Minimum Size of Some Metrics for the Graph , the Line Graph of the Graph and the Cartesian product
For an arranged subset of vertices in a
connected graph the metric representation of a vertex in , is the
-vector relative to
. Also, the subset is considered as resolving set for if any pair of
vertices of is distinguished by some vertices of . In the present
article, we study the minimum size of resolving set, and doubly resolving set
for the graph , and the line graph of the graph is denoted by
. Also, we compute some metrics for the Cartesian product
based on the resolving sets in graphs. It is well known that these problems are
NP hard

Let be the Cayley graph on the cyclic additive group where , \dots , are the inverse-closed subsets of for any , . In this paper, we will show that if and only if . Also, we will show that if is an even integer and then where and in this case, we show that is an integral graph
Etiology of the Neonatal Seizures: An Epidemiological Study
Background: Neonatal seizure is a rare neurologic condition. The current study aimed at determining the etiology of neonatal seizure.Methods: The current study evaluated the data of 100 neonates who were hospitalized at neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) during 2015-2017. A pediatric neurologist made the final diagnosis of seizure. Patients’ medical records were used to review neonatal seizure variables. SPSS (version 16) was used to perform the statistical analyses.Results: The current study enrolled 100 newborns (41% female) admitted to the NICU following the first episode of seizure and the body temperature of 36.8-39.2°C (mean: 37.2°C). Of 100 participants, 94 (94%) had acute symptomatic seizure and 6 (6%) were compatible with neonatal epilepsy syndrome criteria. According to the results, the commonest etiologies were the neonatal encephalopathy and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy constituting 82% of participants.Conclusion: The consequences of acute symptomatic seizures in neonates are determined mainly by the etiology of the seizures. Seizure burden and use of anti-seizure drugs may also have some impact, but this has yet to be fully defined
Trading-off Mutual Information on Feature Aggregation for Face Recognition
Despite the advances in the field of Face Recognition (FR), the precision of
these methods is not yet sufficient. To improve the FR performance, this paper
proposes a technique to aggregate the outputs of two state-of-the-art (SOTA)
deep FR models, namely ArcFace and AdaFace. In our approach, we leverage the
transformer attention mechanism to exploit the relationship between different
parts of two feature maps. By doing so, we aim to enhance the overall
discriminative power of the FR system. One of the challenges in feature
aggregation is the effective modeling of both local and global dependencies.
Conventional transformers are known for their ability to capture long-range
dependencies, but they often struggle with modeling local dependencies
accurately. To address this limitation, we augment the self-attention mechanism
to capture both local and global dependencies effectively. This allows our
model to take advantage of the overlapping receptive fields present in
corresponding locations of the feature maps. However, fusing two feature maps
from different FR models might introduce redundancies to the face embedding.
Since these models often share identical backbone architectures, the resulting
feature maps may contain overlapping information, which can mislead the
training process. To overcome this problem, we leverage the principle of
Information Bottleneck to obtain a maximally informative facial representation.
This ensures that the aggregated features retain the most relevant and
discriminative information while minimizing redundant or misleading details. To
evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed method, we conducted experiments on
popular benchmarks and compared our results with state-of-the-art algorithms.
The consistent improvement we observed in these benchmarks demonstrates the
efficacy of our approach in enhancing FR performance.Comment: Accepted to 22 IEEE International Conference on Machine

Neonatal Seizure and Afterward, Epilepsy: A Systematic Review
Background: The purpose of the current study is to estimate the incidence of epilepsy after neonatal seizure (NS) by reviewing of the latest studies on the relationship between NSs and epilepsy in newborns and also discuss risk factors may contribute to this relationship.Methods: A literature review was performed using the search terms “neonatal seizure AND epilepsy,” “newborns AND epilepsy,” “postneonatal epilepsy.” After exclusion of several studies, which did not meet inclusion criteria, the epilepsy incidence rate was measured by dividing the number of all cases of epilepsy who had a history of NS in selected studies considered with the number of all newborns enrolled to the studies minus the number of cases who lost the follow-ups.Results: By reviewing the literature, 13 studies were found, which completely meet the inclusion criteria and published between 2009 and 2019, of which three were population-based while the remaining studies performed hospital-based. Overall, the population evaluated in these series has been estimated to be 2438 newborns of which 454 died, and 300 missed the follow-ups. The incidence rate for afterward epilepsy in all 1684 subjects with NS was 20%, literally 343 of the NS subjects.Conclusion: The presented review enrolled the most recent studies encompassing enough and extended the time as well as adequate sample size. Epilepsy is considered a common outcome of NS, particularly in those with other neurodevelopmental comorbidities, even if there were always several limits associated with various study designs and condition
Landau Kleffner Syndrome and Misdiagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Mini-Review
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is the name for a group of developmental disorders including a wide range of signs, symptoms and disability. Landau kleffner syndrome (LKS) or acquired epileptic aphasia is a pediatric disorder characterized by the association of epileptiform electroencephalographic (EEG) abnormalities and acquired aphasia. The early stages of the LKS may be manifested by the symptoms of the autism leading to misdiagnosis. Since LKS is a progressive disease, its misdiagnosis leads to a greater neurocognitive deterioration which may result in seizure in the final stages. The purpose of this review was to provide an overview of available researchs on ASD population and patients with LKS and relationship between these two diseases
