Optimizing dance motion reconstruction using a two-dimensional matrix approach with hybrid genetic and fuzzy logic differential evolution by Lin Wang, Yutong Liu, Yucong Geng, Mohammad Khishe

“…We develop the Two-Dimensional Matrix-Calculation (TDMC) model, combined with the Hybrid Genetic Algorithm with Fuzzy Logic Differential Evolution (HGA-FLDE), which aims to optimize the reconstruction of complex dance movements by leveraging Riemannian geometry and adaptive optimization for biomechanical nonlinear motion patterns and missing joint data. Furthermore, accuracy is achieved through other approaches, such as the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Kinect Sensors (KS), and Evolved Deep Gated Recurrent Unit (EDGRU) models, which were all thoroughly tested against one another. …”

Pitfalls in the diagnosis of apparent homozygous mutations: two cases of IL10RA deficiency inflammatory bowel disease and a literature review by Xiu Shi, Ziqing Ye, Lai Qian, Wenhui Hu, Ye Yang, Chunmeng He, Zhiheng Huang, Bingbing Wu, Ying Huang

“…Abstract Background In East Asia, IL10RA is the predominant pathogenic gene in patients with very early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD), frequently characterised by refractory diarrhoea and severe perianal disease, resulting in elevated death rates. IL10RA-deficient IBD, an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, has been documented to be inherited through the conventional compound heterozygous or homozygous mutation patterns from both parents. …”
