AbstractIbrexafungerp (BREXAFEMME®) is an orally active triterpenoid antifungal drug being developed by SCYNEXIS, Inc. for the treatment of fungal infections. The inhibition of β-1,3-D glucan synthetase by ibrexafungerp compromises the integrity of fungal cell walls. Ibrexafungerp has been recently approved for the treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), and it is the first novel antifungal drug class to be approved in more than 20 years. Development for the treatment of recurrent VVC and invasive fungal infections is ongoing. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of ibrexafungerp leading to this first approval for the treatment of VVC in adult and postmenarchal paediatric females.

description: The hyperfine splittings $Δ_D=(m_{D^*_s}-m_{D_s})-(m_{D^{*+}}-m_{D^+})$ and $Δ_B=(m_{B^*_s}-m_{B_s})-(m_{B^{*0}}-m_{B^0})$ are analyzed in the framework of an effective lagrangian possessing chiral, heavy flavour and spin symmetries, explicitly broken by a complete set of first order terms. Among these terms, those responsible for the difference between the couplings $\gis$ and $\gi$ are evaluated in the QCD sum rules approach. Their contribution to $Δ_D$ and to $Δ_B$ appears to quantitatively balance previously estimated chiral effects nice agreement with the experimental data, solving a suspected puzzle for heavy quark theory.

description: We derive the equations of motion of relativistic magnetohydrodynamics, as well as microscopic expressions for all of its transport coefficients, from the Boltzmann equation using the method of moments. In contrast to reference Phys. Rev. D 98(7) 2018, where a single component gas was considered, we perform our derivation for a locally neutral fluid composed of two massless particle species with opposite charges. We demonstrate that the magnetohydrodynamical equations of motion become dramatically different for this more realistic system. The shear-stress tensor no longer obeys a single differential equation; it breaks into three non-degenerate components with respect to the magnetic field, each evolving according to different dynamical equations. For large magnetic fields, we further show that the solution of this theory displays oscillatory behaviour that can no longer be described by an Israel-Stewart-like theory. Finally, we investigate the derived equations in a Bjorken flow scenario.

Combinatorial analogs of topological zeta functions

description: In this article we introduce a new matroid invariant, a combinatorial analog of the topological zeta function of a polynomial. More specifically we associate to any ranked, atomic meet-semilattice L a rational function Z(L,s), in such a way that when L is the lattice of flats of a complex hyperplane arrangement we recover the usual topological zeta function. The definition is in terms of a choice of a combinatorial analog of resolution of singularities, and the main result is that Z(L,s) does not depend on this choice and depends only on L. Known properties of the topological zeta function provide a source of potential complex realisability test for matroids.

description: An interpretation of AGASA (Akeno Giant Air Shower Array) data by comparing the experimental results with the simulated ones by CORSIKA (COsmic Ray SImulation for KASCADE) has been made. General features of the electromagnetic component and low energy muons observed by AGASA can be well reproduced by CORSIKA. The form of the lateral distribution of charged particles agrees well with the experimental one between a few hundred metres and 2000 m from the core, irrespective of the hadronic interaction model studied and the primary composition (proton or iron). It does not depend on the primary energy between 10^17.5 and 10^20 eV as the experiment shows. If we evaluate the particle density measured by scintillators of 5 cm thickness at 600 m from the core (S_0(600), suffix 0 denotes the vertically incident shower) by taking into account the similar conditions as in the experiment, the conversion relation from S_0(600) to the primary energy is expressed as E [eV] = 2.15 x 10^17 x S_0(600)^1.015, within 10% uncertainty among the models and composition used, which suggests the present AGASA conversion factor is the lower limit. Though the form of the muon lateral distribution fits well to the experiment within 1000 m from the core, the absolute values change with hadronic interaction model and primary composition. The slope of the rho_mu(600) (muon density above 1 GeV at 600 m from the core) vs. S_0(600) relation in experiment is flatter than that in simulation of any hadronic model and primary composition. Since the experimental slope is constant from 10^15 eV to 10^19 eV, we need to study this relation in a wide primary energy range to infer the rate of change of chemical composition with energy. keywords: cosmic ray, extensive air shower, simulation, primary energy estimation PACS number ; 96.40.De, 96.40.Pq

