A promising deep learning-assistive algorithm for histopathological screening of colorectal cancer by Ho, Cowan, Zhao, Zitong, Chen, Xiu Fen, Sauer, Jan, Saraf, Sahil Ajit, Jialdasani, Rajasa, Taghipour, Kaveh, Sathe, Aneesh, Khor, Li-Yan, Lim, Kiat-Hon, Leow, Wei-Qiang

“…We demonstrate an unique composite AI-model incorporating both a glandular segmentation deep learning model and a classical machine learning classifier, with excellent sensitivity in picking up high risk colorectal features. As such, AI plays a role as a potential screening tool in assisting busy pathologists by outlining the dysplastic and malignant glands.…”

Exploring dependence structures among European electricity markets: static and dynamic copula-GARCH and dynamic state-space approaches by Ly, Sel, Sriboonchitta, Songsak, Tang, Jiechen, Wong, Wing-Keung

“…Based on the results of the ARMA-GJR-GARCH model, we first find that there are spillover effects in the returns of both base and peak spot prices in the five European electricity markets, and there are heteroskedastic, asymmetric, and leverage effects with negative and positive shocks, including spikes and drops during both base and peak load periods. …”

Mechanics of fracture and flexure in Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves by Zhang, H

“…In grounding zones and floating ice shelves, ice fracturing is often associated with flexure modulated by ocean tides and subglacial water flow, as well as stresses created by shearing, such as pinning points. Fracture and flexure significantly affect the vulnerability of Antarctic ice shelves to hydrofracturing and, by altering buttressing effects, the mass balance of the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet. …”

Culture of human pluripotent stem cells and neural networks in 3D using an optogenetic approach and a hydrogel model by Lee, S

“…</p> <p>The optogenetically modified neurons were found responsive to light stimulation, showing firing patterns and calcium events typical of early developing neurons (e.g. mixed and burst waves; single and multipeak spikes). Neuronal activities were assessed using calcium imaging. …”
