Summary: This study analyzes the impact of redundant features on classification model performance and proposes a theoretical framework for analyzing feature construction and selection. The experimental results suggest that a large number of redundant features can reduce the classification error.

Summary: The study found that when ordering motives, people exhibit different ordering patterns including strict transitivity, weak transitivity, changing order, and intransitivity. In addition, Likert ratings are correlated with the order of motives obtained from pairwise comparisons, but do not differentiate between different ordering patterns and hierarchies of motives.

Summary: This study examines the impact of the breadth of innovation objectives and cooperation on innovation performance. The findings suggest that firms with broader innovation objectives and greater cooperation experience higher innovation performance, but there are optimal levels for both breadth of objectives and cooperation.

Summary: In this study, vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy (VSFS) and pressure-area Langmuir trough measurements were used to investigate the binding of alkali metal cations to eicosyl sulfate (ESO4) surfactants at the air/water interface. The results showed that K+ had a stronger binding affinity to the fatty sulfate interface compared to Li+ and Na+, and all three cations formed ion pairs under certain conditions.

Summary: This study found that predawn leaf water potential cannot be used as a proxy for soil water potential in wet soil conditions, but it may be applicable in dry soil conditions. These findings are important for plant water relations research.

Summary: Reagent purity is crucial in experimental research as it can affect the accuracy of results. Impurities can negatively affect surface science experiments, such as surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). This study identified a strongly interfering impurity in the synthesis of DECMP and observed significant interference from impurities in the SERS analysis of NaBr, NaI, and sulfadiazine. The findings emphasize the importance of excluding ultratrace impurities for reliable SERS qualitative analysis.

Summary: Reagent purity is crucial in experimental research to avoid wrong conclusions or interference caused by ultratrace impurities. In the field of surface science, impurities can have a significant negative effect due to strong interaction with the surface. This study reveals the distortion of SERS performance caused by trace impurities in DECMP and emphasizes the need for reliable SERS qualitative analysis guidelines to exclude potential misleading effects of ultratrace impurities strongly adsorbed on Au or Ag surfaces.

Summary: This study addresses the impact of component failure dependencies on system availability and presents a realistic scenario by considering mixed subsystems failure dependencies. The problem is formulated with reference to a complex bridge network system and a series-parallel system. Three nature-inspired optimization techniques are implemented, and the results show that differential evolution (DE) outperforms manta ray foraging optimization (MRFO) and shuffled frog leaping algorithm (SFLA).

Summary: In the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, pomalidomide is still relevant and can ensure durable response, especially for patients who responded well to previous lenalidomide. The addition of cyclophosphamide to pomalidomide-based therapy is associated with better overall response rate and can be considered for high-risk patients who had a less-than-satisfactory response to previous lenalidomide treatment.

Summary: This paper presents new evidence on the impact of FinTech expansion on bank branch closures by utilizing the plausibly exogenous variation in FinTech expansion generated by the largest FinTech giant in China. The findings show that FinTech expansion leads to an increase in both the number and proportion of bank branch closures. The debranching effects are significant only for product ranges that overlap between the bank and FinTech company, suggesting that the bank's supposed advantage can be replaced by new competitors from the FinTech industry. The results provide insight into the global trend of debranching.

Summary: This study demonstrates that interspecies compatibility in Capsicum is not necessarily reflected in relatedness according to established gene pools. By analyzing genetic and phenotypic data, the relationships among wild and domesticated Capsicum species were clarified. The study also provides evidence for the misidentification of some species in the World Vegetable Center genebank.