description: We use the PSCz IRAS galaxy redshift survey to analyze the cosmological galaxy dipole out to a distance 300 h$^{-1}$ Mpc. The masked area is filled in three different ways, firstly by sampling the whole sky at random, secondly by using neighbouring areas to fill a masked region, and thirdly using a spherical harmonic analysis. The method of treatment of the mask is found to have a significant effect on the final calculated dipole. The conversion from redshift space to real space is accomplished by using an analytical model of the cluster and void distribution, based on 88 nearby groups, 854 clusters and 163 voids, with some of the clusters and all of the voids found from the PSCz database. The dipole for the whole PSCz sample appears to have converged within a distance of 200 $h^{-1}$Mpc and yields a value for $β= Ω^{0.6}/b$ = 0.75 (+0.11,-0.08), consistent with earlier determinations from IRAS samples by a variety of methods. For b = 1, the $2-σ$ range for $Ω_{o}$ is 0.43-1.02. The direction of the dipole is within 13$^o$ of the CMB dipole, the main uncertainty in direction being associated with the masked area behind the Galactic plane. The improbability that further major contributions to the dipole amplitude will come from volumes larger than those surveyed here means that the question of the origin of the CMB dipole is essentially resolved.

On full asymptotics of analytic torsions for compact locally symmetric orbifolds

description: We consider a certain sequence of flat vector bundles on a compact locally symmetric orbifold, and we evaluate explicitly the associated asymptotic Ray-Singer real analytic torsion. The basic idea is to computing the heat trace via Selberg's trace formula, so that a key point in this paper is to evaluate the orbital integrals associated with nontrivial elliptic elements. For that purpose, we deduce a geometric localization formula, so that we can rewrite an elliptic orbital integral as a sum of certain identity orbital integrals associated with the centralizer of that elliptic element. The explicit geometric formula of Bismut for semisimple orbital integrals plays an essential role in these computations.

Study of magnetized accretion flow with variable $Γ$ equation of state

description: We present here the solutions of magnetized accretion flows on to a compact object with hard surface such as neutron stars. The magnetic field of the central star is assumed dipolar and the magnetic axis is assumed to be aligned with the rotation axis of the star. We have used an equation of state for the accreting fluid in which the adiabatic index is dependent on temperature and composition of the flow. We have also included cooling processes like bremsstrahlung and cyclotron processes in the accretion flow. We found all possible accretion solutions. All accretion solutions terminate with a shock very near to the star surface and the height of this primary shock do not vary much with either the spin period or the Bernoulli parameter of the flow, although the strength of the shock may vary with the period. For moderately rotating central star there are possible formation of multiple sonic points in the flow and therefore, a second shock far away from the star surface may also form. However, the second shock is much weaker than the primary one near the surface. We found that if rotation period is below a certain value $(\pmin)$, then multiple critical points or multiple shocks are not possible and $\pmin$ depends upon the composition of the flow. We also found that cooling effect dominates after the shock and that the cyclotron and the bremsstrahlung cooling processes should be considered to obtain a consistent accretion solution.

Nonperturbative Corrections in Resummed Cross Sections

description: We show that the resummation of large perturbative corrections in QCD leads to ambiguities in high energy cross sections that are suppressed by powers of large momentum scales. These ambiguities are caused by infrared renormalons, which are a general feature of resummed hard-scattering functions in perturbative QCD, even though these functions are infrared safe order-by-order in perturbation theory. As in the case of the operator product expansion, the contributions of infrared renormalons to coefficient functions may be absorbed into the definition of higher-dimensional operators, which induce nonperturbative corrections that are power-suppressed at high energies. The strength of the suppression is determined by the location of the dominant infrared renormalon, which may be identified explicitly in the resummed series. In contrast to the operator product expansion, however, the relevant operators in factorized hadron-hadron scattering and jet cross sections are generally nonlocal in QCD, although they may be expressed as local operators in an effective theory for eikonalized quarks. In this context, we verify and interpret the presence of $1/Q$ corrections to the inclusive Drell-Yan cross section with $Q$ the pair mass. In a similar manner, we find $\exp(-b^2\ln Q)$ corrections in the impact parameter space of the transverse momentum distributions of the Drell-Yan process and $e^+e^-$ annihilation. We also show that the dominant nonperturbative corrections to cone-based jet cross sections behave as $1/(Qδ)$, with $δ$ the opening angle of the jet and $Q$ the center of mass energy.

