Unveiling scientific articles from paper mills with provenance analysis

Plos.org 

by João Phillipe Cardenuto, Daniel Moreira, Anderson Rocha

The increasing prevalence of fake publications created by paper mills poses a significant challenge to maintaining scientific integrity. While integrity analysts typically rely on textual and visual clues to identify fake articles, determining which papers merit further investigation can be akin to searching for a needle in a haystack, as these fake publications have non-related authors and are published on non-related venues. To address this challenge... Читать дальше...

A novel method for generating public keys involving matrix operations

Plos.org 

by Xin Sun, Jiajia Han, Bang Lv, Changhua Sun, Cheng Zeng

With the rise of the Internet of things, the limitations of traditional PKI certificate authentication technology have progressively emerged. Hence, identity-based public key algorithms have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a new approach to generate an identity key, named identity public key (IPK). IPK identity key generation protocol is based on SM2 elliptic curve cryptography and random matrix theory. It builds upon the... Читать дальше...

Associations between Life’s Essential 8 and gallstones among US adults: A cross-sectional study from NHANES 2017–2018

Plos.org 

by Ting Wang, Ruijie Xie, Cong Jiang, Lanyu Chen

Background

Cardiovascular illness and gallstones are closely related. Our goal was to determine whether gallstones and the updated LE8 score, which measures cardiovascular health among US adults, are related.

Methods

3,570 adults participated in the 2017–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which provided the data for our study. Based on the criterion provided by the American Association for Cardiovascular Health (AHA)... Читать дальше...

Evaluating LLMs’ grammatical error correction performance in learner Chinese

Plos.org 

by Sha Lin

Large language models (LLMs) have recently exhibited significant capabilities in various English NLP tasks. However, their performance in Chinese grammatical error correction (CGEC) remains unexplored. This study evaluates the abilities of state-of-the-art LLMs in correcting learner Chinese errors from a corpus linguistic perspective. The performance of LLMs is assessed using standard evaluation metrics of MaxMatch score. Keyword and key n-gram analyses are conducted to quantitatively... Читать дальше...

Which character strengths may build organizational well-being? Insights from an international sample of workers

Plos.org 

by Nicole Casali, Tommaso Feraco

The nature and composition of well-being has been the subject of ongoing debate in the field of positive psychology. Recent discussions identify Seligman’s PERMA dimensions as concrete pathways to achieve subjective well-being, rather than a distinct type of well-being. Four additional “building blocks” have been categorized to define positive functioning at work (PERMA+4). The present study adds another level of inquiry, by newly examining the relationships...

Monocarboxylate transporter dependent mechanism is involved in proliferation, migration, and invasion of human glioblastoma cell lines via activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway

Plos.org 

by Chen Gao, Binni Yang, Yurong Li, Wenjuan Pei

Glioblastoma multiforme is one of the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system, with a very poor prognosis. Cancer cells have been observed to upregulate pH regulators, such as monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), with an increase in MCT4 expression being observed in several malignancies. MCT4/ recombinant cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147) transporter complex was reported to stimulate vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)... Читать дальше...

In vitro antibacterial activity of Morinda citrifolia extracts against eight pathogenic bacteria species

Plos.org 

by Frederick Obeng-Boateng, Stephen Wilson Kpordze, Francis Addy

Medical professionals continue to face a severe issue with the evolution of resistance to conventional antibiotics. The search for new novel compounds from plants has been proven to be the alternative solution. Morinda citrifolia is used traditionally for the treatment of infectious diseases. The present study investigates the antibacterial properties of M. citrifolia root, leaf, and fruit (fresh, dried, and fermented) extracts... Читать дальше...

Effect of observer’s cultural background and masking condition of target face on facial expression recognition for machine-learning dataset

Plos.org 

by Masahito Nagata, Katsunori Okajima

Facial expression recognition (FER) is significantly influenced by the cultural background (CB) of observers and the masking conditions of the target face. This study aimed to clarify these factors’ impact on FER, particularly in machine-learning datasets, increasingly used in human-computer interaction and automated systems. We conducted an FER experiment with East Asian participants and compared the results with the FERPlus dataset, evaluated by Western raters. Читать дальше...

Integrating information from historical data into mechanistic models for influenza forecasting

Plos.org 

by Alessio Andronico, Juliette Paireau, Simon Cauchemez

Seasonal influenza causes significant annual morbidity and mortality worldwide. In France, it is estimated that, on average, 2 million individuals consult their GP for influenza-like-illness (ILI) every year. Traditionally, mathematical models used for epidemic forecasting can either include parameters capturing the infection process (mechanistic or compartmental models) or rely on time series analysis approaches that do not make mechanistic...

Learning probability distributions of sensory inputs with Monte Carlo predictive coding

Plos.org 

by Gaspard Oliviers, Rafal Bogacz, Alexander Meulemans

It has been suggested that the brain employs probabilistic generative models to optimally interpret sensory information. This hypothesis has been formalised in distinct frameworks, focusing on explaining separate phenomena. On one hand, classic predictive coding theory proposed how the probabilistic models can be learned by networks of neurons employing local synaptic plasticity. On the other hand, neural sampling theories have demonstrated... Читать дальше...
