Validation of tRNA-derived fragments as diagnostic biomarkers in suspected acute stroke; limitations in analysis and quantification methods by Tamar Woudenberg, M. Leontien van der Bent, Daphne A.L. van den Homberg, T. Truc My Nguyen, Marieke J.H. Wermer, Ido R. van den Wijngaard, Paul H.A. Quax, A. Yaël Nossent, Nyika D. Kruyt

“…Out of 12 measured tRFs, only the fragments ArgTCG53–67 and TyrGTA1–19 showed a trend for differential expression between stroke subtypes, but with insufficient predictive value to be of use in clinical practice. Combining expression data of specific tRFs into a joint model did not improve the predictive ability. …”

Аdaptive combined image coding with prediction of arithmetic code volume by B J.S Sadiq, V. Yu. Tsviatkou, М. N. Bobov

“…To adapt the structure of the combined encoder to the distribution of bits in the bit planes of DPCM pixel values, the article proposes to use prediction of the volume of arithmetic code based on entropy and comparison of the obtained predicted value with the volume of run length code. The entropy is calculated based on the values of the number of repetitions of ones and zero symbols, which are obtained as intermediate results of the run length encoding. …”
