BACKGROUND: 7 Tesla (7T) apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps derived from diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) demonstrate improved image quality and spatial resolution over 3 Tesla (3T) ADC maps. However, 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) currently suffers from limited clinical unavailability, higher cost, and increased susceptibility to artifacts. PURPOSE: To address these issues, we propose a hybrid CNN-transformer model to synthesize high-resolution 7T ADC maps from multimodal 3T MRI...

BACKGROUND: Real-time prediction of the remaining surgery duration (RSD) is important for optimal scheduling of resources in the operating room. METHODS: We focus on the intraoperative prediction of RSD from laparoscopic video. An extensive evaluation of seven common deep learning models, a proposed one based on the Transformer architecture (TransLocal) and four baseline approaches, is presented. The proposed pipeline includes a CNN-LSTM for feature extraction from salient regions within short video segments and a Transformer with local attention mechanisms...

AIMS: Photoplethysmography- (PPG) based smartphone applications facilitate heart rate and rhythm monitoring in patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Despite an endorsement from the European Heart Rhythm Association, validation studies in this setting are lacking. Therefore, we evaluated the accuracy of PPG-derived heart rate and rhythm classification in subjects with an established diagnosis of AF in unsupervised real-world conditions. METHODS AND RESULTS: Fifty consecutive patients were enrolled, 4 weeks before undergoing AF ablation...

Collective motion is ubiquitous in nature; groups of animals, such as fish, birds, and ungulates appear to move as a whole, exhibiting a rich behavioral repertoire that ranges from directed movement to milling to disordered swarming. Typically, such macroscopic patterns arise from decentralized, local interactions among constituent components (e.g., individual fish in a school). Preeminent models of this process describe individuals as self-propelled particles, subject to self-generated motion and "social forces" such as short-range repulsion and long-range attraction or alignment...

Neurons in the inferior olive are thought to anatomically organize the Purkinje cells (P-cells) of the cerebellum into computational modules, but what is computed by each module? Here, we designed a saccade task in marmosets that dissociated sensory events from motor events and then recorded the complex and simple spikes of hundreds of P-cells. We found that when a visual target was presented at a random location, the olive reported the direction of that sensory event to one group of P-cells, but not to a second group...

Crime remains a crucial concern regarding ensuring a safe and secure environment for the public. Numerous efforts have been made to predict crime, emphasizing the importance of employing deep learning approaches for precise predictions. However, sufficient crime data and resources for training state-of-the-art deep learning-based crime prediction systems pose a challenge. To address this issue, this study adopts the transfer learning paradigm. Moreover, this study fine-tunes state-of-the-art statistical and deep learning methods, including Simple Moving Averages (SMA), Weighted Moving Averages (WMA), Exponential Moving Averages (EMA), Long Short Term Memory (LSTM), Bi-directional Long Short Term Memory (BiLSTMs), and Convolutional Neural Networks and Long Short Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) for crime prediction...

Pushing and grasping (PG) are crucial skills for intelligent robots. These skills enable robots to perform complex grasping tasks in various scenarios. These PG methods can be categorized into single-stage and multistage approaches. Single-stage methods are faster but less accurate, while multistage methods offer high accuracy at the expense of time efficiency. To address this issue, a novel end-to-end PG method called efficient PG network (EPGNet) is proposed in this article. EPGNet achieves both high accuracy and efficiency simultaneously...

Inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) is a mainstay treatment for controlling asthma and preventing exacerbations in patients with persistent asthma. Many types of ICS drugs are used, either alone or in combination with other controller medications. Despite the widespread use of ICSs, asthma control remains suboptimal in many people with asthma. Suboptimal control leads to recurrent exacerbations, causes frequent ER visits and inpatient stays, and is due to multiple factors. One such factor is the inappropriate ICS choice for the patient...

Predictions under interventions are estimates of what a person's risk of an outcome would be if they were to follow a particular treatment strategy, given their individual characteristics. Such predictions can give important input to medical decision-making. However, evaluating the predictive performance of interventional predictions is challenging. Standard ways of evaluating predictive performance do not apply when using observational data, because prediction under interventions involves obtaining predictions of the outcome under conditions that are different from those that are observed for a subset of individuals in the validation dataset...

