Article Abstract
Motivation: The transition from evaluating a single time point to examining the entire dynamic evolution of a system is possible only in the presence of the proper framework. The strong variability of dynamic evolution makes the definition of an explanatory procedure for data fitting and clustering challenging.
Results: We developed CONNECTOR, a data-driven framework able to analyze and inspect longitudinal data in a straightforward and revealing way. When used to analyze tumor growth kinetics over time in 1599 patient-derived xenograft growth curves from ovarian and colorectal cancers, CONNECTOR allowed the aggregation of time-series data through an unsupervised approach in informative clusters. We give a new perspective of mechanism interpretation, specifically, we define novel model aggregations and we identify unanticipated molecular associations with response to clinically approved therapies.
Availability And Implementation: CONNECTOR is freely available under GNU GPL license at https://qbioturin.github.io/connector and https://doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.8epv56e74g1b/v1.

EpilepsyFM: A domain-specific foundation model for epileptic representation learning using EEG signals.

School of Automation, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, 710072, Shaanxi, China. Electronic address:
Epilepsy with its complex seizure mechanisms and diverse clinical manifestations, presents numerous challenges for clinical diagnosis and treatment, while electroencephalography (EEG) plays a crucial and irreplaceable role in its diagnosis. Although general-purpose foundation models have demonstrated some capability in knowledge processing, they still face challenges in capturing specific disease features and dealing with data scarcity in highly specialized domains such as epilepsy. To address these issues, we propose a domain-specific foundation model for epilepsy-EpilepsyFM, designed to learn generalized representations of epilepsy to support various downstream tasks.

Background: Spatial emanators (SE) are innovative tools for controlling indoor Aedes aegypti due to their relatively easy use and high efficacy. Large-scale implementation challenges include community adoption, particularly ensuring proper installation and timely replacement as SE efficacy wanes.
Methodology And Principal Findings: We conducted a three-arm, open-label entomological cluster randomized controlled trial with a crossover design, involving 588 households, to assess the entomological effect of the community use of metofluthrin emanators.
Improved modeling of battery electrolytes: betting on model fitting or quantum effects?

The accurate modeling of solvent dynamics and ionic interactions is of crucial importance for the development of novel electrolytes in next-generation metal-ion batteries. This study presents a critical evaluation of the semi-classical computational approach, the adaptive quantum thermal bath (adQTB) method, as a methodology for capturing the key properties of glyme-based solvents and their Ca-based electrolyte solutions. Simulations reveal that the adQTB method is particularly effective in accurately reproducing vibrational spectra, while offering good transferability across systems and conditions without requiring empirical parameter adjustments.

This report presents the findings of a secondary analysis of the data from an RCT designed to compare salivary fluoride levels during 3 weeks of using 5000 or 1450-ppm fluoride toothpaste (n = 24/group). Following this trial phase, salivary fluoride monitoring continued for 2 weeks during which all 48 participants used 1450-ppm fluoride toothpaste in a wash-out phase. We investigated the temporal variability and longitudinal growth-based trajectories of salivary fluoride levels across study arms.
