Scientific Machine Learning for Elastic and Acoustic Wave Propagation: Neural Operator and Physics-Guided Neural Network by Nafisa Mehtaj, Sourav Banerjee

“…Unlike PINNs and PgNNs, which focus on specific PDEs with respective boundary conditions, NOs solve a family of PDEs and hold the potential to easily solve different boundary conditions. Hence, NOs provide a more generalized SciML approach. NOs extend neural networks to map between functions rather than vectors, enhancing their applicability. …”

Fail-Safe Logic Design Strategies Within Modern FPGA Architectures by Priya A. Bhakta, Jim Plusquellic, Andrew Suchanek, Tom J. Mannos

“…The propagation of fault effects through FPGA primitives including lookup tables (LUTs) and programmable interconnect points (PIPs) is assessed within an FPGA architecture created using an open source tool, and validated using fault injection experiments on an FPGA. The analysis reveals additional vulnerabilities exist within reconfigurable architectures over those in equivalent fail-safe application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), thus requiring a more elaborate network of redundant circuits and checking logic. …”

Cognitive Impairment and Brain Imaging Characteristics of Patients with Congenital Cataracts, Facial Dysmorphism, Neuropathy Syndrome by Teodora Chamova, Dora Zlatareva, Margarita Raycheva, Stoyan Bichev, Luba Kalaydjieva, Ivailo Tournev

“…The main abnormalities on brain MRI found in 19/20 patients included diffuse cerebral atrophy, enlargement of the lateral ventricles, and focal lesions in the subcortical white matter, different in number and size, consistent with demyelination more pronounced in the older CCFDN patients. The correlation analysis of the structural brain changes and the cognitive impairment found a statistically significant correlation only between the impairment of short-term verbal memory and the MRI changes.…”
