Analysis of Coronary Artery Disease Using Various Machine Learning Techniques

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in the world, accounting for more than half of all deaths. It's a difficult condition to diagnose because of the variety of risk factors and symptoms. CAD arises when the inner layer of the coronary arteries becomes clogged with cholesterol plaque, preventing oxygen-rich blood from reaching the heart. Computer-aided design has undergone major changes in the recent decade. Prototyping and testing of various machine learning (ML) models will be done in this study in order to find the best model for the given problem at hand. Seven of the most often used ML models discussed here include support vector machine, K-nearest neighbors, decision tree, random forest, logistic regression, naive Bayes, and XG-Boost. The Z-Alizadeh Sani dataset is used in this study to detect CAD. The statistical performance is analyzed on the basis of sensitivity, accuracy, specificity, and ROC curves. Among these models, random forest has achieved the best performance and obtained accuracy of 93.44%, sensitivity of 76.47%, and specificity of 100%.
Biotin interference in TSH, FT4, and FT3 assays based on the LOCI technology: Identifying interference by dilution

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Although biotin interferences in TSH , FT 3, FT 4, and other biotinylated antibody‐based assays manufactured by Roche Diagnostics have been well studied, there are relatively few reports on biotin interference in biotin‐based assays manufactured by other companies. We investigated biotin interferences in TSH , FT 4, and FT 3 assays based on the LOCI (luminescent oxygen channeling assay) technology using the Dimension Vista 1500 analyzer (Siemens). Methods We prepared four serum pools using leftover specimens. Three serum pools were prepared initially for the original study but the 4 th pool was prepared three months later. The aliquots of serum pool one and two were supplemented with various amounts of biotin (50 ‐1200 ng/ mL ) followed by determination of TSH , FT 4, and FT 3 concentrations. The aliquots of third pool were also supplemented with biotin to investigate whether 1:3 dilution could identify biotin interference. Aliquots of serum pool four were supplemented with biotin in order to study reproducibility of our original data. Results We observed significantly elevated FT 3 levels at biotin concentration of 100 ng/ mL . In contrast, FT 4 levels were falsely elevated but TSH levels were falsely decreased at a biotin level of 500 ng/ mL . We also observed nonlinearity in dilution experiment. Conclusions We conclude that FT 3 assay is most susceptible to biotin interference (threshold: 100 ng/ mL ) while the FT 4 and TSH assays are less affected (threshold: 500 ng/ mL ). In addition, we also observed nonlinearity upon 1:3 dilution, which may indicate biotin interference (or interference from other compounds).

Subsidies and awards in movie production

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

This article analyses the effect of subsidies and awards on the Spanish motion picture industry. We estimate a Cobb–Douglas production function using regional data and show that Spanish motion picture industry exhibits constant returns to scale and that awards positively affect movie production whereas subsidies have no effect. In fact, awards affect the productivity of the sector as they allow for an increase in the output, which is not explained by an increase in inputs.
A memetic approach to the inverse kinematics problem

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Solving the inverse kinematics problem is at the core of the kinematics control of any articulated mechanism. It refers to determine the joint configuration that places the end-effector in an arbitrary position and orientation in the workspace. Kinematic inversion algorithms are generally based on the (pseudo)inverse Jacobian matrix, however, these methods are local and unstable in the vicinity of singular joint configurations. Alternatively, the inverse kinematics can be formulated as a constrained minimization problem in the robot configuration space. In a previous work, Differential Evolution (DE) was used to solve this optimization problem for a non-redundant robot manipulator. Although, the algorithm was successful in finding accurate solutions it showed a low convergence speed rate. In this paper, a memetic approach is proposed to increase the convergence speed of the DE by introducing a local search mechanism, called discarding. The proposed approach is tested in a simulation environment to solve the kinematic inversion problem of a non-redundant 3DOF robot manipulator. Experimental results shows that the proposed algorithm is able to find solutions with high accuracy in less generations than the original DE approach.

