The Scottish Crop Research Institute more commonly known as SCRI was a scientific institute located in Invergowrie near Dundee, Scotland. As of April 2011, when SCRI merged with the Macaulay Land Use Institute it is now part of The James Hutton Institute.
In Alzheimer's disease, the researchers found that if the patients were treated at the early stage of the disease, it could effectively delay the development of the disease. At present, multi-modal feature selection is widely used in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. However, existing multi-modal feature selection algorithms focus on learning the internal information of multiple modalities. They ignore the relationship between modalities, the importance of each modality and the local structure in the multi-modal data. In this paper, we propose a multi-modal feature selection algorithm with anchor graph for Alzheimer's disease. Specifically, we first use the least square loss and l(2,1)-norm to obtain the weight of the feature under each modality. Then we embed a modal weight factor into the objective function to obtain the importance of each modality. Finally, we use anchor graph to quickly learn the local structure information in multi-modal data. In addition, we also verify the validity of the proposed algorithm on the published ADNI dataset.
Aims: To evaluate the effect of K2SO42- application on growth of soybean cultivars besides chemical parameters under salt stress. Study Design: Laid out the experiment in Complete Randomized Design in triplicates. Analyzed the data statistically by using the statistical software Statistix 8.1. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in Soil Salinity and Bio-saline Research green house and in the laboratory of Land Resources Research Institute at National Agricultural Research Centre, Islamabad (under PARC), Pakistan for three months. Methodology: To study germination parameters under salt stress, NaCl was used @ 0, 100, 120 and 140 mmol L-1. At seedling stage, interactive effect among salt stress (0 and 4.5 dSm-1), potassium sulphate (KS) application @ 10 mmol L-1 and soybean (Cvs. NIBGE-301 and NIGBE-158) was recorded for growth and ion relations. Results: Germination, biomass, bio vigor, mass vigor and sap vigor of the seedlings and ion relations were affected highly significantly (p≤ 0.01). Under interactive effect of KS and salt stress at vegetative stage, Na+/K+ in the plants declined with KS application. Sulphur and phosphorus concentration in the plants changed under the same conditions. Conclusion: Induced salt stress revealed germination, seed bio vigor, seeding mass vigor, and seedling sap vigor seedling and other vegetative parameters of soybean cultivars. Potassium sulphate application revealed genotypes differential response to ion relations and growth under salt stress. NIBGE-301 was more tolerant to salt stress and more responsive to potassium sulphate application than NIGBE-158.
