TL;DR: The validity-guided VGC algorithm uses cluster-validity information to guide a fuzzy (re)clustering process toward better solutions, and VGC's performance approaches that of the (supervised) k-nearest-neighbors algorithm.
Abstract: When clustering algorithms are applied to image segmentation, the goal is to solve a classification problem. However, these algorithms do not directly optimize classification duality. As a result, they are susceptible to two problems: 1) the criterion they optimize may not be a good estimator of "true" classification quality, and 2) they often admit many (suboptimal) solutions. This paper introduces an algorithm that uses cluster validity to mitigate problems 1 and 2. The validity-guided (re)clustering (VGC) algorithm uses cluster-validity information to guide a fuzzy (re)clustering process toward better solutions. It starts with a partition generated by a soft or fuzzy clustering algorithm. Then it iteratively alters the partition by applying (novel) split-and-merge operations to the clusters. Partition modifications that result in improved partition validity are retained. VGC is tested on both synthetic and real-world data. For magnetic resonance image (MRI) segmentation, evaluations by radiologists show that VGC outperforms the (unsupervised) fuzzy c-means algorithm, and VGC's performance approaches that of the (supervised) k-nearest-neighbors algorithm.

TL;DR: Teplizumab delayed progression to clinical type 1 diabetes in high-risk participants and among the participants who were Hla-DR3-negative, HLA-DR4-positive, or anti-zinc transporter 8 antibody- negative, fewer participants in the teplizuab group than in the placebo group had diabetes diagnosed.
Abstract: Background Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease that leads to destruction of insulin-producing beta cells and dependence on exogenous insulin for survival. Some interventions ha...

TL;DR: A review of the current research of ZnO nanowires (or nanorods) with special focus on photocatalysis is presented in this article, where a variety of synthesis methods are discussed.
Abstract: ZnO nanowires (or nanorods) have been widely studied due to their unique material properties and remarkable performance in electronics, optics, and photonics. Recently, photocatalytic applications of ZnO nanowires are of increased interest in environmental protection applications. This paper presents a review of the current research of ZnO nanowires (or nanorods) with special focus on photocatalysis. We have reviewed the semiconducting photocatalysts and discussed a variety of synthesis methods of ZnO nanowires and their corresponding effectiveness in photocatalysis. We have also presented the characterization of ZnO nanowires from the literature and from our own measurements. Finally, a wide range of uses of ZnO nanowires in various applications is highlighted in this paper.
