Some methods in the world university ranking institutions still have weaknesses. Among the university rankings, Webometrics focused on quantitative studies related to website and content phenomena and is considered easy to measure because it bases ranking criteria on university activities on the internet. On the webometrics, the percentage of weight on the criteria of excellence which is quite high (40 %), makes the university pay attention to achieving that score. The existing method in weighting the criteria using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) needs to include =n(n-1)/2 questions for each group of n-criteria paired comparisons. In this study, the Consistent Fuzzy Preference Relation (CFPR) method is used to study the factors/criteria to determine what strategy universities will take to improve the webometrics ranking in terms of excellence. The CFPR techniques are used to reduce expert assessment steps to only as much as n-1 to ensure consistency at the level with n criteria. Based on the calculation results, it can be concluded that the strategy for improving the excellence score is prioritized on three main criteria in sequence, namely improving scholarly rank (A), measuring the number of scientific papers (B), recognizing scholarly ranks (C). The weight of each criterion in the sequence is 0.51, 0.32, and 0.17. Some strategies to increase the excellence score based on the main priority of sub-criteria and sub-sub criteria are explained in this study.

After designing a simulation and running it locally on a small network instance, the implementation can be scaled-up via parallel and distributed computing (e.g., a cluster) to cope with massive networks. However, implementation changes can create errors (e.g., parallelism errors), which are difficult to identify since the aggregate behavior of an incorrect implementation of a stochastic network simulation can fall within the distributions expected from correct implementations. In this paper, we propose the first approach that applies machine learning to traces of network simulations to detect errors. Our technique transforms simulation traces into images by reordering the network's adjacency matrix, and then training supervised machine learning models. Our evaluation on three simulation models shows that we can easily detect previously encountered types of errors and even confidently detect new errors. This work opens up numerous opportunities by examining other simulation models, representations (i.e., matrix reordering algorithms), or machine learning techniques.

The use of collected data is a valuable source for analysis that benefits both medical research and practice. Information privacy is considered a significant challenge that hinders using such information for research purposes. In terms of research, releasing patients’ information for research purposes may lead to privacy breaches for patients in various cases. Individual patients may not wish to be identifiable when using information about their health for research. This work proposes a utility-aware data anonymization model for sharing patients’ health information for research purposes in a privacy-preserving manner. The proposed model is interactive and involves a number of operations that are performed on patients’ information before releasing it for research purposes according to certain requirements specified by the data user (researcher).

Fuel utilization and emission estimation are essential for assessing the consequence of materials and strict emission control measures due to the startling rate of weather changes. The world's socioeconomic issues are significantly impacted by the growing worldwide average temperature and its effects on climate change. The melting of the polar ice caps, that is a direct result of this rise, leads to a number of other problems, such as the polar animal’s death, coastal flooding, and exposure to bacteria and earliest microorganisms that are frozen in the snow and could cause many more global pandemics and invisible illnesses. In this paper, Enhanced Prediction of Fuel Consumption and Carbon Emissions in Light-Duty Vehicles using Dynamic Graph Convolutional Recurrent Imputation Network (EP-FCCE-DGCRIN) are proposed.. The effectiveness of the EP-FCCE-DGCRIN technique is compared to other existing methods. This research offers evidence-based suggestions to lessen the environmental effects of vehicles for both manufacturers and consumers depending upon the outcomes of the Descriptive Statistics analysis.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is biggest preventable cause of early deaths, and hence one of the global preferences of World Health Organization for determent. PAH also induces the vast majority of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Both PAH and CKD are inherently connected, but the common molecular pathways and genes of these two disorders have not yet been demonstrated. In this study, we aimed to determine the similar molecular pathways and therapeutic hub proteins in PAH and CKD that may be used to anticipate the progression of the disease. We used Limma package to conduct differential analysis of gene transcripts of PAH and CKD obtained from the Gene Expression repository. The functional annotations of the genes were determined with the use of pathway analysis. Then proteinâprotein interaction (PPI) networks were constructed to determine the hub proteins, and a clustering technique was applied to determine the most significant PPI elements. We separately evaluated the PAH and CKD gene expression-based datasets and discovered 30 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) shared by both PAH and CKD. The pathways of KEGG revealed that the most prevalent DEGs are associated with the Malaria and African trypanosomiasis. Gene ontology (GO), TF and miRNA analysis and module investigation is treated the forthcoming work of this study. Finally, various drug compounds have been suggested based on the concordant DEGs.

Lung cancer (LC), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are the most fatal disorders in the globe, generating frequent human issues. Having IPF and COPD are the risk factors of the LC, but the molecular mechanisms that underlie among IPF, COPD, and LC are not yet elucidated. In this study, we looked for shared molecular indicators and pathways that might explain how individuals with IPF, COPD, and LC are related to one another. GSE24206, GSE76925 and GSE18842 microarray datasets are utilized for IPF, COPD and LC samples. The preprocessing of datasets has done using R language, and then concordant differentially expressed genes (DEGs) are discovered. After that the protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are built using the similar DEGs, and the hub genes are determined using topological analysis. ETS1, MSH2, SORD, RORA and NEDD9 are the PPI network’s top 5 hub genes. The pathways of KEGG demonstrated that the concordant DEGs are related to the colorectal cancer and pathways in cancer. Future work for this project will focus on miRNA, TF, and gene ontology (GO) analyses, as well as module analysis networks. Finally, based on the concordant DEGs, a number of potential medications have been suggested.

As adverse drug reactions (ADRs) can cause serious consequences to medication treatment, identifying and predicting adverse drug reactions (ADRs) play a crucial role in drug effects and drug use safety. In this paper, we reviewed existing machine learning methods in ADR prediction and proposed a neural collaborative filtering model (NCF) for the prediction of monopharmacy ADRs. NCF is based on dimension reduction by matrix factorization (MF) and combined with an MLP model to enhance prediction performance by handling complex non-linear relationships using MLN. Our NCF model optimizes the MF model by replacing dot product in the MF model with MLP, integrating drug and ADR embeddings from monopharmacy ADR benchmark data and drug-related chemical, physical and biological descriptors in a two-layer deep neural network. The model was tested by using 10-fold cross-validation. On 10-fold cross-validation, the resulting AUC, AUPR, and running time indicated a better performance and higher efficiency on drug-ADR prediction achieved by applying our NCF model.
