Cancer classification through gene expression data analysis has emerged as an active area of research recently. Gene expression is the process of transcribing a gene's DNA sequence into RNA. A gene's expression level indicates the approximate number of copies of that gene's RNA produced in a cell. This is thought to correlate with the amount of the corresponding protein made. The expression of a gene provides a measure of activity of a gene under certain biochemical conditions. For example, cancers are usually reflected in the change of the expression values of certain genes. Recent studies on molecular level classification of tissues have produced remarkable results, and indicated that gene expression assays could significantly aid in the development of efficient cancer diagnosis and classification platforms. However, cancer classification based on the DNA array data is still a difficult problem. The main challenge is the overwhelming number of genes relative to the number of training samples. This implies that we must deal with a huge number of irrelevant genes. An efficient algorithm is required to reduce the computational overhead. The other challenge is from the presence of noise inherent in the data set. It makes accurate classification of data more difficult when the sample size is small. This paper applies genetic algorithms (GA) for selecting a group of relevant genes from cancer microarray data. Then the decision tree based cancer classifier is built on top of these selected genes. The performance of this approach is evaluated by comparing with other gene selection methods (e.g., t-statistics, GS method, and information gain) using the publicly available gene expression data set such as Colon, Leukemia, Lymphoma, Lung and central nervous system (CNS). Experimental results indicate that the cascade of GA and decision tree has the highest accuracy rate among different methods.

A closed-loop scheme of a high-gain serial-parallel-switched-capacitor coupled-inductor (SPSCCI) boost DC-AC inverter is proposed by combining a two-phase generator and sinusoidal pulse-width-modulation (SPWM) controller for low-power step-up DC-AC conversion and regulation. In this inverter, the power part is composed of SPSCCI booster and half-bridge DC-link. This booster is a 4-stage SC circuit plus combining a coupled-inductor, and it raises the voltage gain up to [4(n+1)+(1+nD)/(1-D)] at most via two-phase operation, where D is the duty cycle and n is the turn ratio of coupled-inductor. The DC-link is a half-bridge circuit in order to convert the DC voltage into AC via SPWM control for realizing the range of sinusoidal output: +0.5[4(n+1)+(1+nD)/(1-D)]VS~ -0.5[4(n+1)+(1+nD)/(1-D)]VS. Practically, the maximum output voltage can reach 26.0 times voltage of source VS while D=0.5, n=4. Here, the SPWM is employed to enhance regulation capability for the different output amplitude and frequency, as well as robustness to source/loading variation. Finally, the closed-loop SPSCCI inverter is designed and simulated by SPICE for some cases: steady-state and dynamic responses. All results are illustrated to show the efficacy of the proposed scheme.

A closed-loop scheme of a high-gain multiphase switched-capacitor coupled-inductor (MSCCI) converter is proposed by combining a phase generator and pulse-width-modulation-based (PWM-based) gain compensator for step-up DC-DC conversion and regulation. The power part between source VS and output VO contains a three-stage serial-parallel switched-capacitor (SC) circuit plus a coupled-inductor device, and it raises the voltage gain up to 4[(n+1)+(1+nD)/(1-D)] at most, where D means the duty cycle of PWM and n is trun ratio of coupled inductor. Practically, this MSCCI can boost the voltage gain up to 44 when D=0.5, n=4. Further, the PWM technique is adopted not only to enhance the output regulation for the compensation of the dynamic error between the practical and desired outputs, but also to reinforce output robustness against source or loading variation. Finally, the closed-loop MSCCI is designed by SPICE and simulated for some cases: steady-state and dynamic responses. All results are illustrated to show the efficacy of the proposed scheme.

Snakebite antivenom (SAV) is the standard treatment option to neutralize the toxic effects of snake venom, but their consequences on kidney function need to be better understood. This study aims to evaluate the effects of antivenom on kidney and endothelial biomarkers due to Bothrops venom in two subgroups of patients distinguished by the presence of hemorrhagic syndrome at admission. This prospective study included 34 snakebite patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in Northeast Brazil between August 2019 and November 2020, 50 % of whom experienced spontaneous bleeding. Endothelial and kidney damage biomarkers were analyzed at three time points: before antivenom infusion and after 10 h and 20 h of antivenom infusion. Bleeding patients exhibited higher urine Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (uNGAL) and Kidney Injury Molecule-1 (KIM-1) levels, indicating incomplete renal recovery until 20h after antivenom. This group showed higher serum angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) levels and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1). VCAM-1 levels positively correlated with kidney biomarker levels at each time point, especially after SAV. uNGAL was variant across VCAM-1, Ang-1, and Ang-2 levels before antivenom. Elevated levels of uNGAL and KIM-1, observed 10 h after SAV administration, may indicate incomplete renal protection and a potential risk for the development of chronic kidney injury, requiring future follow-up.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of large number of sensor nodes with sensing, communication and computation capabilities. Sensor nodes have limited energy supply, bandwidth and computational capacity. Routing in sensor network differ based on the network architecture and the application in order to achieve high energy efficiency and better lifetime. In this paper, we have given the design issues of sensor network and also we classified the routing techniques into three main categories, flat, hierarchical and location based. We have described each routing techniques in appropriate category and presented a comparison of these routing techniques.
