This occurs because applying budget constraints sequentially grants assets processed earlier preferential access to funds, distorting individual asset demand and consequently their price trajectories. The findings highlight that while the overall price level is primarily driven by macro factors like the money-to-stock ratio, the market’s microstructural clearing mechanism plays a critical role in the allocation of value among individual assets.

This study proposes an integrated deep learning and bioinformatics framework to uncover molecular pathways and identify potential therapeutic targets. The dataset includes 156 CD patients, 167 UC patients and 267 healthy controls. The Graph Attention Network (GAT) is applied to protein–protein interaction (PPI) networks for embedding the node features and reweighting edges based on learned attention scores. The <strong>Louvain algorithm</strong> on the embedded PPI network identifies the top 10 communities. Functional enrichment analysis of the genes within these communities reveals significantly enriched in immune responses, stress responses and pathogen-associated pathways. From these communities, 32 hub genes are identified as being implicated in IBD pathogenesis. The <strong>machine learning classifiers</strong> logistic regression, support vector machine, random forest, gradient boosting and a stacking classifier are applied to 32 genes to distinguish between CD and UC. Based on classification performance and statistical significance, 10 highly significant genes <strong>TLR5, TLR2, IL1B, IL4R, TLR4, IL18, STAT3, STAT1, IL18RAP</strong> and <strong>IFNGR1</strong> are selected. Furthermore, the KEGG pathway analysis of the 32 genes shows that five of these genes (<strong>STAT1</strong>, <strong>STAT3</strong>, <strong>IL4R</strong>, <strong>IL18</strong> and <strong>TLR2)</strong> are directly involved in IBD-related pathways. Experimental validation of five key genes using qRT-PCR in HCT116 cells confirms significant upregulation of these genes. Modularity and NMI scores demonstrate that the GAT-based framework achieves superior community detection performance compared to baseline methods. This approach gives a scalable and robust strategy for advancing biomarker discovery and personalized therapy in complex diseases like IBD.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48907,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Computational Science","volume":"95 ","pages":"Article 102791"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146081490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many such algorithms, including the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), embed parameterized quantum circuits as subroutines inside a classical host program. In current toolchains these circuits are executed in full, even when only a subset of measurement outcomes actually contributes to subsequent classical computations. In this manuscript, we propose a circuit optimization technique that uses information from the host program to identify and remove dead gates, i.e. quantum operations whose effects propagate only into measurement outcomes that are never semantically consumed. We formalize equivalence of circuits relative to the valid measurement outcomes, characterize dead gates, and give a polynomial-time elimination algorithm. We prove that removing dead gates does not change the probability distribution of the contributory measurement outcomes and therefore preserves the semantics of the overall hybrid program. We also discuss the challenges in host-side analysis. We implement our optimization and evaluate it on instances of VQE, quantum phase estimation (QPE), a QAOA-based MaxCut solver, and a Trotterised Hamiltonian-simulation algorithm, as well as on randomly generated hybrid programs. Across all benchmarks, our method removes a non-trivial fraction of gates even on circuits that have already been pre-optimized by state-of-the-art transpilers; in some cases it can eliminate entire quantum blocks when all measurement outcomes are dead.

Numerous CV-based solutions have been presented, but the optimal solution for underwater object classification and species classification needs further research.
