Hadamard Product in Deep Learning: Introduction, Advances and Challenges.

While convolution and self-attention mechanisms have dominated architectural design in deep learning, this survey examines a fundamental yet understudied primitive: the Hadamard product. Despite its widespread implementation across various applications, the Hadamard product has not been systematically analyzed as a core architectural primitive. We present the first comprehensive taxonomy of its applications in deep learning, identifying four principal domains: higher-order correlation, multimodal data fusion, dynamic representation modulation, and efficient pairwise operations.

Right subaxillary small incision on low-age and low-weight infants with congenital heart disease.

Background: As a minimally invasive approach to treating congenital heart disease (CHD), the application of the right subaxillary small incision (RSSI) has been developing fast in its indication spectrum. However, RSSI's use is still quite challenging for the surgical treatment of the low-age and low-weight infant patient group.

Objectives: To investigate the safety and efficacy of performing RSSI surgery, treating CHD for infants with low-age and low-weight.

The performance of partially substituted composite ester materials with weathered red-bed soil in ecological restoration.

Ester materials have become a significant topic in ecological restoration because of their degradability and lack of pollution. However, these artificial materials have issues such as high resource consumption and high cost. Therefore, finding a scientific substitute for ester materials is crucial to reduce costs.

Exploring Causal Relationships between Leukocyte Telomere Length, Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin Levels, and Osteoporosis Using Univariable and Multivariable Mendelian Randomization.

Objective: Recent evidence supports that leukocyte telomere length (LTL) may be positively associated with healthy living and inversely correlated with the risk of age-related diseases, including osteoporosis. Furthermore, it is important to note that sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels play a crucial role in the regulation of osteoporosis by influencing the availability of sex hormones. Hence, this study holds significant importance as it aims to unravel the roles of LTL and SHBG levels and determine which one acts as a predominant intermediary factor in influencing osteoporosis.

Pod-Like Supramicelles with Multicompartment Hydrophobic Cores Prepared by Self-Assembly of Modified Chitosan.

In this paper, pod-like supramicelles with multicompartment hydrophobic cores were prepared by self-assembly of amphiphilic -phthaloylchitosan-g-poly(-vinylcaprolactam) (PHCS-g-PNVCL) in aqueous medium. The employed biocompatible amphiphilic polymer was synthesized by grafting the carboxyl terminated poly(-vinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL-COOH) chains onto -phthaloylchitosan (PHCS) backbone. H NMR and FTIR results confirmed the molecular structure of the copolymers.

Picropodophyllin inhibits the growth of Ewing's sarcoma cells through the insulin‑like growth factor‑1 receptor/Akt signaling pathway.

Ewing's sarcoma (ES) is the second most common type of pediatric bone tumor, and is associated with a poor prognosis. Picropodophyllin (PPP), a novel selective inhibitor of insulin‑like growth factor‑1 receptor (IGF‑1R), is able to strongly inhibit various types of cancers. However, the effect of IGF‑1R on ES remains unclear.
