilitated sparse sampling strategy by Ritian Qin, Jiacheng Ma, Fuchu He, Weijie Qin

“…To achieve spatially resolved, deeply covered proteome mapping for centimeter-sized samples, we developed a sparse sampling strategy for spatial proteomics (S4P) using computationally assisted image reconstruction methods, which is potentially capable of reducing the number of samples by tens to thousands of times depending on the spatial resolution. In this way, we generated the largest spatial proteome to date, mapping more than 9000 proteins in the mouse brain, and discovered potential new regional or cell type markers. …”