description: The new web-based academic communication platforms do not only enable researchers to better advertise their academic outputs, making them more visible than ever before, but they also provide a wide supply of metrics to help authors better understand the impact their work is making. This study has three objectives: a) to analyse the uptake of some of the most popular platforms (Google Scholar Citations, ResearcherID, ResearchGate, Mendeley and Twitter) by a specific scientific community (bibliometrics, scientometrics, informetrics, webometrics, and altmetrics); b) to compare the metrics available from each platform; and c) to determine the meaning of all these new metrics. To do this, the data available in these platforms about a sample of 811 authors (researchers in bibliometrics for whom a public profile Google Scholar Citations was found) were extracted. A total of 31 metrics were analysed. The results show that a high number of the analysed researchers only had a profile in Google Scholar Citations (159), or only in Google Scholar Citations and ResearchGate (142). Lastly, we find two kinds of metrics of online impact. First, metrics related to connectivity (followers), and second, all metrics associated to academic impact. This second group can further be divided into usage metrics (reads, views), and citation metrics. The results suggest that Google Scholar Citations is the source that provides more comprehensive citation-related data, whereas Twitter stands out in connectivity-related metrics.

Assessment of Response Bias Is Neglected in Cross-Sectional Blindness Prevalence Surveys: A Review of Recent Surveys in Low- and Middle-Income Countries

description: Purpose: Findings from cross-sectional blindness prevalence surveys are at risk of several biases that cause the study estimate to differ from the ‘true’ population prevalence. For example, response bias occurs when people who participate (‘responders’) differ from those who do not (‘non-responders’) in ways that affect prevalence estimates. This study aimed to assess the extent to which response bias is considered and occurs in blindness prevalence surveys in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science for cross-sectional blindness prevalence surveys undertaken in LMICs and published 2009–2017. From included studies, we recorded and descriptively analysed details regarding enumeration processes, response, and non-response, including the impact of non-response on results. Results: Most (95%) of the 92 included studies reported a response rate (median 91.7%, inter-quartile range 85.9–95.6%). Approximately half clearly described enumeration processes (49%), and reported at least one strategy to increase the response rate (53%); a quarter (23%) statistically compared responders and non-responders. When differential response was assessed, men were more likely to be non-responders than women. Two-thirds (65%) of the time a sociodemographic difference was found between responders and non-responders, a difference in blindness prevalence was also found. Only 13 studies (14%) commented on implications of non-response on prevalence estimates. Conclusions: Response rates are commonly reported from blindness prevalence surveys, and tend to be high. High response rates reduce—but do not eliminate—the risk of response bias. Assessment and reporting of potential response bias in blindness prevalence surveys could be greatly improved.

description: We present the results of a ~60-hr observational campaign with ALMA targeting a spectroscopically confirmed and lensed sub-$L^\star$ galaxy at z=6.07, identified during the ALMA Lensing Cluster Survey (ALCS). We sample the dust continuum emission from rest frame 90 to 370 $μ$m at six different frequencies and set constraining upper limits on the molecular gas line emission and content via CO(7-6) and [CI](2-1) for two lensed images with $μ\gtrsim20$. Complementing these sub-mm observations with deep optical and near-IR photometry and spectroscopy with JWST, we find this galaxy to form stars at a rate of SFR~7 Msun/yr, ~50-70% of which is obscured by dust. This is consistent with what is expected for a $M_\star$~7.5$\times10^{8}$ Msun object by extrapolating the $M_\star$-obscured SFR fraction relation at z<2.5 and with observations at 5

description: We use the recently completed redshift-distance survey of nearby early-type galaxies (ENEAR) to measure the dipole component of the peculiar velocity field to a depth of cz ~ 6000 km/s. The sample consists of 1145 galaxies brighter than m_B=14.5 and cz < 7000 km/s, uniformly distributed over the whole sky, and 129 fainter cluster galaxies within the same volume. Most of the Dn-sigma distances were obtained from new spectroscopic and photometric observations conducted by this project, ensuring the homogeneity of the data over the whole sky. These 1274 galaxies are objectively assigned to 696 objects -- 282 groups/clusters and 414 isolated galaxies. We find that within a volume of radius ~ 6000 km/s, the best-fitting bulk flow has an amplitude of |vbulk| =220 +/- 42 km/s in the CMB restframe, pointing towards l=304 +/- 16 degrees, b=25 +/- 11 degrees. The error in the amplitude includes statistical, sampling and possible systematic errors. This solution is in excellent agreement with that obtained by the SFI Tully-Fisher survey. Our results suggest that most of the motion of the Local Group is due to fluctuations within 6000 km/s, in contrast to recent claims of large amplitude bulk motions on larger scales.