Several mathematical concepts contained in Siak sticky woven fabric can be applied to contextual mathematics learning to make it easier to understand mathematical concepts and associate culture into mathematics learning.
Differentiating and Synthesizing Socially Responsible Consumption: A Multi-Level Conceptual Framework and Future Research Directions

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Important societal and environmental issues need to be addressed in the current day. The study of socially responsible consumption (SRC) has emerged as a discipline that prepares academics and professionals to act as communities capable of addressing such issues. We aim to extend the current knowledge of SRC in the business and management domains by first differentiating the concept from other interchangeably used concepts such as ‘ethical consumption,” ‘green consumption,” ‘socially conscious consumption,’ and ‘sustainable consumption,’ followed by a systematic literature review approach. We show that SRC is conceptually distinct and encompasses the broadest scope compared to the four similar concepts within the business and management domains. Furthermore, a systematic review of 64 articles published over the past decade (2013–2023) has revealed various themes related to consumers, consumption, firms, and products. We discuss these themes from both macro and micro perspectives and develop a multi-level conceptual framework to advance the holistic understanding of SRC in business and management domains. Additionally, we outline future research avenues for each theme at both the macro and micro levels as well as in terms of theory, context, and methods. Ultimately, this study enriches the knowledge of SRC in the business and management domains by (A) differentiating the construct and defining its conceptual boundaries, (B) synthesizing SRC research and identifying emerging research themes at both macro and micro levels, and (C) offering a multi-level conceptual framework and potential future research directions (FRDs).
Fault Diagnosis in Tennessee Eastman Process Using Slow Feature Principal Component Analysis

Field: Chemical Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Objective: This work aims to use slow features extraction of time-varying signals to solve the unfavorable influences of traditional principal component analysis (PCA) method on feature extraction in Tennessee Eastman (TE) process. Methods: Slow feature principal component analysis (SFPCA) method can obtain the slow features information of the observed data while considering variance maximization. The monitoring statistical indices are built on SFPCA method, and their confidence limits are computed by kernel density estimation (KDE), respectively. Results: All the monitoring results of SFPCA are presented. The confidence limit for fault detection is set to 95%. The fault exists all the time from 161st sample by SFPCA method. Stochastic occurrence appears with relatively smaller amplitude in temperature of reactant feeding in fault 10. Monitoring chart based on SFPCA performs better with fault detection rate for T2 index reaching 93.13% and Q index 56.50%. In Table 2, the proposed method can detect most faults than PCA, especially for faults (4), (5), (8), (10), (11), (16), (17), (18), (19), (20), (21). In Table 3, for fault (2), (8), (10), (11), (13), (16), (17), (19), (21), SFPCA shows better detection performance than PCA. In fault 5, the positive step change in condenser cooling water temperature leads to a sharp increase in its flow rate which is measured by the 52nd variable. Conclusion: SFPCA method demonstrates better performance than the traditional PCA method from the perspective of both fault diagnosis rate and fault diagnosis time in TE process. Keywords: Fault diagnosis, kernel density estimation, principal component analysis, slow feature, tennessee eastman process, time-varying.
Improving Response to FLT3 Inhibitors–BCL2 the Rescue?

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Abstract As single agents, FLT3 inhibitors are active in FLT3-mutated acute myeloid leukemia (AML) therapy but not curative. The BCL2 inhibitor, venetoclax, enhances responses to low intensity AML chemotherapy but its activity is limited by MCL1 upregulation. FLT3 inhibitors downregulate MCL1 and synergize with venetoclax in preclinical AML models. See related article by Ma et al., p. 6815

TRANSCRIPTOME ANALYSIS OF AN ENDOPARASITOID WASP Cotesia chilonis (HYMENOPTERA: BRACONIDAE) REVEALS GENES INVOLVED IN SUCCESSFUL PARASITISM

