Effect of Health Literacy on Antiviral Treatment of Hepatitis B: Instrumental Variable Analysis by Hanchao Cheng, Shiyang Liu, Zhitao Wang, Qiyou Wu, Xin Wang, Polin Chan, Zhongdan Chen, Simon Luo, Yinghua Li, Jing Sun

“… Abstract BackgroundChina is a country with a high burden of hepatitis B (Hep B) but a low treatment rate. One of the key reasons for the low treatment rate is the inadequate health literacy (HL) of the people, which may affect the awareness and knowledge of Hep B and its treatment, as well as the ability to actively and correctly seek medical resources. …”

Improved variable step-size LMS algorithm based on hyperbolic tangent function by Jianwu ZHANG, Hao YU, Qianhua ZHANG

“…In order to improve that the LMS algorithm for determining step size cannot satisfy both rapid convergence and low steady-state misalignment errors,a variable step size algorithm (IVSSLMS) based on an improved hyperbolic tangent function was proposed.The step size feedback factor and the correlation value of the error signal were used to adjust the step size,and the problems of slow convergence speed and poor anti-noise ability of the fixed-step size algorithm was overcame.The performance and parameters settings of the proposed algorithm were analyzed.The simulation results show that IVSSLMS has a faster convergence rate,lower steady-state error and better system tracking capability than the existing variable step size algorithms under high and low SNR conditions.…”

USE OF TRIANGULAR MODELS OF NON-STATIONARY PROCESSES IN MODELING VARIABILITY OF HEART RHYTHM by Olena Akhiiezer, Olha Dunaievska, Mykhailo Shyshkin, Olha Butova, Anton Rohovyi

“…This research was the basis for the development of a Matlab model that implements the proposed method for analyzing heart rate variability. Tasks are: to give a description of the variability heart rate as a non-stationary process in Hilbert space in terms of correlation functions; to research the possibility of constructing a correlation and spectral theory of a non-stationary process using triangular models; to synthesize the mathematical model of nonstationary process on the basis of correlation theory for solving mathematical processing and forecasting tasks on the basis of ECG data. …”

Object spatial certainty as a measure of spatial variability and its influence on attention by Karolina J. Krzyś, Carmel Avitzur, Carrick C. Williams, Monica S. Castelhano

“…In two experiments, we examined how these variations affected search by manipulating whether the targets were either High Certainty or Low Certainty. Our findings demonstrate that the variability of spatial association of objects significantly affected how effectively scene context influences search performance.…”

“…AT 2023adya is unlikely to be a tidal disruption event (TDE) because the TDE models matching the observed brightness changes have low event rates. Although it is not possible to determine AT 2023adya’s nature based on the two-epoch single-band photometry alone, this discovery pushes the transient/variable science frontier past z = 5 and toward the Epoch of Reionization.…”
