A gel polymer electrolyte system based on phthaloylchitosan was prepared. The effects of process variables, such as lithium iodide, caesium iodide, and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide were investigated using a distance-based ternary mixture experimental design. A comparative approach was made between response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) to predict the ionic conductivity. The predictive capabilities of the two methodologies were compared in terms of coefficient of determination ² based on the validation data set. It was shown that the developed ANN model had better predictive outcome as compared to the RSM model.

The fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is one of the main pests in apple orchards. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are tools with good ability to predict phenomena such as the seasonal dynamics of pest populations. Thus, the objective of this work was to determine a prediction model for the seasonal dynamics of A.

Loss-of-function variants in the lipid transporter ABCA7 substantially increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, yet how they impact cellular states to drive disease remains unclear. Here, using single-nucleus RNA-sequencing analysis of human brain samples, we identified widespread gene expression changes across multiple neural cell types associated with rare ABCA7 loss-of-function variants. Excitatory neurons, which expressed the highest levels of ABCA7, showed disrupted lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function, DNA repair and synaptic signalling pathways.

Humans frequently make decisions that impact close others. Prior research has shown that people have stable preferences regarding such decisions and maintain rich, nuanced mental representations of their close social partners. Yet, if and how such mental representations shape social decisions preferences remains to be seen.
