Given the condition that protein conformation and activity are highly susceptible to environment factors such as temperature and pH, evaluation of protein conformation and activity is urgently needed in many fields. For example, most protein drugs need a stable and proper environment during production, storage and transportation, and it's an enormous challenge to maintain protein activity throughout the whole process. Therefore, it's necessary to ensure the safety and effectiveness of protein drugs by monitoring their activity before use. In our study, we presented an improved method for non-destructive evaluation of protein conformation and biological activity by terahertz spectroscopy combined with t-SNE-XGBoost. Firstly, bovine serum albumin (BSA) samples heated to different temperature were measured with THz-TDS. The obtained results indicated that native-conformation BSA will undergo transient states in the process of temperature induced denaturation. However, for any single given sample, it's difficult to identify its conformation and activity directly by using the measured raw terahertz data. Therefore, we applied several different algorithms to the raw data for recognition of BSA samples with different conformation and activity induced by temperature. Finally, the models obtained by different algorithms were evaluated by calculating the root mean standard error of prediction (RMSEP) and the correlation coefficient of prediction (Rp). The THz-TDS plus t-SNE-XGBoost proved to be an effective non-destructive and label-free method for evaluation of protein conformation and activity. It can provide a new technique in many applications, such as pharmaceutical industry, clinical diagnosis and quality control.

This study presents a fuzzy neural network based non-linear equaliser to diminish the non-linearities in a coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) system. The numerical results show that the proposed technique based CO-OFDM system outperforms the CO-OFDM system without non-linear equaliser by 5 and 7.5% EVM performance, and 2.36 and 4.87 dB Q-factor performance after 1000 km transmission and -3 dBm input launch power at a bit rate of 40 and 80 Gbps, respectively. Moreover, it has been generally accepted in statistics that the rank-based Wilcoxon methodology provide more robust results in a contradiction of outliers. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyse fuzzy neural network based non-linear equaliser and compare the results with that of Wilcoxon approach fuzzy neural network based non-linear equaliser.

Natural radioactive substances that are produced because of industrial processes pose a risk to both the envi-ronment and people. An extensive analysis of the radiological properties of industrial byproducts was undertaken in this work, and the risks for both indoor and outdoor environments were assessed based on activity concen-trations. The machinelearning technique of artificial neural networks was used with various training algorithms to predict the internal and external hazards from these industrial byproducts. The findings demonstrated that, with the exception of incinerated sewage sludge ash, metakaolin, marble powder, nickel slag, pyrite ash, silica fume, steel slag, and glass waste powder, every industrial byproduct examined poses potential indoor and out-door dangers. All backpropagation training algorithms that were used showed high prediction, according to the neural networks. However, when compared to the Bayesian Regularization and Scaled Conjugate Gradient backpropagation training algorithms, the Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation technique had the best per-formance indicators for training, validation, and testing. The results can provide reference information for developing a framework for monitoring hazards and their accompanying precise management.

BACKGROUND: Recruiting patients for clinical trials of potential therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains a major challenge, with demand for trial participants at an all-time high. The AD treatment R&D pipeline includes around 112 agents. In the United States alone, 150 clinical trials are seeking 70,000 participants. Most people with early cognitive impairment consult primary care providers, who may lack time, diagnostic skills and awareness of local clinical trials. machinelearning and predictive analytics offer promise to boost enrollment by predicting which patients have prodromal AD, and which will go on to develop AD. OBJECTIVES: The authors set out to develop a machinelearning predictive model that identifies prodromal AD patients in the general population, to aid early AD detection by primary care physicians and timely referral to expert sites for biomarker confirmation of diagnosis and clinical trial enrollment. DESIGN: The authors use a classification machine learning algorithm to extract patterns within healthcare claims and prescription data three years prior to AD diagnosis/AD drug initiation. SETTING: The study focused on subjects included within proprietary IQVIA US data assets (claims and prescription databases). Patient information was extracted from January 2010 to July 2018, for cohorts aged between 50 and 85 years. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 88,298,289 subjects aged between 50 and 85 years were identified. For the positive cohort, 667,288 subjects were identified who had 24 months of medical history and at least one record with AD or AD treatment. For the negative cohort, 3,670,254 patients were selected who had a similar length of medical history and who were matched to positive cohort subjects based on the prevalence rate. The scoring cohort was selected based on availability of recent medical data of 2-5 years and included 72,670,283 subjects between the ages of 50 and 85 years. INTERVENTION (if any): None. MEASUREMENTS: A list of clinic

In this paper, predictive models of hourly global solar radiation (HGSR) at one-hour step ahead have been developed by adopting a new methodology. It consists of the association of a supervised machine learning algorithm named Support Vector machine (SVM) with time series principle. A dataset of HGSR, collected at Ghardaia city in the south of Algeria, has been used. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the developed models, we have used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Integral (KSI) in addition to the conventional metrics (RMSE, NRMSE, NMBE, MAPE, and R). The results showed that accurate forecasts of HGSR at one-hour step ahead have been obtained by considering only its previous values at two-step forward. The predictive performances of the selected SVM model have been compared with those of some models available in the literature. This work proved the ability of the investigated machine learning algorithm with time series principle in predicting HGSR with good accuracy.

