Design of Decision Tree Structure with Improved BPNN Nodes for High-Accuracy Locomotion Mode Recognition Using a Single IMU by Yang Han, Chunbao Liu, Lingyun Yan, Lei Ren

“…To reduce the burden of sensors on users and recognize more locomotion modes, we design a novel decision tree structure (DTS) based on using an improved backpropagation neural network (IBPNN) as judgment nodes named IBPNN-DTS, after analyzing the experimental locomotion mode data using the original values with a 200-ms time window for a single inertial measurement unit to hierarchically identify nine common locomotion modes (level walking at three kinds of speeds, ramp ascent/descent, stair ascent/descent, Sit, and Stand). In addition, we reduce the number of parameters in the IBPNN for structure optimization and adopted the artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm to perform global search for initial weight and threshold value to eliminate system uncertainty because randomly generated initial values tend to result in a failure to converge or falling into local optima. …”

Rare coding variants in the phospholipase D3 gene confer risk for Alzheimer's disease. by Cruchaga, C, Karch, C, Jin, S, Benitez, B, Cai, Y, Guerreiro, R, Harari, O, Norton, J, Budde, J, Bertelsen, S, Jeng, A, Cooper, B, Skorupa, T, Carrell, D, Levitch, D, Hsu, S, Choi, J, Ryten, M, Hardy, J, Ryten, M, Trabzuni, D, Weale, M, Ramasamy, A, Smith, C, Sassi, C

“…A rare variant in PLD3 (phospholipase D3; Val232Met) segregated with disease status in two independent families and doubled risk for Alzheimer's disease in seven independent case-control series with a total of more than 11,000 cases and controls of European descent. Gene-based burden analyses in 4,387 cases and controls of European descent and 302 African American cases and controls, with complete sequence data for PLD3, reveal that several variants in this gene increase risk for Alzheimer's disease in both populations. …”