description: Age-related reference intervals (RIs) of aortic pulse wave velocity (Ao-PWV) obtained from a large healthy population are lacking in South America. The aims of this study were to determine Ao-PWV RIs in a cohort of healthy children and adolescents from Argentina and to generate year-to-year percentile curves. Ao-PWV was measured in 1000 healthy subjects non-exposed to traditional cardiovascular risk factors (Age: 10–22 y. o., 56% males). First, we evaluated if RIs for males and females were necessaries (correlation and covariate analysis). Second, mean (M) and standard deviation (SD) age-related equations were obtained for cf-PWV, using parametric regression methods based on fractional polynomials. Third, age-specific (year to year) percentiles curves (for all, males and females children and adolescents) were generated using the standard normal distribution. They were, age-specific 1st, 2.5th, 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, 95th, 97.5th and 99th percentile curves and values. After covariate analysis (i.e., adjusting by age, jugulum-symphysis distance, body weight and height), specific RIs for males and females of children and adolescents were evidenced as necessaries. The equations were For all subjects: Ao-PWV_Mean = 4.98 + 12.86x10−5 Age3. Ao-PWV_SD = 0.47 + 21.00x10−6Age3. For girls: Ao-PWV_Mean = 5.07 + 10.23x10−5Age3. Ao-PWV_SD = 0.50 + 10.00x10−6Age3. For boys: Ao-PWV_Mean = 4.87 + 15.81x10−5Age3. Ao-PWV_SD = 0.46 + 22.34x10−6Age3. Our study provides the largest database to-date concerning Ao-PWV in healthy children and adolescents in Argentina. Age-related equations (M and SD values) for Ao-PWV are reported by the first time. Specific RIs and percentiles of Ao-PWV are now available according to age and sex for an Argentinian population.

Isospin Considerations in Correlations of Pions and $B$ mesons

description: The correlations between a $B$ meson and a pion produced nearby in phase space should respect isospin reflection symmetry $I_3 \to -I_3$. Thus, one generally expects similar $π^+ B^0$ and $π^- B^+$ correlations (non-exotic channels), and similar $π^- B^0$ and $π^+ B^+$ correlations (exotic channels). Exceptions include (a) fragmentation processes involving exchange of quarks with the producing system, (b) misidentification of charged kaons as charged pions, and (c) effects of decay products of the associated $\overline{B}$. All of these can affect the apparent signal for correlations of charged $B$ mesons with charged hadrons. The identification of the flavor of neutral $B$ mesons through the decay $B^0 \to K^{*0} J/ψ$ requires good particle identification in order that the decay $K^{*0} \to K^+ π^-$ not be mistaken for $\overline{K}^{*0} \to K^- π^+$, in which case the correlations of neutral $B$ mesons with hadrons can be underestimated.

description: In order to search for intensity fluctuations on the HCN(1--0) and HCO$^+$(1--0) line profiles which could arise due to possible small-scale inhomogeneous structure long-time observations of the S140 and S199 high-mass star-forming cores were carried out. The data were processed by the Fourier filtering method. Line temperature fluctuations that exceed noise level were detected. Assuming the cores consist of a large number of randomly moving small thermal fragments a total number of fragments is $\sim 4\cdot 10^6$ for the region with linear size $\sim 0.1$~pc in S140 and $\sim 10^6$ for the region with linear size $\sim 0.3$~pc in S199. Physical parameters of fragments in S140 were obtained from detailed modeling of the HCN emission in a framework of the clumpy cloud model.

description: The core problem in optimal control theory applied to quantum systems is to determine the temporal shape of an applied field in order to maximize the expectation of value of some physical observable. The functional which maps the control field into a given value of the observable defines a Quantum Control Landscape (QCL). Studying the topological and structural features of these landscapes is of critical importance for understanding the process of finding the optimal fields required to effectively control the system, specially when external constraints are placed on both the field $ε(t)$ and the available control duration $T$. In this work we analyze the rich structure of the $QCL$ of the paradigmatic Landau-Zener two-level model, studying several features of the optimized solutions, such as their abundance, spatial distribution and fidelities. We also inspect the optimization trajectories in parameter space. We are able rationalize several geometrical and topological aspects of the QCL of this simple model and the effects produced by the constraints. Our study opens the door for a deeper understanding of the QCL of general quantum systems.