Background Severe sepsis and septic shock are among the leading causes of death in the United States and sepsis remains one of the most expensive conditions to diagnose and treat. Accurate early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the risk of adverse patient outcomes, but the efficacy of traditional rule-based screening methods is limited. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a machine learning algorithm (MLA) for severe sepsis prediction up to 48 h before onset using a diverse patient dataset. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on datasets composed of de-identified electronic health records collected between 2001 and 2017, including 510,497 inpatient and emergency encounters from 461 health centers collected between 2001 and 2015, and 20,647 inpatient and emergency encounters collected in 2017 from a community hospital. MLA performance was compared to commonly used disease severity scoring systems and was evaluated at 0, 4, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h prior to severe sepsis onset. Results 270,438 patients were included in analysis. At time of onset, the MLA demonstrated an AUROC of 0.931 (95% CI 0.914, 0.948) and a diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of 53.105 on a testing dataset, exceeding MEWS (0.725, P < .001;DOR 4.358), SOFA (0.716;P < .001;DOR 3.720), and SIRS (0.655;P < .001;DOR 3.290). For prediction 48 h prior to onset, the MLA achieved an AUROC of 0.827 (95% CI 0.806, 0.848) on a testing dataset. On an external validation dataset, the MLA achieved an AUROC of 0.948 (95% CI 0.942, 0.954) at the time of onset, and 0.752 at 48 h prior to onset. Conclusions The MLA accurately predicts severe sepsis onset up to 48 h in advance using only readily available vital signs extracted from the existing patient electronic health records. Relevant implications for clinical practice include improved patient outcomes from early severe sepsis detection and treatment.

In order to effectively prevent sports injuries caused by collisions in basketball training, realize efficient shooting, and reduce collisions, the machine learning algorithm was applied to intelligent robot for path planning in this study. First of all, combined with the basketball motion trajectory model, the sport recognition in basketball training was analyzed. Second, the mathematical model of the basketball motion trajectory of the shooting motion was established, and the factors affecting the shooting were analyzed. Thirdly, on this basis, the machinelearning-based improved Q-learningalgorithm was proposed, the path planning of the moving robot was realized, and the obstacle avoidance behavior was accomplished effectively. In the path planning, the principle of fuzzy controller was applied, and the obstacle ultrasonic signals acquired around the robot were taken as input to effectively avoid obstacles. Finally, the robot was able to approach the target point while avoiding obstacles. The results of simulation experiment show that the obstacle avoidance path obtained by the improved Q-learningalgorithm is flatter, indicating that the algorithm is more suitable for the obstacle avoidance of the robot. Besides, it only takes about 250 s for the robot to find the obstacle avoidance path to the target state for the first time, which is far lower than the 700 s of the previous original algorithm. As a result, the fuzzy controller applied to the basketball robot can effectively avoid the obstacles in the robot movement process, and the motion trajectory curve obtained is relatively smooth. Therefore, the proposed machine learning algorithm has favorable obstacle avoidance effect when it is applied to path planning in basketball training, and can effectively prevent sports injuries in basketball activities.

Background and objective: Patients who survive sepsis in the intensive care unit (ICU) (sepsis survivors) have an increased risk of long-term mortality and ICU readmission. We aim to identify the risk factors for in-hospital mortality in sepsis survivors with later ICU readmission and visualize the quantitative relationship between the individual risk factors and mortality by applying machinelearning (ML) algorithm. Methods: Data were obtained from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database for sepsis and non-sepsis ICU survivors who were later readmitted to the ICU. The data on the first day of ICU readmission and the in-hospital mortality was combined for the ML algorithm modeling and the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) value of the correlation between the risk factors and the outcome. Results: Among the 2970 enrolled patients, in-hospital mortality during ICU readmission was significantly higher in sepsis survivors ( n = 2228) than nonsepsis survivors ( n = 742) (50.4% versus 30.7%, P < 0.001). The ML algorithm identified 18 features that were associated with a risk of mortality in these groups;among these, BUN, age, weight, and minimum heart rate were shared by both groups, and the remaining mean systolic pressure, urine output, albumin, platelets, lactate, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), potassium, pCO2, pO2, respiration rate, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score for eye-opening, anion gap, sex and temperature were specific to previous sepsis survivors. The ML algorithm also calculated the quantitative contribution and noteworthy threshold of each factor to the risk of mortality in sepsis survivors. Conclusion: 14 specific parameters with corresponding thresholds were found to be associated with the in-hospital mortality of sepsis survivors during the ICU readmission. The construction of advanced ML techniques could support the analysis and development of predictive models that can be used to support the decisions and

Traditional programming has already cleared its path to machinelearning. With the abundance of data that is available in different applications and fields, it has grown exponentially in the past years. With the available data, machinelearning models can predict the output. The different models that have been used have transformed a wide range of real-world applications. Workplace safety is one of the most important factors that make an organization successful. Every organization has a plan that describes what employees should do in order to prevent injury, but still, accidents happen at the workplace. Accident related data is available with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). There are different machine learning algorithms that are used to predict the required output. In this paper, the authors are investigating different machine learning algorithms and their accuracy to the predicted results.
