Abstract: Exploratory Landscape Analysis characterizes fitness landscapes of various optimization problems to categorize them and reveal relationships with different metaheuristic algorithms. It uses ...

ABSTRACT: This article has two objectives. The first is to develop an R script that performs Mardia’s K2 test for assessing multivariate normality (MVN), using both its original asymptotic formulation ...

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an ongoing threat to global health. Wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) has proven to be an important tool for tracking the ...

Previous studies have established a relationship between duodenal mucosa-associated microbiota and overall health. However, sampling duodenal microbiota is technically challenging. Mucosal biopsies ...

There are many methods available to fit random-effects meta-analysis. However, until 2024, the only option available in RevMan has been the DerSimonian and Laird random-effects method. This method is ...

Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) have gained great attention in adversarial purification. Current diffusion-based works focus on designing effective condition-guided mechanisms while ...

Scientists from the Institute of Analytical Chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences and Masaryk University recently tested various saliva sampling methods to optimize bile acid analysis. Scientists ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a new perspective on the relationship between the sampling and aliasing. Unlike the uniform sampling case, where the aliases are simply periodic replicas of the original ...
