According to news reporting from Madrid, Spain, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “The Europ ean Cross-Cultural Neuropsychological Test Battery (CNTB) has been proposed as a comprehensive battery for cognitive assessment, reducing the potential impact o f cultural variables. In this validation study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnos tic capacity of CNTB for the assessment of participants with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) compared to the Neuronorma battery (NN) according to the International Cl assification of Cognitive Disorders in MS criteria, and to develop machine learn ing (ML) algorithms to improve the diagnostic capacity of CNTB and to select the most relevant tests.” The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Complutense Univ ersity, “Sixty pwMS and 60 healthy controls (HC) with no differences in sex, age , or years of education were enrolled. All participants completed the CNTB and p wMS were also examined with NN, depression, and fatigue scales. Impaired domains and cognitive phenotypes were defined following ICCoDiMS based on CNTB scores a nd compared to NN, according to -1SD and -1.5SD cutoff scores. To select the mos t relevant tests, random forest (RF) was performed for different binary classifi cations. PwMS showed a lower performance compared to HC with medium-large effect sizes, in episodic memory, executive function, attention, and processing speed, in accordance with their characteristic cognitive profile. There were no differ ences in impaired domains or cognitive phenotypes between CNTB and NN, highlight ing the role of episodic memory, executive function, attention, and processing s peed tests. The most relevant tests identified by RF were consistent with inter- group comparisons and allowed a better classification than SD cutoff scores. CNT B is a valid test for cognitive diagnosis in pwMS, including key tests for the m ost frequently impaired cognitive domains in MS.”

Local-level algorithms assist in selecting suitable WQIs ta ilored to specific water sources and quality requirements, while global-level al gorithm evaluates WQI robustness across diverse water sources. We also provide a warning system to mitigate differences in water quality evaluation using WQIs a nd a valuable tool (based on the features’ importance) for selecting ML models t hat prioritize the water parameters’ significance. The framework’s design draws upon conclusions from a case study involving the forecast and comparison of two WQIs for the Brahmaputra River.”

    University of Tirana Reports Findings in Colon Cancer (Robust prediction of colo rectal cancer via gut microbiome 16S rRNA sequencing data)

    64-65页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – New research on Oncology - Colon Cance r is the subject of a report. According to news originating from Tirana, Albania , by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “The study addresses the challenge of utilizing human gut microbiome data for the early detection of colorectal can cer (CRC). The research emphasizes the potential of using machine learning techn iques to analyze complex microbiome datasets, providing a non-invasive approach to identifying CRC-related microbial markers.” Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of T irana, “The primary hypothesis is that a robust machine learning-based analysis of 16S rRNA microbiome data can identify specific microbial features that serve as effective biomarkers for CRC detection, overcoming the limitations of classic al statistical models in high-dimensional settings. The primary objective of thi s study is to explore and validate the potential of the human microbiome, specif ically in the colon, as a valuable source of biomarkers for colorectal cancer (C RC) detection and progression. The focus is on developing a classifier that effe ctively predicts the presence of CRC and normal samples based on the analysis of three previously published faecal 16S rRNA sequencing datasets. To achieve the aim, various machine learning techniques are employed, including random forest ( RF), recursive feature elimination (RFE) and a robust correlation-based techniqu e known as the fuzzy forest (FF). The study utilizes these methods to analyse th e three datasets, comparing their performance in predicting CRC and normal sampl es. The emphasis is on identifying the most relevant microbial features (taxa) a ssociated with CRC development via partial dependence plots, i.e. a machine lear ning tool focused on explainability, visualizing how a feature influences the pr edicted outcome. The analysis of the three faecal 16S rRNA sequencing datasets r eveals the consistent and superior predictive performance of the FF compared to the RF and RFE. Notably, FF proves effective in addressing the correlation probl em when assessing the importance of microbial taxa in explaining the development of CRC. The results highlight the potential of the human microbiome as a non-in vasive means to detect CRC and underscore the significance of employing FF for i mproved predictive accuracy.”

    Investigators from University of Manchester Report New Data on Machine Learning (Multi-scale Computational Design of Metalorganic Frameworks for Carbon Capture Using Machine Learning and Multi-objective Optimization)

    65-66页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – Research findings on Machine Learning are discussed in a new report. According to news reporting originating from Manc hester, United Kingdom, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “In this arti cle, we computationally design a series of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) optim ized for postcombustion carbon capture. Our workflow includes assembling buildin g blocks and topologies into an initial set of hypothetical MOFs, using genetic algorithms to optimize this initial set for high CO2/N-2 selectivity, and furthe r evaluating the top materials through process-level modeling of their performan ce in a modified Skarstrom cycle.” Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Manch ester, “We identify two groups of MOFs that exhibit excellent process performanc e: one with relatively small pores in the range of 3-5 & Aring; an d another with larger pores of 6-30 & Aring;. The performance of t he first group is driven effectively by the exclusion of N-2 from adsorption, wi th binding sites able to accommodate only CO2 molecules. The second group, with larger pores, features binding sites where CO2 molecules form multiple interacti ons with oxygen and functional groups of several building blocks, leading to a h igh CO2/N-2 selectivity. Within the employed process model and its assumptions, the materials generated in this study substantially outperform 13X reference zeo lites, in silico optimized ion-exchanged LTA zeolites, and CALF-20. While this s tudy does not address the synthesizability, stability, or water interactions of the proposed materials, it marks a significant step forward in developing practi cal MOFs for carbon capture in three key areas. First, it introduces a generativ e workflow based on the process-level performance of new materials. Second, it i dentifies structural features of optimal MOFs for carbon capture, which can serv e as design guidelines for future development.”

According to news reporting originating in C hongqing, People’s Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “E arly recurrence is the leading cause of death for patients with perihilar cholan giocarcinoma (pCCA) after surgery. Identifying high-risk patients preoperatively is important.” The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Third Military Medica l University - Army Medical University, “This study aimed to construct a preoper ative prediction model for the early recurrence of pCCA patients planned treatme nt with curative resection. This study ultimately enrolled 400 pCCA patients aft er curative resection in five hospitals between 2013 and 2019. They were randoml y divided into training (n=300) and testing groups (n=100) at a ratio of 3:1. As sociated variables were identified via LASSO regression. Four machine learning m odels were constructed: support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), logist ic regression, and K-nearest neighbors (KNN). The predictive ability of the mode ls was evaluated via receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, precision-r ecall curve (PRC) curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). KaplanMeier surviva l curves were drawn for the high/low-risk population. Five factors, CA19-9, tumo r size, total bilirubin, hepatic artery invasion, and portal vein invasion, were selected by LASSO regression. In both the training and testing groups, the ROC curve (AUC: 0.983 vs 0.952) and the PRC (0.981 vs 0.939) showed that RF was the best. The cutoff value for distinguishing high- and low-risk patients was 0.51. KM survival curves revealed that in both groups, there was a significant differe nce in RFS between high- and low-risk patients (P <0.001).”
