Abstract This nonrandomized, multicenter cohort, open-label clinical trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of combined chemotherapy with arsenic trioxide (ATO) in children with stage 4/M neuroblastoma (NB). We enrolled patients who were newly diagnosed with NB and assessed as stage 4/M and received either traditional chemotherapy or ATO combined with chemotherapy according to their own wishes. Twenty-two patients were enrolled in the trial group (ATO combined with chemotherapy), and 13 patients were enrolled in the control group (traditional chemotherapy). Objective response rate (ORR) at 4 weeks after completing induction chemotherapy was defined as the main outcome, and adverse events were monitored… More >

Abstract In this paper, a fractional order model based on the management of waste plastic in the ocean (FO-MWPO) is numerically investigated. The mathematical form of the FO-MWPO model is categorized into three components, waste plastic, Marine debris, and recycling. The stochastic numerical solvers using the Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation neural networks (LMQBP-NNs) have been applied to present the numerical solutions of the FO-MWPO system. The competency of the method is tested by taking three variants of the FO-MWPO model based on the fractional order derivatives. The data ratio is provided for training, testing and authorization is 77%, 12%, and 11% respectively. The… More >

Abstract This work aims to study the nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) system of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) past over an inclined plate using Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation neural networks (LMBNNs). The stochastic procedures LMBNNs are provided with three categories of sample statistics, testing, training, and verification. The nonlinear MHD system past over an inclined plate is divided into three profiles, dimensionless momentum, species (salinity), and energy (heat) conservations. The data is applied 15%, 10%, and 75% for validation, testing, and training to solve the nonlinear system of MHD past over an inclined plate. A reference data set is designed to compare the obtained and… More >

Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) has flourished in recent years, which brings convenience to people’s lives, improves the quality of life, allows more effectively managing and maximizing benefits in industry, and improves weather predictions as the impact of global warming has complicated traditional methods to infer the weather. To this end, agriculture has also given more attention to greenhouse cultivation. In the early days of industrial research, Wi-Fi and ZigBee were used as short-or medium-distance communication technologies for transmissions in the network layer of the IoT architecture. Instead of long-distance communication technologies, such as LoRa and NB-IoT, the features of… More >

Abstract In the present study, a design of a fractional order mathematical model is presented based on the schistosomiasis disease. To observe more accurate performances of the results, the use of fractional order derivatives in the mathematical model is introduce based on the schistosomiasis disease is executed. The preliminary design of the fractional order mathematical model focused on schistosomiasis disease is classified as follows: uninfected with schistosomiasis, infected with schistosomiasis, recovered from infection, susceptible snail unafflicted with schistosomiasis disease and susceptible snail afflicted with this disease. The solutions to the proposed system of the fractional order mathematical model will be presented… More >

Abstract The aim of these investigations is to find the numerical performances of the delay differential two-prey and one-predator system. The delay differential models are very significant and always difficult to solve the dynamical kind of ecological nonlinear two-prey and one-predator system. Therefore, a stochastic numerical paradigm based artificial neural network (ANN) along with the Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation (L-MB) neural networks (NNs), i.e., L-MBNNs is proposed to solve the dynamical two-prey and one-predator model. Three different cases based on the dynamical two-prey and one-predator system have been discussed to check the correctness of the L-MBNNs. The statistic measures of these outcomes of… More >

Abstract The NAC (NAM, ATAF, and CUC) superfamily is one of the largest plant-specific families containing transcription factors. An increasing number of studies suggest that NAC1 is involved in plants response to different biotic and abiotic stimulis. Nicotiana benthamiana is a widely used system for evaluating plant-pathogen interactions. In order to study the biochemical function of NbNAC1, NbNAC1 protein and antibody are essential. Therefore, we focused on developing a prokaryotic expression system for producing the Nicotiana benthamiana NbNAC1 protein of in Escherichia coli and the preparation of its polyclonal antibody. Firstly, we constructed two different molecular weight prokaryotic expression vectors: pGE… More >

Abstract Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provide a reliable and energy-efficient solution for data collection from the Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) devices. However, the UAV’s deployment optimization, including locations of the UAV’s stop points, is a necessity to minimize the energy consumption of the UAV and the NB-IoT devices and also to conduct the data collection efficiently. In this regard, this paper proposes Gaining-Sharing Knowledge (GSK) algorithm for optimizing the UAV’s deployment. In GSK, the number of UAV’s stop points in the three-dimensional space is encapsulated into a single individual with a fixed length representing an entire deployment. The superiority of… More >