In protein-RNA cross-linking mass spectrometry, UV or chemical cross-linking introduces stable bonds between amino acids and nucleic acids in protein-RNA complexes that are then analyzed and detected in mass spectra. This analytical tool delivers valuable information about RNA-protein interactions and RNA docking sites in proteins, both in vitro and in vivo. The identification of cross-linked peptides with oligonucleotides of different length leads to a combinatorial increase in search space. We demonstrate that the peptide retention time prediction tasks can be transferred to the task of cross-linked peptide retention time prediction using a simple amino acid composition encoding, yielding improved identification rates when the prediction error is included in rescoring...

The long-term monitoring stability of electronic current transformers is crucial for accurately obtaining the current signal of the power grid. However, it is difficult to accurately distinguish between the fluctuation of non-stationary random signals on the primary side of the power grid and the gradual error of the transformers themselves. A current transformer error prediction model, CNN-MHA-BiLSTM, based on the golden jackal optimization (GJO) algorithm, which is used to obtain the optimal parameter values, bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) network, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), and multi-head attention (MHA), is proposed to address the difficulty of measuring error evaluation...

This study selected 15 key predictors of the maximum of 8-hour averaged ozone (O3 ) concentration (O3 -8h), using the O3 concentration of Haikou and ERA5 reanalysis data from 2015 to 2020, and constructed a multiple linear regression (MLR) model, support vector machine (SVM) model, and BP neural network (BPNN) model, to predict and test the O3 -8h concentration of Haikou in 2021. The results showed that the absolute value of correlation coefficients between the O3 -8h and related key prediction factors was mainly among 0...

The number of flowers is essential for evaluating the growth status of litchi trees and enables researchers to estimate flowering rates and conduct various phenotypic studies, particularly focusing on the information of individual panicles. However, manual counting remains the primary method for quantifying flowers, and there has been insufficient emphasis on the advancement of reliable deep learning methods for estimation and their integration into research. Furthermore, the current density map-based methods are susceptible to background interference...

While artificial intelligence drives remarkable progress in natural sciences, its broader societal implications are mostly disregarded. In this study, we evaluate environmental impacts of deep learning in materials science through extensive benchmarking. In particular, a set of diverse neural networks is trained for a given supervised learning task to assess greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during training and inference phases. A chronological perspective showed diminishing returns, manifesting themselves as a 28% decrease in mean absolute error and nearly a 15,000% increase in the carbon footprint of model training in 2016-2022...

This study aims to estimate the connectedness rating (CR) of Korean swine breeding herds. Using 104,380 performance and 83,200 reproduction records from three swine breeds (Yorkshire, Landrace and Duroc), the CR was estimated for two traits: average daily gain (ADG) and number born alive (NBA) in eight breeding herds in the Republic of Korea (hereafter, Korea). The average CR for ADG in the Yorkshire breed ranges from 1.32% to 28.5% depending on the farm. The average CR for NBA in the Yorkshire herd ranges from 0% to 12...

Despite the rapid development of computational methods, including density functional theory (DFT), predicting the performance of a catalytic material merely based on its atomic arrangements remains challenging. Although quantum mechanics-based methods can model 'real' materials with dopants, grain boundaries, and interfaces with acceptable accuracy, the high demand for computational resources no longer meets the needs of modern scientific research. On the other hand, Machine Learning (ML) method can accelerate the screening of alloy-based catalytic materials...

RESULTS: Records of 120 eyes of 112 patients were reviewed...

BACKGROUND: Predicting of future blood glucose (BG) concentration is important for diabetes control. Many automatic BG monitoring or controlling systems use BG predictors. The accuracy of the prediction for long prediction time is a major factor affecting the performance of the control system. The predicted BG can be used for glycemia management in the form of early hypoglycemic/hyperglycemic alarms or adjusting insulin injections. Recent developments in continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices open new opportunities for glycemia management of diabetic patients...
