Striking the Balance: Evaluating Content Quality and Reward Dynamics in Blockchain Online Social Media by Davide Mancino, Barbara Guidi, Andrea Michienzi, Marco Viviani

“…The performed evaluation shows the effectiveness of some of these configurations in identifying reward-worthy content, demonstrates that current reward systems are indeed unable through their mechanisms to promote actual quality content, and suggests the need for the development of further reward strategies allowing for better reward distribution and, ultimately, help pursue the original purpose of reward systems.…”

Predicting species distributions in the open ocean with convolutional neural networks by Morand, Gaétan, Joly, Alexis, Rouyer, Tristan, Lorieul, Titouan, Barde, Julien

“…As biodiversity plummets due to anthropogenic disturbances, the conservation of oceanic species is made harder by limited knowledge of their distributions and migrations. Indeed, tracking species distributions in the open ocean is particularly challenging due to the scarcity of observations and the complex and variable nature of the ocean system. …”

Endophytic fungi related to the ash dieback causal agent encode signatures of pathogenicity on European ash by Maryam Rafiqi, Chatchai Kosawang, Jessica A. Peers, Lukas Jelonek, Hélène Yvanne, Mark McMullan, Lene R. Nielsen

“…Amongst shared secreted proteins are cell death-inducing effector candidates, such as necrosis, and ethylene-inducing peptide 1-like proteins, Nep1-like proteins, that are upregulated during in planta growth of all Hymenoscyphus species. Indeed, pathogenicity tests showed that all four related Hymenoscyphus species develop pathogenic growth on European ash stems, with native H. albidus being the least virulent. …”

Towards Reliable Participation in UAV-Enabled Federated Edge Learning on Non-IID Data by Youssra Cheriguene, Wael Jaafar, Halim Yanikomeroglu, Chaker Abdelaziz Kerrache

“…However, most existing client selection schemes neglected the participants' reliability. Indeed, FL can be targeted by poisoning attacks, in which malicious UAVs upload poisonous local models to the FL server, by either providing targeted false predictions for specifically chosen inputs or by compromising the global model's accuracy through tampering with the local model. …”

First African case report of hypoparathyroidism, deafness and renal dysplasia (HDR) syndrome due to inverted duplication and deletion of chromosome 10p by Tumelo M. Satekge, Glenrose Rikhotso, Bianca Rossouw, Bronwyn Dillon, Fiona Baine-Savanhu

“…Conclusion This case emphasizes that complex patients with developmental delay and multiple congenital anomalies are likely to benefit from evaluation by CMA. Indeed, this approach still has an important role to play, particularly in inadequately resourced settings such as in Africa, for the investigation of patients with complex genetic disorders associated with significant chromosome aberrations.…”

Point Mutations in the folP Gene Partly Explain Sulfonamide Resistance of Streptococcus mutans by W. Buwembo, S. Aery, C. M. Rwenyonyi, G. Swedberg, F. Kironde

“…Interestingly, cloned folP with three mutations (A37V, N172D, R193Q) derived from Streptococcus mutans 8 conferred substantial resistance against sulfonamide to folP-deficient bacteria. Indeed, change of any of the three residues (A37V, N172D, and R193Q) in plasmid-encoded folP diminished the bacterial resistance to sulfonamide while removal of all three mutations abolished the resistance. …”
