E-VOTING SYSTEMS: A TOOL FOR E-DEMOCRACY [PDF]

Using electronic voting systems is divisive as some countries used such systems and others did not. Electronic voting (e-voting) is relatively a new concept based on its application that aims at reducing errors and improving the convenience and integrity

Deep Learning‐Driven Discovery and Engineering of an Efficient PETase for Depolymerization and Detoxification of PET Microplastics Under Physiological Conditions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A deep learning–driven pipeline mining 246 million protein sequences uncovers AhPETase, an evolutionarily distinct PET hydrolase. Engineered variant AhPETaseM1 degrades post‐consumer PET microplastics under physiological conditions and reverses microplasticinduced cytotoxicity in human lung and colon cells, establishing enzymatic microplastic ...

NICE: A Two‐Step Non‐Invasive Framework for Embryo cfDNA Read Enrichment and Quality Assessment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The non‐invasive NICE framework, built on an ensemble stacking machine learning model, prioritizes embryos by analyzing cell‐free DNA from spent culture medium. By integrating multimodal signals, including genomic and epigenetic profiles, this automated approach standardizes morphological assessment without human bias, paving the way for more precise ...

Fast Schulze Voting Using Quickselect

Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications
The Schulze voting method aggregates voter preference data using maxmin-weight graph paths, achieving the Condorcet property that a candidate who would win every head-to-head contest will also win the overall election. Once the voter preferences among $m$ candidates have been arranged into an $m\times m$ matrix of pairwise election outcomes, a previous

Strategic voting and nomination [PDF]

Using computer simulations based on three separate data generating processes, I estimate the fraction of elections in which sincere voting will be a core equilibrium given each of eight single-winner voting rules. Additionally, I determine how often each

Decoupling Fabrication From Encoding: DNA‐Addressable Template Microparticles for Large, User‐Defined Optical Barcode Libraries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A universal hydrogel microparticle template with five DNA‐addressable domains decouples particle fabrication from barcode writing. Contact‐free multilaminar flow lithography produces >106 templates/h, and post‐fabrication domain‐selective hybridization converts one batch into large, user‐defined optical barcode libraries with robust decoding and re ...

Palmprint Verification Using SIFT Majority Voting

, 2011
In this paper we illustrate the implementation of a robust, real-time biometric system for identity verification based on palmprint images. The palmprint images are preprocessed to align the major axes of hand shapes and to extract the palm region. We extract features using Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT).

MethyAnno: An Interpretable Automated Annotation Method Leveraging Multi‐Scale Information and Metric Learning Framework for scDNAm Data

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MethyAnno enables robust and interpretable annotation of single‐cell DNA methylation data by integrating multi‐scale epigenetic information, bidirectional cross‐attention, and prototype‐based metric learning. The framework resolves rare and novel cell types across datasets while revealing cell‐type‐specific epigenetic signatures associated with disease
