Through this paper, a three-dimensional molecular communication (MC) inside a cuboid container is considered. Instead of normal diffusion phenomenon, the anomalous diffusion phenomenon is incorporated which enhances the practicability of the model. The Fick's law is re-defined for the considering rectangular coordinate system in which information carrying molecules (ICMs) diffuse anomalously in the environment. The impact of flow of the fluid along the +x direction in the environment is also considered. Moreover, considering free propagator phenomenon, the expressions of spatio-temporal probability density function (PDF) of the ICMs is derived for the considered model. Further, the novel closed-form expressions for first arrival time density (FATD) of the ICM, survival probability (SP) at any time, and its corresponding first arrival probability (FAP) are also derived. Furthermore, the considered MC model is also analyzed in terms of minimum bit-error-rate (BER) using log-likelihood ratio test (LLRT) optimal detector. The derived expressions are verified using MATLAB based particle-based and Monte-Carlo simulations.

The analysis and comprehension of multi-omics data has emerged as a prominent topic in the field of bioinformatics and data science. However, the sparsity characteristics and high dimensionality of omics data pose difficulties in terms of extracting meaningful information. Moreover, the heterogeneity inherent in multiple omics sources makes the effective integration of multi-omics data challenging To tackle these challenges, we propose MFCC-SAtt, a multi-level feature contrast clustering model based on self-attention to extract informative features from multi-omics data. MFCC-SAtt treats each omics type as a distinct modality and employs autoencoders with self-attention for each modality to integrate and compress their respective features into a shared feature space. By utilizing a multi-level feature extraction framework along with incorporating a semantic information extractor, we mitigate optimization conflicts arising from different learning objectives. Additionally, MFCC-SAtt guides deep clustering based on multi-level features which further enhances the quality of output labels. By conducting extensive experiments on multi-omics data, we have validated the exceptional performance of MFCC-SAtt. For instance, in a pan-cancer clustering task, MFCC-SAtt achieved an accuracy of over 80.38%.

This paper presents a terahertz metasurface based sensor design incorporating graphene and other plasmonic materials for highly sensitive detection of different chemicals. The proposed sensor employs the combination of multiple resonator designs - including circular and square ring resonators - to attain enhanced sensitivity among other performance parameters. Machine learning techniques like Random Forest regression, are employed to enhance the sensor design and predict its performance. The optimized sensor demonstrates excellent sensitivity of 417 GHzRIU-1 and a low detection limit of 0.264 RIU for ethanol and benzene detection. Furthermore, the integration of machine learning cuts down the simulation time and computational requirements by approximately 90% without compromising accuracy. The sensor's unique design and performance characteristics, including its high-quality factor of 14.476, position it as a promising candidate for environmental monitoring and chemical sensing applications. Moreover, it also demonstrates potential for 2-bit encoding applications through strategic modulation of graphene chemical potential values. On the other hand, it also shows prospects of 2-bit encoding applications via the modulation of graphene chemical. This work provides a major advancement to the terahertz sensing application by proposing new materials, structures, and methods in computation in order to develop a high-performance chemical sensor.

Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a crucial role in gene regulation and association with diseases because of their unique closed continuous loop structure, which is more stable and conserved than ordinary linear RNAs. As fundamental work to clarify their functions, a large number of computational approaches for identifying circRNA formation have been proposed. However, these methods fail to fully utilize the important characteristics of back-splicing events, i.e., the positional information of the splice sites and the interaction features of its flanking sequences, for predicting circRNAs. To this end, we hereby propose a novel approach called SIDE for predicting circRNA back-splicing events using only raw RNA sequences. Technically, SIDE employs a dual encoder to capture global and interactive features of the RNA sequence, and then a decoder designed by the contrastive learning to fuse out discriminative features improving the prediction of circRNAs formation. Empirical results on three real-world datasets show the effectiveness of SIDE. Further analysis also reveals that the effectiveness of SIDE.
环状 RNA(circRNA)因其独特的闭合连续环状结构而在基因调控和疾病相关方面发挥着至关重要的作用,这种结构比普通线性 RNA 更稳定、更保守。作为阐明其功能的基础性工作,人们提出了大量识别 circRNA 形成的计算方法。然而,这些方法未能充分利用反向剪接事件的重要特征,即剪接位点的位置信息及其侧翼序列的相互作用特征来预测 circRNA。为此,我们提出了一种名为 SIDE 的新方法,仅利用原始 RNA 序列预测 circRNA 的反向剪接事件。在技术上,SIDE 采用双重编码器捕捉 RNA 序列的全局和交互特征,然后通过对比学习设计解码器,融合出辨别特征,从而提高 circRNA 形成的预测能力。在三个真实世界数据集上的实证结果表明了 SIDE 的有效性。进一步的分析还显示了 SIDE 的有效性。

Computational synthetic lethality (SL) method has become a promising strategy to identify SL gene pairs for targeted cancer therapy and cancer medicine development. Feature representation for integrating various biological networks is crutial to improve the identification performance. However, previous feature representation, such as matrix factorization and graph neural network, projects gene features onto latent variables by keeping a specific geometric metric. There is a lack of models of gene representational latent space with considerating multiple dimentionalities correlation and preserving latent geometric structures in both sample and feature spaces. Therefore, we propose a novel method to model gene Latent Space using matrix Tri-Factorization (LSTF) to obtain gene representation with embedding variables resulting from the potential interpretation of synthetic lethality. Meanwhile, manifold subspace regularization is applied to the tri-factorization to capture the geometrical manifold structure in the latent space with gene PPI functional and GO semantic embeddings. Then, SL gene pairs are identified by the reconstruction of the associations with gene representations in the latent space. The experimental results illustrate that LSTF is superior to other state-of-the-art methods. Case study demonstrate the effectiveness of the predicted SL associations.
计算合成致死率(SL)方法已成为为癌症靶向治疗和癌症药物开发识别SL基因对的一种有前途的策略。整合各种生物网络的特征表示对于提高识别性能至关重要。然而,以往的特征表示方法,如矩阵因式分解和图神经网络,都是通过保持特定的几何度量将基因特征投射到潜在变量上。目前还缺乏同时考虑多维度相关性和保留样本空间与特征空间中潜在几何结构的基因表征潜在空间模型。因此,我们提出了一种利用矩阵三因子化(LSTF)对基因潜空间进行建模的新方法,以获得具有合成致死率潜在解释所产生的嵌入变量的基因表征。同时,将流形子空间正则化应用于三因子化,以捕捉潜空间中带有基因 PPI 功能嵌入和 GO 语义嵌入的几何流形结构。然后,通过重建潜空间中与基因表征的关联来识别 SL 基因对。实验结果表明,LSTF 优于其他最先进的方法。案例研究证明了预测 SL 关联的有效性。

Detecting side effects of drugs is a fundamental task in drug development. With the expansion of publicly available biomedical data, researchers have proposed many computational methods for predicting drug-side effect associations (DSAs), among which network-based methods attract wide attention in the biomedical field. However, the problem of data scarcity poses a great challenge for existing DSAs prediction models. Although several data augmentation methods have been proposed to address this issue, most of existing methods employ a random way to manipulate the original networks, which ignores the causality of existence of DSAs, leading to the poor performance on the task of DSAs prediction. In this paper, we propose a counterfactual inference-based data augmentation method for improving the performance of the task. First, we construct a heterogeneous information network (HIN) by integrating multiple biomedical data. Based on the community detection on the HIN, a counterfactual inference-based method is designed to derive augmented links, and an augmented HIN is obtained accordingly. Then, a meta-path-based graph neural network is applied to learn high-quality representations of drugs and side effects, on which the predicted DSAs are obtained. Finally, comprehensive experiments are conducted, and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed counterfactual inference-based data augmentation for the task of DSAs prediction.
