Abstract Autism is a multifaceted neurodevelopmental condition whose accurate diagnosis may be challenging because the associated symptoms and severity vary considerably. The wrong can affect families educational system, raising risk of depression, eating disorders, self-harm. Recently, many works have proposed new methods for autism based on machine learning brain data. However, these focus only one pairwise statistical metric, ignoring network organization. In this paper, we propose method...

Abstract Autism subtypes, including general Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Asperger Syndrome (AS), exhibit distinct neural connectivity patterns. This study is the first to systematically integrate Topological Data Analysis (TDA) with complex network measures machine learning (ML) investigate brain lateralization differences among these subtypes. Using fMRI-derived matrices, TDA metrics—such as persistence entropy fractal dimension—revealed that AS networks are highly integrated hierar-chically...

Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is a major agricultural commodity, essential for the global chocolate industry and livelihoods of millions farmers. However, viral diseases pose significant threat to cocoa production, with Badnavirus species causing severe losses in Africa. Despite its economic importance, overall virome T. remains poorly characterized, limiting our understanding diversity potential disease interactions. This study aims assess cocoa-associated by analyzing 109 publicly available...

Abstract Heart disease, also known as cardiovascular encompasses a variety of heart conditions that can result in sudden death for many people. Examples include high blood pressure, ischaemia, irregular heartbeats and pericardial effusion. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal analysis is frequently used to diagnose diseases, providing crucial information on how the functions. To analyse ECG signals, quantile graphs (QGs) method maps time series into network based time-series fluctuation...
