Rensselaer Researcher Overcomes Portfolio Optimization Limitations With New Approach
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)

Optimizing an investment portfolio to maximize returns while minimizing risk is the ultimate goal for investors and their advisers. However, there is no set path and challenges always arise. One such limitation is the high-dimensional, small-sample problem (HDSS). HDSS refers to a portfolio with a large number of assets but little historical data, leading to unreliable portfolio optimization and resulting in weak investment performance.

Two-Stage Computer Algorithm Will Detect Epilepsy with High Precision
Scientific Project Lomonosov

Scientists elaborated algorithm that much better detects epilepsy on EEG recordings, than other automated methods. To achieve this, authors combined two approaches to analysis of signals of brain activity – classifier, that doesn’t require education, and trainable neural network. The project will enable to automate analysis of EEG and so simplify the process of detecting of epilepsy. Results of the research, supported by the grant of Presidential program of Russian Scientific Foundation, are published in the magazine IEEE Access.

Mango Magic: Unraveling the Genetic Roots of Multiple Embryos
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A recent study has uncovered the genetic mechanism behind polyembryony in mango—a process where a single seed produces multiple embryos. By identifying the key reproductive wuschel-related protein (MiRWP) gene, researchers have unlocked how this natural cloning process occurs through changes in gene expression. The discovery has potential to transform agricultural practices, offering new methods for cultivating uniform plants and improving crop production efficiency across various fruit species.

Instead of tea with sugar: soybean molasses helped tea fungus to produce more bacterial cellulose.
Scientific Project Lomonosov

Scientists tested different methods of obtaining bacterial cellulose on the base of tea fungus. It turned out that when they grow on soybean molasses, microorganisms produce more by 57% of this product than on the base of tea with sugar. This method will make the production cheaper, because soybean molasses is a by-product of soybean processing, that is obtained in great amount at factories. Thanks to such cheap and accessible substrate it will be possible to produce bacterial cellulose, that is used in medicine for wound healing and neogenesis, industrially. Results of the research supported by the grant of Russian Scientific Foundation (RSF), are published in the magazine Food Science and Technology.