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

For successful parasitization, parasitiods usually depend on the chemosensory cues for the selection of hosts, as well as a variety of virulence factors introduced into their hosts to overcome host immunity and prevent rejection of progeny development. In bracovirus‐carrying wasps, the symbiotic polydnaviruses act in manipulating development and immunity of hosts. The endoparasitoid Cotesia chilonis carrying bracovirus as a key host immunosuppressive factor is a superior endoparasitoid of rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis . So far, genomic information for C. chilonis is not available and transcriptomic data may provide valuable resources for global studying on physiological processes of C. chilonis , including chemosensation and parasitism at molecular level. Here, we performed RNA‐seq to characterize the transcriptome of C. chilonis adults. We obtained 27,717,892 reads, assembled into 38,318 unigenes with a mean size of 690 bp. Approximately, 62.1% of the unigenes were annotated using NCBI databases. A large number of chemoreception‐related genes encoding proteins including odorant receptors, gustatory receptors, odorant‐binding proteins, chemosensory proteins, transient receptor potential ion channels, and sensory neuron membrane proteins were identified in silico. Totally, 72 transcripts possessing high identities with the bracovirus‐related genes were identified. We investigated the mRNA expression levels of several transcripts at different developmental stages (including egg, larva, pupae, and adult) by quantitative real‐time PCR analysis. The results revealed that some genes had adult‐specific expression, indicating their potential significance for mating and parasitism. Overall, these results provide comprehensive insights into transcriptomic data of a polydnavirus‐carrying parasitoid of a rice pest.
NDT of composite laminates using phased-array ultrasonic technnique

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Several commercial engineering components in aerospace, ship building, sports industry are made of composite materials replacing conventional composite laminates necessitating issues of defect detection in them during either manufacturing or maintenance. Phased Array Ultrasonic Technique (PAUT) is emerging non-destructive technique (NDT) which enable rapid scanning of component s and also provide more accurate results than the conventional ultrasonic testing. Industrial emphasis on eco no mic s and safety, it is critical to use and develop robust and practical NDT methods. In this stud y, ultrasonic C-scan technique is used to detect various artificial defects using a 5MHz phased array wheel probe in laminated composite plate s. The artificial defects with varying shapes and sizes made of polymer film s were embedded in the testing composite laminates at different layers and position. Both unidirectional glass fibre reinforced epoxy polymer (GFRP) and car bon fibre reinforced epoxy polymer (CFRP) composite laminates were examined using portable Doppler PA instrument PH ASCAN®. Special tu1in g and optimization techniques including different element combination and focus settings and distance amplitude correction (DAC) were use d to reduce noises and to achieve better image re solution. The C-scan measurement is in good agreement with the actual size and position of defect s: quantifying the size and location of defect s. In addition, the attenuation factors in both materials were measured. It was found that the noise to signal ratio in CFRP laminates is much lower than GFRP laminates, which resulted in better C-scan image. The stud y also includes the detection of flaw areas for the composite laminates impacted under different load s. Also the feasibility of roller type transducer to detect the flaw s in curved surfaces is demonstrated. Finite element modelling was also carried out on the laminate structure to understand the interaction of defect s with the waves using commercial finite element software ABAQUS ® CAE.

Nickel Transmutation and Excess Heat Model using Reversible Thermodynamics

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

This research develops the Least Action Nuclear Process (LANP) model of cold fusion, by assuming that the process is thermody- namically reversible. This requires: (1) one element of new physical theory, a far-from-equilibrium black body equation having a second temperature scale and (2) a nuclear reaction selection method based on the Principle of Least Action. The model appears to predict nuclear transmutations observed in Miley’s nickel microspheres, without false positives, and provides a plausible explanation of loading and ignition processes, excess heat, no excess heat, and the absence of gamma radiation. The model shows how solar core temperatures can exist in a laboratory temperature device. This presentation is abstracted from a larger technical paper.
Late gestation supplementation of corn dried distiller’s grains plus solubles to beef cows fed a low-quality forage: III. effects on mammary gland blood flow, colostrum and milk production, and calf body weights