Summary:Based on a recent formalization of pathways-based coordination of care, this paper presents a simulation framework to guide design, development, and evaluation of architectures to produce value in health outcomes, i.e. to reduce cost while improving quality. The Pathways technology is a coordination structure that offers a potential for application to at-risk populations, but also more generally where services exist but are not efficiently nor cost-effectively deployed.

description: A grid of synthetic horizontal-branch (SHB) models based on HB evolutionary tracks with improved physics has been constructed to reconsider the theoretical calibration of the dependence of M_v(RR) on metallicity in globular clusters, and the slope of the mean -[Fe/H] relation. The SHB models confirm Lee's earlier finding (Lee 1991) that the slope of the -[Fe/H] relation is itself a function of the metallicity range considered, and that in addition, for a given [Fe/H], RR Lyrae luminosities depend on HB morphology. This is due to the fact that HB stars pass through the RR Lyrae instability strip at different evolutionary stages, depending on their original position on the HB. At [Fe/H]=-1.9, and for HB type 0, the models yield M_v(RR)=0.47 \pm 0.10. The mean slope for the zero-age HB models is 0.204. Since there is no simple universal relation between M_v(RR) and metallicity that is applicable to all globular clusters, the HB morphology of each individual cluster must be taken into account, in addition to [Fe/H], in deriving the appropriate M_v(RR). Taking HB morphology into account, we find that the slope of the mean -[Fe/H] relation varies between 0.36 for the clusters with galactocentric distances R_gc less than 6 kpc and 0.22 for clusters with 6

description: The infrared (IR) range is extremely useful in the context of chemical abundance studies of the gas-phase interstellar medium (ISM) due to the large variety of ionic species traced in this regime, the negligible effects from dust attenuation or temperature stratification, and the amount of data that has been and will be released in the coming years. Taking advantage of available IR emission lines, we analysed the chemical content of the gas-phase ISM in a sample of 131 Star-Forming Galaxies (SFGs) and 73 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). Particularly, we derived the chemical content via their total oxygen abundance in combination with nitrogen and sulfur abundances, and with the ionisation parameter. We used a new version of the code HII-CHI-Mistry-IR v3.1 which allows us to estimate log(N/O), 12+log(O/H), log(U), and, for the first time, 12+log(S/H) from IR emission lines, which can be applied to both SFGs and AGNs. We tested that the estimations from this new version, that only considers sulfur lines for the derivation of sulfur abundances, are compatible with previous studies. While most of the SFGs and AGNs show solar log(N/O) abundances, we found a large spread in the log(S/O) relative abundances. Specifically, we found extremely low log(S/O) values (1/10th solar) in some SFGs and AGNs with solar-like oxygen abundances. This result warns against the use of optical and IR sulfur emission lines to estimate oxygen abundances when no prior estimation of log(S/O) is provided.

description: We have discovered that the spectrum of the well-known dwarf nova EM Cyg is contaminated by light from a K2-5V star (in addition to the K-type mass donor star). The K2-5V star contributes approximately 16 per cent of the light from the system and if not taken into account has a considerable effect upon radial velocity measurements of the mass donor star. We obtain a new radial velocity amplitude for the mass donor star of K2 = 202 +/- 3 km/s, which compares with the value of K2 = 135 +/- 3 km/s obtained in Stover, Robinson & Nather's classic 1981 study of EM Cyg. The revised value of the amplitude combined with a measurement of rotational broadening of the mass donor vsini = 140 +/- 6 km/s, leads to a new mass ratio of q = M2/M1 = 0.88 +/- 0.05. This solves a long standing problem with EM Cyg because Stover et al.'s measurements indicated a mass ratio q > 1, a value which should have led to dynamically unstable mass transfer for the secondary mass deduced by Stover et al. The revised value of the mass ratio combined with the orbital inclination i = 67 +/- 2 degrees leads to masses of 0.99 +/- 0.12 Msun and 1.12 +/- 0.08 Msun for the mass donor and white dwarf respectively. The mass donor is evolved, since it has a later spectral type (K3) than its mass would imply. We discuss whether the K star could be physically associated with EM Cyg or not, and present the results of the spectroscopic study.

