According to news report ing out of London, United Kingdom, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Function al seizures (FS) look like epileptic seizures but are characterized by a lack of epileptic activity in the brain. Approximately one in five referrals to epileps y clinics are diagnosed with this condition.” Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from University College London (UCL), “FS are diagnosed by recording a seizure using video-electroenceph alography (EEG), from which an expert inspects the semiology and the EEG. Howeve r, this method can be expensive and inaccessible and can present significant pat ient burden. No single biomarker has been found to diagnose FS. However, the cur rent limitations in FS diagnosis could be improved with machine learning to clas sify signal features extracted from EEG, thus providing a potentially very usefu l aid to clinicians. The current study has investigated the use of seizure-free EEG signals with machine learning to identify subjects with FS from those with e pilepsy. The dataset included interictal and preictal EEG recordings from 48 sub jects with FS (mean age = 34.76 ? 10.55 years, 14 males) and 29 subjects with ep ilepsy (mean age = 38.95 ? 13.93 years, 18 males) from which various statistical , temporal, and spectral features from the five EEG frequency bands were extract ed then analyzed with threshold accuracy, five machine learning classifiers, and two feature importance approaches. The highest classification accuracy reported from thresholding was 60.67%. However, the temporal features were the best performing, with the highest balanced accuracy reported by the machine learning models: 95.71% with all frequency bands combined and a su pport vector machine classifier. Machine learning was much more effective than u sing individual features and could be a powerful aid in FS diagnosis.”

According to news reporting from Sydney, Australia, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Spatially explicit prediction of soil o rganic carbon (SOC) serves as a crucial foundation for effective land management strategies aimed at mitigating soil degradation and assessing carbon sequestrat ion potential.” The news editors obtained a quote from the research from ARC Centre of Excellenc e for Climate Extremes: “Here, using more than 1000 in situ observations, we tra ined two machine learning models (a random forest model and a * * k* * -means co upled with multiple linear regression model) and one process-based model (the ve rtically resolved MIcrobial-MIneral Carbon Stabilization, MIMICS, model) to pred ict the SOC stocks of the top 30 cm of soil in Australia. Parameters of MIMICS w ere optimised for different site groupings using two distinct approaches: plant functional types (MIMICS-PFT) and the most influential environmental factors (MI MICS-ENV). All models showed good performance with respect to SOC predictions, w ith an * * R* * 2 value greater than 0.8 during out-of-sample validation, with random forest bein g the most accurate; moreover, it was found that SOC in forests is more predicta ble than that in non-forest soils excluding croplands. The performance of contin ental-scale SOC predictions by MIMICS-ENV is better than that by MIMICS-PFT espe cially in non-forest soils. Digital maps of terrestrial SOC stocks generated usi ng all of the models showed a similar spatial distribution, with higher values i n south-eastern and south-western Australia, but the magnitude of the estimated SOC stocks varied. The mean ensemble estimate of SOC stocks was 30.3 t ha ~(-1), with * * k* * -means coupled with multiple linear regression generating the hi ghest estimate (mean SOC stocks of 38.15 t ha ~(-1)) and MIMICS-PFT generating the lowest estimate (mean SOC stocks of 24.29 t ha ~(-1)).”

According to news reporting out of Dalian, People’s Repub lic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Scandium-doped aluminum nitri de with a wurtzite structure has emerged as a promising ferroelectric material d ue to its exceptional physical and chemical properties and its compatibility wit h existing processing techniques. However, its high coercive voltage presents a substantial challenge for its potential applications.” Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Dalian Universi ty of Technology, “To effectively reduce this high coercive voltage, it is cruci al to comprehensively understand the factors governing polarization reversal pro cesses. Unfortunately, a unified set of pivotal factors has not yet been identif ied. Herein, machine-learning regression models were developed to predict the un iform polarization reversal barrier () using data sets comprising 41 binary and 113 simple ternary wurtzite materials. Features were extracted based on elementa l properties, crystal parameters, mechanical properties, and electronic properti es. Calculation of and partial feature extraction were performed using first-pri nciples methods. The results revealed that the average cation-ion potential is t he primary intrinsic factor influencing. Additionally, the maximum value of the relative height ratio of cations to anions, cell parameter ratio, and average ca tion Mendeleev number were found to have secondary impacts. This study addresses gaps in the current understanding of , by considering multiple influencing fact ors beyond a single material system.”

According to news reporting out of Rabat, Morocco, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “Rabies is a major zoonotic disease legally notifiable in Morocco and elsewhere. Given the burden of rabies and its impact on public health, several national control programs have been implemented since 1986, without achieving their expected objectives.” Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Institut Agronomiqu e et Veterinaire Hassan II, “The aim of this study was to design a predictive an alysis of rabies in Morocco. The expected outcome was the construction of probab ilistic diagrams that can guide actions for the integrated control of this disea se, involving all stakeholders, in the country. Such modeling is an essential st ep in operational epidemiology to optimize expenditure of public funds allocated to the integrated strategy for fighting this disease. The methodology employed combined the use of geospatial analysis tools (kriging) and artificial intellige nce models (Machine Learning). In order to investigate the link between the risk of rabies within a territorial municipality (commune) and its socio-economic si tuation, the following data were analyzed: (1) health data: reported animal case s of rabies between 2004 and 2021 and data obtained through the ArcGIS kriging t ool (Geospatial data); (2) demographic and socio-economic data. We compared seve ral Machine Learning models. Of these, the ‘Imbalanced-Xgboost’ model associated with kriging yielded the best results. After optimizing this model, we mapped o ur results for better visualization. The obtained results complement and consoli date previous study in this field with greater accuracy, showing a strong correl ation between a commune’s socio-economic status, its geographical location and i ts risk level of rabies. From this, 399 out of the 1546 communes have been ident ified as high-risk areas, accounting for 25.8% of the total number of communes. Under this risk-based approach, the results of these analyses make it practical to take targeted decisions for rabies prevention and control, as w ell as canine population control, in a territorial commune according to its risk level. Such an approach allows obvious optimized distribution of financial reso urces and adaptation of the control actions to be taken. The study highlights al so the importance of using innovative technologies to refine epidemiological app roaches and fill gaps in field data.”
