Using the Active Faults of Eurasia Database for solving tectonic problems by D. M. Bachmanov, E. A. Zelenin, A. I. Kozhurin, V. G. Trifonov

“…This new database contains more than 30000 objects that are geographically linked, equipped with attributes of the kinematic type, estimated movement rates and activity confidence ranks. As an exam‐ ple, we consider processing of the data on several tectonic regions of the Alpine‐Himalayan mobile belt and construction of rose‐diagrams of faults for a comparative analysis of their Late Cenozoic kinematics. …”

Subtle alteration in transcriptional memory governs the lineage-level cell cycle duration heterogeneities of mammalian cells by Kajal Charan, Sandip Kar

“…Herein, we perform a computational modeling study to demonstrate that correlated fluctuations of the inherited transcription rates during cell cycle progression and their random resetting in mitosis are sufficient to account for the experimentally observed cell cycle duration correlation patterns for cell lineage pairs. …”

Integrated Feature-Temporal GAN for Imbalanced Transaction Fraud Detection by Yicen Zheng, Yu Xie, Jiamin Yao

“…IFT-GAN introduces two key innovations: 1) A Feature-Aware Sample Selection (FASS) module that employs Fisher score-based feature ranking and weighted k-means clustering to create a balanced subset enriched with discriminative fraud signatures; and 2) A Temporal Dependency GAN (TD-GAN) architecture employing a novel Time-aware Gated Recurrent Unit (TaGRU) in both the generator and discriminator, explicitly modeling the temporal intervals between transactions through adaptive temporal gating. …”

Rapid radiations underlie most of the known diversity of life by John J. Wiens, Daniel S. Moen

“…Specifically, we quantify how much of Earth’s species richness is contained within rapid radiations (clades with high net diversification rates). We find that among the major clades of living organisms and among land plant phyla and animal phyla, >80% of known species richness is contained within the few clades in the upper 90th percentile for diversification rates in each group. …”
