    Abstract A variety of new recurrent neural networks (RNNs) including the ODE-LSTM, Phased LSTM, CTGRU and GRU-D, were evaluated on modeling irregularly sampled PK/PD data with 6 or 12 time points/day and predicting PD data of unseen dosing regimens and dosing levels. The one-compartment absorption PK model and the Indirect PK/PD model I was used to simulate the PK/PD with inter-individual variabilities in volume of distribution and residual errors in PD measurement. The four RNNs were able to successfully model daily dose (QD) PK/PD and extrapolate to twice daily (BID) dose PD based on BID PK. The RNNs not only captured the additional fluctuations in the BID regimen but also the return phase to the baseline PD. However, extrapolating to unseen dose levels outside of the dose range for training proved to be challenging for all the RNNs tested. Only the GRUD demonstrated reasonable prediction results when extrapolating to unseen doses that were 3 or 10-fold outside the training doses. Overall, these new RNNs were able to overcome some limitations of previous RNNs evaluated and showed promise of integrating neural networks in PK/PD.

    Abstract Background: During 2020, the Food and Drug Administration approved 53 novel drugs.
    Objective: Biomarkers, surrogate endpoints and dosing regimens used in early and pivotal clinical stages are evaluated.
    Methods: Information on various efficacy end points of 2020 Food and Drug Administration approved novel drugs was gathered from the Drug Approvals and Databases page of the Food and Drug Administration website. Endpoint data from efficacy end points for the 2019 approved novel drugs by Tong and Wang are used as a comparison.
    Results: Among the 53 drugs approved during 2020, 49 were for treatment of various diseases and 4 were for diagnostics. Twenty-five drug approvals (51%, relative to 49 drugs for treatment of diseases) were based on surrogate end points, consisting of 12 accelerated approvals and 13 regular approvals. There were 19 drug approvals for cancer treatments (39%, relative to 49 drugs for treatment of diseases). During 2019, there were 48 drugs approved. Forty-four were for treatment of various diseases and 4 were for diagnostics. Fourteen drug approvals (32%, relative to 44 drugs for treatment of diseases) were based on surrogate end points, consisting of 9 accelerated approvals and 5 regular approvals. There were 10 drug approvals for cancer treatments (23%, relative to 44 drugs for treatment of diseases).The approved doses were usually much closer to the highest dose tested in clinical trials (about 2-fold lower) compared with the lower dose tested in clinical trials (about 11-fold higher). Large and variable distances between the starting low dose in humans and the final approved doses indicate that finding the optimal dose in clinical trials is still a time-consuming and costly process. Further dose analysis for cancer drugs approved during 2020 showed that the distances between the starting dose in human beings and the final approved doses of cancer drugs were still large and variable, similar to distances in noncancer drugs. Stratification of drugs approved in 2020 by molecular weights shows that small molecular weights (<1000 Daltons) appeared to be smaller and less variable than those for drugs with large molecules (>1000 Daltons). (
    Conclusions: Surrogate end points with accelerated approval have been widely used for approvals, with an increasing trend from 2019 to 2020 (32% vs. 51%). The approved doses usually were much higher (10-fold) than the lowest tested dose in first-in-human trials, while much closer (2-fold lower) to the highest dose tested in clinical trials.

    Abstract This literature review discovers an implementation of formal logic systems in cyber security by enhancing access control models. We explore the characteristics of the existing access control theories, their limitations and how classical logic is used therein. We then delve into the possibility of utilising non-classical logic systems for improving the models. In particular, we explore how classical logic can be used to describe and prove the correctness of role-based access control and attribute-based access control models.

  5. Artikel ; Online: The Slippery Slopes of Climate Engineering Research

    Abstract Climate engineering research attracts Slippery Slope concerns – the idea that initial research will inevitably lead to inappropriate deployment. Some have dismissed it as an unrealistic, unproductive critique. However, extant climate engineering discussions of the Slippery Slope discuss an unorganised set of different causal mechanisms with little detail. These range from technological cost reduction, to the creation of special interest lobby groups, to normalisation across society and policymakers. Dismissing the Slippery Slope may be premature if its causal nature is unclear, especially given the potentially high impacts and controversy of global climate engineering deployment. Disaggregating and clarifying the Slippery Slope can reduce unnecessary ambiguity, promote productive debate, and highlight risks that require further attention. Drawing on previous Slippery Slope literature and mechanisms of change from range of disciplines, this paper creates a typology of Slippery Slopes for application to stratospheric aerosol injection and other emerging technologies. Initial research can lead to deployment by 1) sparking price-performance improvements and sunk cost biases, 2) contributing to normalisation and legitimisation, 3) altering power structures, 4) sparking hype, and 5) incrementally progressing development. These feedback loops may currently seem unlikely, but unforeseen dynamics could still trigger rapid development and implementation of stratospheric aerosol injection. Conversely, there is no guarantee one of these Slippery Slopes will occur. The point is that they could – the future is too uncertain to fully dismiss non-linear change, particularly for high impact and accessible technologies like stratospheric aerosol injection. This can provide direction and clarity for effective technology governance and Slippery Slope discussion. Furthermore, this typology differentiates the Slippery Slope from lock-in and highlights their interaction points. Slippery Slope dynamics are processes that can (but are not guaranteed to) lead to different types of lock-in. Lock-in is when a technology is entrenched in existing sociotechnical systems. Given the risks of unchecked undesired lock-in, lock-in is a state to be encouraged instead of avoided.

    Abstract Introduction: Current therapies are unable to cure Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a severe and common form of muscular dystrophy, and instead aim to delay disease progression. Several treatments currently in phase I trials could increase the number of therapeutic options available to patients.
    Areas covered: This review aims to provide an overview of current treatments undergoing or having recently undergone early-stage trials. Several exon-skipping and gene therapy approaches are currently being investigated at the clinical stage to address an unmet need for DMD treatments. This article also covers Phase I trials from the last 5 years that involve inhibitors, small molecules, a purified synthetic flavanol, a cell-based therapy, and repurposed cardiac or tumor medications.
    Expert opinion: With antisense oligonucleotide (AON) treatments making up the majority of conditionally approved DMD therapies, most of the clinical trials occurring within the last 5 years have also evaluated exon-skipping AONs. The approval of Elevidys, a micro-dystrophin therapy, is reflected in a recent trend toward gene transfer therapies in phase I DMD clinical trials, but their safety and efficacy are being established in this phase of development. Other Phase I clinical-stage approaches are diverse, but have a range in efficacy, safety, and endpoint measures.

    Abstract The flavor of black rice wine (BRW) can be diversified by the Xiaoqus, from different regions; however, the functional microbiota that contributes to its flavor remains unclear. Accordingly, this study selected three regional Xiaoqus from Sichuan Dazhu (Q1), Jiangxi Yingtan (Q2), and Hubei Fangxian (Q3) as starters to investigate flavor compounds and microbial communities during BRW brewing. Results indicated that altogether 61 flavor substances were identified, 16 of which were common characteristic flavor compounds (odor activity value > 0.1). Each BRW possessed unique characteristic flavor compounds. O2PLS and Spearman's correlation analysis determined that characteristic flavor compounds of BRW were mainly produced by
