Bilinear residual network method for solving the exactly explicit solutions of nonlinear evolution equations
In this work, bilinear residual network method is proposed to solve nonlinear evolution equations. The activation function in final layer of deep neural network cannot interact with the neuron inside the deep neural network, but the residual network can transfer the input layer to the activation function in final layer to realize the interaction within the network. This reduces the complexity of the model and gives more interactive results. The steps of solving the exact analytical solution through the residual network are given. The rogue wave solution of Caudrey–Dodd–Gibbon–Kotera–Sawada-like equation is obtained by using the bilinear residual network method. Characteristic plots and dynamic analysis of these rogue waves are given.

Best 10 : 20th Asia-Pacific interior design awards = Di er shi jie Ya Tai shi nei she ji da jiang ji huo jiang zuo pin ji
Asia Pacific Interior Design Awards (APIDA) is organised by the Hong Kong Interior Design Association. It aims to give recognition to outstanding interior design projects and designers, promoting professional standards and ethics among interior design practices operating in the Asia Pacific region. The awards accept the interior design projects completed in the Asia/Pacific Region, including Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia, Macau, Thailand, The Philippines, India, Indonesia, Korea, Australia & New Zealand. This book selects the best projects from the excellent entries for the 20th Asia Pacific Interior Design Awards (APIDA). They fall into chapters, including food space, hotel space, leisure and entertainment space, living space, installation and exhibition space, public space, work space, shopping space and students' projects. This collection shows the readers the wisdom and design ideas of the designers in Asia-pacific region and unveil the design hotspots which belong to the Asia-pacific region.

Bilinear neural network method to obtain the exact analytical solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations and its application to p-gBKP equation
A new method named bilinear neural network is introduced in this paper, and the corresponding tensor formula is proposed to obtain the exact analytical solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). This is the first time that the neural network model is used to find the exact analytical solution, and this method covers almost all methods of constructing a function after bilinearization to solve nonlinear PDEs. Furthermore, this method is most likely a universal method to obtain the exact analytical solutions of nonlinear PDEs. Abundant arbitrary functions solutions of the reduced p-gBKP equation are obtained by using this method. Various beautiful plots of the presented solutions, which show diversity of exact solutions to PDEs, are made. By choosing appropriate values and functions, the fractal solitons waves are obtained and the self-similar characteristics of these waves are observed by reducing the observation range and magnifying local images. Via various three-dimensional plots, the evolution characteristics of these waves are exhibited.

A dyadic study of psychological well-being of individuals with Parkinson’s disease and their caregivers
Parkinson's disease (PD) is an incapacitating neurodegenerative disease. Patients with PD and their caregivers may have interactive effects on each other’s psychological well-being. This study aimed to assess the dyadic dynamics of resilience, fatigue, and suicidal ideation on the depression severity of PD patients and their caregivers. In total, 175 PD patients and 175 caregivers were recruited at a medical center from August 2018 to May 2020. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to examine the actor/partner effects on the psychological well-being of both the PD patients and their caregivers. The most common psychiatric diagnoses of both the PD patients (28.6%) and their caregivers (11.4%) were depressive disorders. The PD patients’ and their caregivers’ fatigue, suicidal ideation, and lack of resilience were significantly associated with the severity of their depression, respectively. Interactive effects existed between psychological well-being of individuals with PD and their caregivers. Clinicians must be aware of, and manage, these contributing factors between PD patients and their caregivers in order to prevent them from worsening each other’s depression.

A causal relationship between leukocyte telomere length and multiple sclerosis: A Mendelian randomization study
ObjectivesMultiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune and degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. Telomeres are protective structures located at the ends of linear chromosomes, and leukocyte telomere length (LTL) is closely connected with cell aging and senescence. However, the relationship between LTL and the risk of MS remains unknown.MethodsWe performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to evaluate whether LTL was causally associated with MS risk.ResultsIn our MR analysis, 12 LTL-related variants were selected as valid instrumental variables, and a causal relationship between LTL and MS was suggested. The risk of MS nearly doubled as the genetically predicted LTL shortened by one standard deviation (SD) under the inverse variance weighted (IVW) fixed effect model (odds ratio (OR) = 2.00, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.52-2.62, p = 6.01e-07). Similar estimated causal effects were also observed under different MR models. The MR–Egger regression test did not reveal any evidence of directional pleiotropy (intercept = -0.005, stand error (SE) = 0.03, p = 0.87). The Mendelian Randomization Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier (MR-PRESSO) analysis also indicated no directional pleiotropy or outliers for any LTL-related IVs ( p -global test = 0.13). In addition, a leave-one-out sensitivity analysis showed similar findings, which further emphasized the validity and stability of the causal relationship.ConclusionsOur results suggest a potential causal effect of LTL on the risk of MS. Genetically predicted shorter LTL could increase the risk of MS in the European population. LTL should be noted and emphasized in the pathogenesis and treatment of MS.
