Article Abstract

The images on a dot-matrix hologram contain many two-dimensional (2D) dots with different grating orientations and different grating pitches. Because the zeroth-order light nondiffracted by different grating structures has the same progress direction, the nondiffracted light can be diffracted to a 2D spot spectrum by the 2D dot structure. The 2D spot spectrum depends on grating depths and dot sizes. Although ordinary noises are troublesome for 2D spots, noises caused by special dot arrangement defects or special grating moiré fringes are useful in checking holograms. Since the features of grating depths, dot sizes, dot arrangement defects, and grating moiré fringes can be randomly changed on a case by case basis, 2D spot spectra in different cases are different. The aforementioned random features are used to identify dot-matrix holograms.

Background: Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) represent a major diagnostic challenge in the interpretation of genetic testing results, particularly in the context of inborn errors of immunity such as severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). The inconsistency among computational prediction tools often necessitates expensive and time-consuming wet-lab analyses.

Objective: This study aimed to develop disease-specific, multi-class machine learning models using in silico scores to classify SCID-associated genetic variants and improve the interpretation of VUS.

Background: Hikikomori, characterized by prolonged social withdrawal and isolation, is often comorbid with psychiatric conditions including depression and anxiety. While cross-sectional studies consistently link hikikomori with depressive symptoms, the directionality of this relationship remains unclear because longitudinal evidence is lacking.

Objective: This study examined the longitudinal association between depressive symptoms and hikikomori behavioral tendencies, focusing on both the topography (observable features) and functions of hikikomori behaviors, as conceptualized in operant conditioning theory.
