In general, lignosulfonate tested in this work shows potential to be used as a reactive component in polymer blends.Accurate short-term small-area meteorological forecasts are essential to ensure the safety of operations and equipment operations in the Antarctic interior. This study proposes a deep learning-based multi-input neural network model to address this problem. The newly proposed model is predicted by combining a stacked autoencoder and a long- and short-term memory network. The self-stacking autoencoder maximises the features and removes redundancy from the target weather station's sensor data and extracts temporal features from the sensor data using a long- and short-term memory network. The proposed new model evaluates the prediction performance and generalisation capability at four observation sites at different East Antarctic latitudes (including the Antarctic maximum and the coastal region). The performance of five deep learning networks is compared through five evaluation metrics, and the optimal form of input combination is discussed. The results show that the prediction capability of the model outperforms the other models. It provides a new method for short-term meteorological prediction in a small inland Antarctic region.Advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated with sorafenib who develop early dermatologic adverse events (eDAEs) have a better prognosis. This may be linked to immune mechanisms, and thus, it is relevant to assess the association between peripheral immunity and the probability of developing eDAEs. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 52 HCC patients treated with sorafenib were analyzed at baseline and throughout the first eight weeks of therapy. T, B, Natural Killer cells, and their immune checkpoints expression data were characterized by flow cytometry. Cytokine release and immune-suppression assays were carried out ex vivo. Cox baseline and time-dependent regression models were applied to evaluate the probability of increased risk of eDAEs. DNAM-1, PD-1, CD69, and LAG-3 in T cells, plus CD16 and LAG-3 in NK cells, are significantly associated with the probability of developing eDAEs. While NK DNAM-1+ cells express activation markers, T DNAM-1+ cells induce immune suppression and show immune exhaustion. This is the first study to report an association between immune checkpoints expression in circulating immune cells and the increased incidence of eDAEs. Our results support the hypothesis for an off-target role of sorafenib in immune modulation. We also describe a novel association between DNAM-1 and immune exhaustion in T cells. Depression affects millions worldwide, with drug therapy being the mainstay treatment. A variety of factors, including personal reviews, are involved in the success or failure of medication therapy. This study looked to characterize the sentiment of online medication reviews of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor (SNRIs) used to treat depression. The publicly available data source used was the Drug Review Dataset from the University of California Irvine Machine Learning Repository. The dataset contained the following variables ID, drug name, condition, review, rating, date, and usefulness count. This study utilized a sentiment analysis of free-text, online reviews via the sentimentr package. A Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparisons. The average sentiment was higher in SSRIs compared to SNRIs (0.065 vs. 0.005, < 0.001). The average sentiment was also found to be higher in high-rated reviews than in low-rated reviews (0.169 vs. -0.367, < 0.001). Ratings were similar in the high-rated SSRI group and high-rated SNRI group (9.19 vs. 9.19). This study supports the use of sentiment analysis using the AFINN lexicon, as the lexicon showed a difference in sentiment between high-rated revie