description: The emergence of the disc in our Galaxy and the relation of the thick and thin disc formation and evolution is still a matter of debate. The chemo-dynamical characterization of disc stars is key to resolve this question, in particular at parameter regimes where both disc components overlap, such as the region around [Fe/H] $\sim$ $-0.7$ corresponding to the thin disc metal-poor end. In this paper we re-assess the recent detection of a metal-poor extension of stars moving with thin-disc-like rotational velocities between -2 < [Fe/H] < -0.7 that was made based on metallicity estimates obtained from photometric data and their rotational velocity distribution. We explore the chemo-dynamical properties of metal-poor stars within the recent Gaia third data release (DR3), which includes the first catalogue of metallicity estimates from the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) experiment. We complement them with the two largest high-resolution ($λ/dλ$ > 20,000) spectroscopic surveys available, the GALAH DR3 and the APOGEE DR17. We confirm that there are high angular-momentum stars moving in thin-disc-like orbits, i.e., with high angular momentum $\rm L_{z}/J_{tot}$ > 0.95, and close to the Galactic plane, $\rm |Z_{max}|$ < 750 pc, reaching metallicity values down to [Fe/H] $\sim-1.5$. We also find tentative evidence of stars moving on such orbits at lower metallicities, down to [Fe/H] $\sim -2.5$, although in smaller numbers. Based on their chemical trends the fast rotators with [Fe/H] < -1 would have formed in a medium less chemically evolved than the bulk of the thick disc. Fast rotators with chemical abundances typical of the thin disc appear at metallicities between -1 < [Fe/H] < -0.7.

Multicolour Optical Imaging of IR-Warm Seyfert Galaxies. II. Optical and IR Properties and their Correlations

description: This paper is the second in a series, studying the optical properties of a sample of mid-IR Warm Seyfert galaxies and a control sample of mid-IR Cold galaxies. The present paper is devoted to aperture photometry. We discuss nuclear (within the central 2 kpc) and disk optical properties and their correlations with IR properties. We find a transition in the observed optical and IR properties from the Cold to the Warm Seyfert 2 and Seyfert 1 samples, with a partial overlap between the first two. This is in the sense of: (i) increasing nuclear optical luminosities and bluer nuclear colours (ii) decreasing disk optical luminosities and sizes (iii) increasing 25 micron luminosities, decreasing far-IR excess L(IR)/L(B) and IR-loudness a(V,25) or a(V,60) and bluer a(25,60) and a(12,100) colours. We interpret these results as indicating larger dust content, and disk star formation for Seyfert 2s, while the optical properties of Seyfert 1s are mostly dominated by their nuclei. The 25 micron emission of the Warm sample is mainly due to the AGN thermal component, although in Seyfert 2s it is probably further enhanced by disk star formation. Their far-IR (60-100 micron) luminosity on the other hand, traces mainly emission at large scales (host disks). In the Cold galaxies, the bulk of IR emission at all wavelengths appears to be dominated by dust in their disks.

description: As the threats of small drones increase, not only the detection but also the classification of small drones has become important. Many recent studies have applied an approach to utilize the micro-Doppler signature (MDS) for the small drone classification by using frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radars. In this letter, we propose a novel method to extract the MDS images of the small drones with the FMCW radar. Moreover, we propose a light convolutional neural network (CNN) whose structure is straightforward, and the number of parameters is quite small for fast classification. The proposed method contributes to increasing the classification accuracy by improving the quality of MDS images. We classified the small drones with the MDS images extracted by the conventional method and the proposed method through the proposed CNN. The experimental results showed that the total classification accuracy was increased by 10.00 % due to the proposed method. The total classification accuracy was recorded at 97.14 % with the proposed MDS extraction method and the proposed light CNN.
