Hybrid grading systems improve progression risk stratification in non‐invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma and support a histomorphological continuum of disease progression

Histopathology, EarlyView.
Hybrid grading systems significantly improve progression‐risk stratification in non‐invasive papillary urothelial carcinoma compared with the WHO 2004/2016 binary classification, with most benefit achieved by a Hybrid 3‐Tier framework. These findings support the existence of a histomorphological continuum of progression risk within the conventional ...

Using Effective State Representations and Search to Identify Interesting Safari Rush Hour Puzzle Instances

IEEE Access
Players find solving puzzle game instances engaging, but have no incentive to replay them once they are solved. Additionally, puzzle games often present vast search spaces that are impractical to explore exhaustively.

Polygenic Risk Modelling in Periodontitis: Insights From a Feasibility Study of 4243 European Cases and Current Limitations

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Genetic susceptibility plays a particularly important role in early‐onset (EO) and severe periodontitis (PD). The genetic risk remains largely unexplained because of limited sample sizes and heterogeneous phenotypes in genome‐wide association studies (GWAS).

Evaluating the Expressive Range of Super Mario Bros Level Generators

Algorithms
Procedural Content Generation for video games (PCG) is widely used by today’s video game industry to create huge open worlds or enhance replayability. However, there is little scientific evidence that these systems produce high-quality content.

Role of the tomato MARS1/ROUGH gene encoding a LYSINE‐SPECIFIC HISTONE DEMETHYLASE 1 in adventitious root and fruit skin formation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The tomato mars1/rough mutant displays enhanced root regeneration and rough fruits due to ectopic cell proliferation. The causal gene encodes a lysine‐specific histone demethylase that normally maintains gene silencing. Its loss alters histone methylation, upregulating several genes, including those B‐type cyclins involved in tissue‐specific cellular ...

Integrative revision of the Australian carrion‐breeding Calliphorinae (Diptera: Calliphoridae): Revision of the Calliphora stygia‐ and ochracea‐groups

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The Australian carrion‐breeding Calliphorinae are revised using an integrative approach combining morphology and mitogenomics. A new taxonomic key, morphological images and verified mitogenomic data, including COX1 barcodes, are provided to support the identification of species.

Procedural Content Generation: Goals, Challenges and Actionable Steps [PDF]

, 2013
This chapter discusses the challenges and opportunities of procedural content generation (PCG) in games. It starts with defining three grand goals of PCG, namely multi-level multicontent PCG, PCG-based game design and generating complete games.
