According to news reporting out of Technic al University Valencia (TU Valencia) by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Turbid ity is one of the crucial parameters of water quality. Even though many commerci al devices, low-cost sensors, and remote sensing data can efficiently quantify t urbidity, they are not valid tools for the classification it." Funders for this research include European Union Nextgenerationeu; Generalitat V alenciana; Agencia Estatal De Investigacion. Our news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Technical Univer sity Valencia (TU Valencia): "In this paper, we design, calibrate, and test a no vel optical low-cost sensor for turbidity quantification and classification. The sensor is based on an RGB light source and a light detector. The analyzed sampl es are characterized by turbidity values from 0.02 to 60 NTUs, and have four dif ferent sources. These samples were generated to represent natural turbidity sour ces and leaves in the marine areas close to agricultural lands. The data are gat hered using 64 different combinations of light, generating complex matrix data. Machine learning models are compared to analyze this data, including training, v alidation, and test datasets. Moreover, different alternatives for data preproce ssing and feature selection are assessed. Concerning the quantification of turbi dity, the best results were obtained using averaged data and principal component s analyses in conjunction with exponential gaussian process regression, achievin g an R2 of 0.979."

    Center for Genomic Regulation Reports Findings in Leukemia (Integration of trans cription regulation and functional genomic data reveals lncRNA SNHG6's role in h ematopoietic differentiation and leukemia)

According to news reporting out of Catalonia, Spain, b y NewsRx editors, research stated, "Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are pivotal p layers in cellular processes, and their unique cell-type specific expression pat terns render them attractive biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Yet, the functi onal roles of most lncRNAs remain enigmatic." Financial supporters for this research include Israel Science Foundation, Israel Cancer Association. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Center for Genomic Regulation, "To address the need to identify new druggable lncRNAs, we developed a comprehensive approach integrating transcription factor binding data with oth er genetic features to generate a machine learning model, which we have called I NFLAMeR (Identifying Novel Functional LncRNAs with Advanced Machine Learning Res ources). INFLAMeR was trained on high-throughput CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) s creens across seven cell lines, and the algorithm was based on 71 genetic featur es. To validate the predictions, we selected candidate lncRNAs in the human K562 leukemia cell line and determined the impact of their knockdown (KD) on cell pr oliferation and chemotherapeutic drug response. We further performed transcripto mic analysis for candidate genes. Based on these findings, we assessed the lncRN A small nucleolar RNA host gene 6 (SNHG6) for its role in myeloid differentiatio n. Finally, we established a mouse K562 leukemia xenograft model to determine wh ether SNHG6 KD attenuates tumor growth in vivo. The INFLAMeR model successfully reconstituted CRISPRi screening data and predicted functional lncRNAs that were previously overlooked. Intensive cell-based and transcriptomic validation of nea rly fifty genes in K562 revealed cell type-specific functionality for 85% of the predicted lncRNAs. In this respect, our cell-based and transcriptomic ana lyses predicted a role for SNHG6 in hematopoiesis and leukemia. Consistent with its predicted role in hematopoietic differentiation, SNHG6 transcription is regu lated by hematopoiesisassociated transcription factors. SNHG6 KD reduced the pr oliferation of leukemia cells and sensitized them to differentiation. Treatment of K562 leukemic cells with hemin and PMA, respectively, demonstrated that SNHG6 inhibits red blood cell differentiation but strongly promotes megakaryocyte dif ferentiation. Using a xenograft mouse model, we demonstrate that SNHG6 KD attenu ated tumor growth in vivo. Our approach not only improved the identification and characterization of functional lncRNAs through genomic approaches in a cell typ e-specific manner, but also identified new lncRNAs with roles in hematopoiesis a nd leukemia."

However, its early diagnosis has no effective methods." Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the First Affiliated Ho spital of Guangxi Medical University, "First, gene expression data in GEO databa se were extracted, and the differential genes of diabetic tubulopathy were obtai ned. Immune-related genesets were generated by WGCNA and immune cell infiltratio n analyses. Then, differentially expressed immune-related cuproptosis genes (DEI CGs) were derived by the intersection of differential genes and genes related to cuproptosis and immune. To investigate the functions of DEICGs, volcano plots a nd GO term enrichment analysis was performed. Machine learning and protein-prote in interaction (PPI) network analysis helped to finally screen out hub genes. Th e diagnostic efficacy of them was evaluated by GSEA analysis, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, single-cell RNA sequencing and the Nephroseq websit e. The expression of hub genes at the animal level by STZ -induced and db/db DKD mouse models was further verified. Finally, three hub genes, including, and th at were up-regulated in both the test set GSE30122 and the validation set GSE305 29, were screened. The areas under the curve (AUCs) of ROC curves of hub genes w ere 0.911, 0.935 and 0.922, respectively, and 0.946 when taking as a whole. Corr elation analysis showed that the expression level of three hub genes demonstrate d their negative relationship with GFR, while those of displayed a positive corr elation with the level of serum creatinine. GSEA was enriched in inflammatory an d immune-related pathways. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing indicated the main dist ribution of in podocyte and mesangial cells, the high expression of in leukocyte s and the main localization of in the loop of Henle. In mouse models, all three hub genes were increased in both STZ-induced and db/db DKD models."

Financial supporters for this research include National Natural Science Foundati on of China. The news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Northeast Agricultu ral University: "However, these studies merely stack extracted features equivale ntly, neglecting the full utilization of fused information. This study utilizes hyperspectral and LiDAR data collected by UAVs to proposes a multimodal deep fus ion model (MulDFNet) using Transformer and multi-layer residuals. It utilizes a comprehensive competitive index (CCI-A) based on multidimensional phenotypes of maize to assess the competitiveness of weeds in farmland ecosystems. To validate the effectiveness of this model, a series of ablation studies were conducted in volving different modalities data, with/without the Transformer Encoder (TE) mod ules, and different fusion modules (shallow residual fusion module, deep feature fusion module). Additionally, a comparison was made with early/late stacking fu sion models, traditional machine learning models, and deep learning models from relevant studies. The results indicate that the multimodal deep fusion model uti lizing HSI, VI, and CHM data achieved a predictive effect of R2 = 0.903 (RMSE = 0.078). Notably, the best performance was observed during the five-leaf stage. T he combination of shallow and deep fusion modules demonstrated better predictive performance compared to a single fusion module. The positive impact of the TE m odule on model performance is evident, as its multi-head attention mechanism aid s in better capturing the relationships and importance between feature maps and competition indices, thereby enhancing the model's predictive capability."
