Acid digestion and symbiont: Proton sharing at the origin of mitochondriogenesis?

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
ADMit hypothesis for the origin of eukaryotes. A bacterial symbiont became associated with a protophagocytic host that captured prey with membrane processes. The symbiont cooperated to kill and digest the prey with reactive oxygen species and the acidification of the microenvironment.

Do Bayesian Neural Networks Improve Weapon System Predictive Maintenance? [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
We implement a Bayesian inference process for Neural Networks to model the time to failure of highly reliable weapon systems with interval-censored data and time-varying covariates. We analyze and benchmark our approach, LaplaceNN, on synthetic and real datasets with standard classification metrics such as Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Area ...