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Abstract Objectives were to investigate the effects of supplementation with corn dried distiller’s grains plus solubles (DDGS) to late gestating beef cows on arterial blood flow to the mammary glands during late gestation and early lactation; colostrum and milk production; dystocia and immunity; and calf BW. Cows were fed a control (CON; n = 15; 5.1% CP; 36.2% ADF) diet consisting of 90% corn stover and 10% corn silage on a dry basis offered ad libitum or CON diet with supplementation of DDGS (0.30% of BW; SUP n = 12). Mammary gland blood flow was assessed on day 245 of gestation. At parturition, maternal and calving parameters were assessed; colostrum and jugular blood was sampled; and dams were weighed. Mammary gland blood flow and milk production was measured on day 44 of lactation. Calves were weighed fortnightly for 8 wk and at weaning. Colostrum production tended to be greater in SUP dams than in CON dams (837 vs. 614 ± 95 g, P = 0.10). Calves of SUP dams were heavier at birth and 24 h (0 h, 43.2 vs. 39.8 ± 1.0 kg, P = 0.02; 24 h, 44.0 vs. 40.4 ± 1.1 kg, P = 0.02). At birth and 24 h, blood pCO2 was greater in calves born to SUP dams (6.82 vs. 6.00 ± 0.41 kPa, P = 0.04). Serum IgG did not differ (P = 0.21) at 24 h. Ipsilateral mammary gland blood flow of SUP cows was greater than CON cows (2.76 vs. 1.76 ± 0.30 L/min; P = 0.03); however, when summed with contralateral, total blood flow was similar (P = 0.33). Hemodynamic measures on day 44 of lactation were similar (P ≥ 0.32). Milk production tended to be increased (13.5 vs. 10.2 ± 1.2 kg/d, P = 0.07) in SUP vs. CON cows. Despite similar BW through 56 d, calves from SUP cows were heavier (P = 0.04) at weaning (309.7 vs. 292.0 ± 6.0 kg). In conclusion, we accept our hypothesis that DDGS supplementation during gestation influenced mammary blood flow, milk production and calf weights. These findings implicate maternal nutrition’s leverage on both nutrient and passive immunity delivery to the calf early in life as well as potential advantages on long-term performance.
What Does the Virial Coefficient of the \Hb Broad-Line Region Depend On?

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

We combine our dynamical modeling black hole mass measurements from the Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2016 sample with measured cross-correlation time lags and line widths to recover individual scale factors, f, used in traditional reverberation mapping analyses. We extend our sample by including prior results from Code for AGN Reverberation and Modeling of Emission Lines (caramel) studies that have utilized our methods. Aiming to improve the precision of black hole mass estimates, as well as uncover any regularities in the behavior of the broad-line region (BLR), we search for correlations between f and other AGN/BLR parameters. We find (i) evidence for a correlation between the virial coefficient log10(fmean,σ) and black hole mass, (ii) marginal evidence for a similar correlation between log10(frms,σ) and black hole mass, (iii) marginal evidence for an anti-correlation of BLR disk thickness with log10(fmean,FWHM)and log10(frms,FWHM), and (iv) marginal evidence for an anti-correlation of inclination angle with log10(fmean,FWHM), log10(frms,σ), and log10(fmean,σ). Lastly, we find marginal evidence for a correlation between line-profile shape, when using the root-meansquare spectrum, log10(FWHM/σ)rms, and the virial coefficient, log10(frms,σ), and investigate how BLR properties might be related to line-profile shape using caramel models.
Articulation as Identity Marker of Nigerian English

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Language differentiates one group from another. It serves as a means of identity in a multilingual nation such as Nigeria where English language is spoken as lingua franca by the people who belong to different ethnic groups and who need to communicate with one another. In communication, the native languages of many Nigerian are observed to interfere with their use of English. In this research work, the variety of English languagespoken by the educated Nigerians is brought to the fore. It is widely believed among researchers particularly into Nigerian English studies that the varieties of English language spoken by Nigerians reveal their identity. Thus, language is a major variable among others that reveal the identity of a people.
In vitro Antiinflammatory Activity of the Essential oil Extracted from Chrysanthemum sibiricum in Murine Macrophage RAW 264.7 Cells

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

This research was undertaken to find the in vitro inflammatory action of the essential oil (CS-oil) extracted from Chrysanthemun sibiricum (Compositae) herbs. We investigated the effects of the CS-oil not only on the formation NO, PGE_2, and TNF-α but also on inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced murine macrophage RAW 26.47 cells. The data obtained were consistent with the modulation of iNOS enzyme expression. A similar fashion was also observed when LPS-induced, PGE_2 release and COX-2 expression were tested. The significant inhibitory effects were shown in concentration-dependent manners. In addition, CS-oil also mildly but significantly reduced the formation of TNF-a. These findings support the application of CS-oil as an antiinflammatory essential oil.
