Quantifying the Nonlinear Dynamic Behavior of the DC-DC Converter via Permutation Entropy

Energies, 2018
Quantifying nonlinear dynamic behaviors, such as bifurcation and chaos, in nonlinear systems are currently being investigated. In this paper, permutation entropy is used to characterize these complex phenomena in nonlinear direct current-direct current ...

Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Degradation State Identification of Cracked Ultrasonic Motor by Means of Fault Feature Extraction Method

Shock and Vibration, 2019
The cracking of piezoelectric ceramics is the main reason of failure of an ultrasonic motor. Since the fault information is too weak to reflect the condition of piezoelectric ceramics especially in the early degradation stage, a fault feature extraction ...

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Monitoring Autonomic and Central Nervous System Activity by Permutation Entropy during Short Sojourn in Antarctica

Entropy, 2019
The aim of this study was to monitor acute response patterns of autonomic and central nervous system activity during an encounter with Antarctica by synchronously recording heart rate variability (HRV) and electroencephalography (EEG). On three different

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Theory and Practice of Permutation Entropy [PDF]

Proceedings of 4th International Electronic Conference on Entropy and Its Applications, 2017
Permutation entropy is a relatively new promising concept for measuring complexity of time series and of the systems behind with applications in various fields. The idea of permutation entropy it is to quantify the amount of up and down in a time series on the base of considering the distribution of ordinal patterns in it.

Prediction of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins Using Machine Learning Based on Low Complexity Methods

Algorithms, 2022
Prediction of intrinsic disordered proteins is a hot area in the field of bio-information. Due to the high cost of evaluating the disordered regions of protein sequences using experimental methods, we used a low-complexity prediction scheme.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
