Advanced attack and defense techniques in machine learning systems by Zhao, Mengchen

“…Experimental results show that both PEDS and PEMS lead to significant higher defender utilities than two existing benchmarks in different parameter settings. Also, both PEDS and PEMS are more robust than the existing benchmarks considering uncertainties. …”

Genetic and observational associations of nuclear magnetic resonance-measured lipid-related traits and atherosclerotic cardiovascular mortality in the Mexico City Prospective Study by Wang, Y

“…Further MR analyses supported that only ApoB was independently and significantly related to an increased risk of ASCVD mortality in a multivariable setting and suggested ApoB, as the accurate measure of apoB particles, is causally related to the risk of ASCVD, independent of lipid contents such as TG and cholesterol, and HDL or ApoA1. …”
