An Economic Model for Creating a Network Enterprise Architecture by A. А. Bryzgalov, Yu. F. Telnov

“…The purpose of the study is to develop an economic justification model for creating a value chain for various types of digital platforms and technological methods of production of a network enterprise. As a basis for creating an economic justification model, it is proposed to use the method of functional and cost assessment of the architecture of a network enterprise, which determines the economic costs and risks of forming value chains that are associated with the production and provision of services of the enterprise.The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the economic justification for creating the architecture of a network enterprise should be carried out taking into account the dynamically changing needs of the customer and the state of the business ecosystem of the enterprise in the process of its functioning.The research methods are heuristic in nature, aimed at finding such a set of economic factors that will lead to the formation of an economically sound construction of the value chain. …”

Neural Network Method for Solving Time Fractional Diffusion Equations by Feng Gao, Chunmei Chi

“…We first used the Method of Lines to discretize the equation in the space domain while keeping the time domain continuous, and represent the solution of the diffusion equation using a neural network. Then we used Gauss–Jacobi quadrature to approximate the fractional derivative in the time domain, thereby obtaining the loss function for the neural network. …”

EA Improves the Motor Function in Rats with Spinal Cord Injury by Inhibiting Signal Transduction of Semaphorin3A and Upregulating of the Peripheral Nerve Networks by Rong Hu, Haipeng Xu, Yaheng Jiang, Yi Chen, Kelin He, Lei Wu, XiaoMei Shao, Ruijie Ma

“…When we knocked down the expression of Sema3A at the damage site, NRP1 also downregulated, importantly, PNNs concentration decreased, and tenascin-R (TN-R) and aggrecan were also reduced, while the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) motor function score dramatically increased. In addition, when conducting EA stimulation on Jiaji (EX-B2) acupoints, the highly upregulated Sema3A and NRP1 were reversed post-SCI, which can lessen the accumulation of PNNs around the central tube of the spinal cord gray matter, and simultaneously promote the recovery of motor function in rats. …”

Altered static and dynamic functional connectivity in major depressive disorder accompanied by high anxiety: evidence from the REST-meta-MDD consortium by Lujun Li, Zhijun Zeng, Yaling Zhou, Jinfei Lin, Jiayuan Li

“…Large-scale static and dynamic functional connectivity analyses were conducted to identify specific brain connectivity distinguishing MDD with low and high anxiety symptoms.ResultsWhile MDD patients with high and low anxiety symptoms exhibit overlapping alterations in dynamic functional connectivity between the auditory cortex and nodes of the salience network, their distinct clinical profiles may be associated with differential functional connectivity patterns between the components of the default mode network (DMN) and the visual network (VN), as well as between the components of the basal ganglia network (BGN) and VN.ConclusionThe VN–DMN–BGN functional circuit may help elucidate the underlying pathological mechanisms associated with varying levels of anxiety in depressive disorders. …”
