Physics-Informed Deep Learning for Three Dimensional Black Holes by Emad Yaraie, Hossein Ghaffarnejad, Mohammad Farsam

“…Data has been collected by choosing minimally coupled massive scalar field with quantum fluctuations and we try to process two emergent and ground-truth metrics versus the holographic parameter which plays the role of depth of the neural network. Loss or error function which shows rate of deviation of these two metrics in presence of penalty regularization term reaches to its minimum value when values of the learning rate approach to the observed steepest gradient point. …”

Effects of positive sex education and pelvic floor strengthening program on sexual and pelvic health among youngest old: a randomized controlled trial by Ayse Deliktas Demirci, Alime Buyuk, Kamile Kabukcuoglu

“…In addition, although women who participated in the program had increased sexual esteem and quality of sexual life compared to those in the waiting-list control group, the observed difference did not reach a level of statistical significance. Conclusions The sexual program which handled comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach could offer more than just addressing sexual function. …”

Deep brain stimulation in globus pallidus internus travels to thalamus and subthalamic nuclei along physiological pathways by Maral Kasiri, Jessica Vidmark, Estefania Hernandez-Martin, S. Alireza Seyyed Mousavi, Terence D. Sanger, Terence D. Sanger, Terence D. Sanger

“…Significant correlations between intrinsic signal transfer functions and EPs, particularly in orthodromic directions (p-value &lt; 0.01) from pallidum to thalamus and subthalamic nucleus, support our hypothesis that DBS travels along physiological pathways.DiscussionThese results suggest that DBS engages existing motor pathways to reach distant targets, offering mechanistic insight into its network effects. …”

Functional Polyacrylate Textile Coatings with <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (DEET) Immobilized on Zirconia, Alumina and Silica Sorbents by Sergei Zverev, Sergei Andreev, Ekaterina Anosova, Varvara Morenova, Maria Rakitina, Vladimir Vinokurov

“…In this study, polymer films based on the inorganic sorbents Al₂O₃, ZrO₂ and SiO₂-phenyl with repellent <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide were prepared and used as functional textile coatings. The high sorption activity of oxides with respect to <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (63–239 mg/g) allows for the use of these compounds as repellent carrier materials, and their mixture with polyacrylates allows for the formation of functional coatings–polymer films. …”
