Picture fuzzy set is the most widely used tool to handle uncertainty with account of three membership degrees, namely, positive, negative, and neutral such that their sum bound up 1. It generalization existing intuitionistic sets. This paper studies interval probability problems picture sets belief structure. The function a vital represent uncertain information in more effective manner. On othe...

Sparse Neural Networks (NNs) can match the generalization of dense NNs using a fraction compute/storage for inference, and have potential to enable efficient training. However, naively training unstructured sparse from random initialization results in significantly worse generalization, with notable exceptions Lottery Tickets (LTs) Dynamic Training (DST). In this work, we attempt answer: (1) wh...

Drawing on the dual-systems theory (DST), this study proposes a research model that focuses how characteristics of key opinion leader influence consumers’ purchase intention in live streaming commerce (LSC). We collected data through questionnaire surveys from samples consumers China (N = 467), which indicated leader’s (i.e., attractiveness, trustworthiness, expertise) are all positively relate...

BACKGROUND Recent research has indicated that transitions into and out of daylight saving time (DST) unbalance the physiological circadian rhythm and may lead to sleep disturbance. Sleep deprivation may have negative effects on motivation, attention and alertness and thus it is possible that transitions into and out of DST may increase accident rates. AIMS To explore the impact of DST transit...

Many cancers harbor homozygous DNA deletions (HDs). In contrast to other attributes of cancer cells, their HDs are immutable features that cannot change during tumor progression or therapy. I describe an approach, termed deletion-specific targeting (DST), that employs HDs (not their effects on RNA/protein circuits, but deletions themselves) as the targets of cancer therapy. The DST strategy bri...

It is now well recognized that pre-transplant donor-specific blood transfusion (DST) has a beneficial effect on the survival of allografts. To determine the optimal interval between DST and transplantation, and to analyze the mechanisms of this effect, the survival of cardiac allografts to rats which received a single DST was examined. The cardiac allograft survival was found to be prolonged wh...

Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) generalizes Bayesian probability theory, offering useful additional information, but suffers from a much higher computational burden. A lot of work has been done to reduce the time complexity information fusion with Dempster's rule, which is pointwise multiplication two zeta transforms, and optimal general algorithms have found get complete definition these transfor...

With increasing incidence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), accurate drug susceptibility testing (DST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to first-line drugs has become crucial for proper patient management. We evaluated concordance of DST results for 70 M. tuberculosis isolates across two phenotypic and two molecular methods: BACTEC 460TB, MGIT 960 system, GenoType MTBDRplus and DNA seq...
