Enhancing downstream ML performance with unconditional diffusion models for return predictions by Agarwala, Pratham

“…These include: (1)Discriminative Score: measures classifier’s ability to differentiate between real and synthetic. (2) Mutual Information Coefficient: measures amount of shared information between the synthetic and real. (3) Variation in Information: Evaluates the diversity within the synthetic data. Findings indicate a direct link between these factors and model performance, with high-diversity and optimal fidelity datasets enhancing forecasting accuracy. …”

Controllable broadband multicolour single-mode polarized laser in a dye-assembled homoepitaxial MOF microcrystal by He, Huajun, Cui, Yuanjing, Li, Hongjun, Shao, Kai, Chen, Banglin, Qian, Guodong

“…Furthermore, the resulting three-colour single-mode lasing possesses the largest wavelength coverage of ~186 nm (ranging from ~534 to ~720 nm) ever reported. These findings may open a new route to the exploitation of multicolour single-mode micro/nanolasers constructed by MOF engineering for photonic and biochemical applications.…”

First records of diurnal and nocturnal predatory birds from artificial hunting perch trials in oil palm plantations by Tohiran, Kamil, Nasir, Dzulhelmi Muhammad, Burhanuddin, Maisarah, Nobilly, Frisco, Zulkifli, Raja, Moslim, Ramle, Yahya, Muhammad Syafiq, Norhisham, Ahmad Razi, Lechner, Alex M., Azhar, Badrul

“…In a 24 h period, bird visits to artificial perches peaked between 10:00 am and 5:30 pm. Our findings suggest that artificial bird perches can facilitate the occurrence of diurnal and nocturnal predatory birds in oil palm plantations to control rodent infestation. …”

Stability characterizations of feed-based bivalent vaccine containing inactivated Streptococcus agalactiae and Aeromonas hydrophila against streptococcosis and Aeromonas infections... by Mohd Ali, Nur Shidaa, Ngalimat, Mohamad Syazwan, Saad, Mohd Zamri, Amal, Mohammad Noor Azmai, Salleh, Annas, Zulperi, Zarirah, Md Yasin, Ina Salwany

“…Fish vaccinated with FBBV that was stored for 0, 30 and 60 days did not show any significant differences (p≥0.05) in the relative percent survival when challenged with pathogenic Streptococcus spp. and Aeromonas spp. These findings suggested that the FBBV is a stable vaccine, which underscores its potential application as aquatic vaccines in aquaculture.…”
