Project description:As multielectrode array technology increases in popularity, accessible analytical tools become necessary. Simultaneous recordings from multiple neurons may produce huge amounts of information. Traditional tools based on classical statistics are either insufficient to analyze multiple spike trains or sophisticated and expensive in computing terms. In this communication, we put to the test the idea that AI algorithms may be useful to gather information about the effective connectivity of neurons in local nuclei at a relatively low computing cost. To this end, we decided to explore the capacity of the algorithm C5.0 to retrieve information from a large series of spike trains obtained from a simulated neuronal circuit with a known structure. Combinatory, iterative and recursive processes using C5.0 were built to examine possibilities of increasing the performance of a direct application of the algorithm. Furthermore, we tested the applicability of these processes to a reduced dataset obtained from original biological recordings with unknown connectivity. This was obtained in house from a mouse in vitro preparation of the spinal cord. Results show that this algorithm can retrieve neurons monosynaptically connected to the target in simulated datasets within a single run. Iterative and recursive processes can identify monosynaptic neurons and disynaptic neurons under favorable conditions. Application of these processes to the biological dataset gives clues to identify neurons monosynaptically connected to the target. We conclude that the work presented provides substantial proof of concept for the potential use of AI algorithms to the study of effective connectivity.

Project description:Electrochemical biosensors transduce biochemical events (e.g., DNA hybridization) to electrical signals and can be readily interfaced with electronic instrumentation for portability. Nanostructuring the working electrode enhances sensor performance via augmented effective surface area that increases the capture probability of an analyte. However, increasing the effective surface area via thicker nanostructured electrodes hinders the analyte's permeation into the nanostructured volume and limits its access to deeper electrode surfaces. Here, we use nanoporous gold (np-Au) with various thicknesses and pore morphologies coupled with a methylene blue (MB) reporter-tagged DNA probe for DNA target detection as a model system to study the influence of electrode features on electrochemical sensing performance. Independent of the DNA target concentration, the hybridization current (surrogate for detection sensitivity) increases with the surface enhancement factor (EF), until an EF of ∼5, after which the sensor performance deteriorates. Electrochemical and fluorometric quantification of a desorbed DNA probe suggest that DNA permeation is severely limited for higher EFs. In addition, undesirable capacitive currents disguise the faradaic currents from the MB reporter at larger EFs that require higher square wave voltammetry (SWV) frequencies. Finally, a real-time hybridization study reveals that expanding the effective surface area beyond EFs of ∼5 decreases sensor performance.

Project description:Despite the widespread interest in electrospinning technology, very few simulation studies have been conducted. Thus, the current research produced a system for providing a sustainable and effective electrospinning process by combining the design of experiments with machine learning prediction models. Specifically, in order to estimate the diameter of the electrospun nanofiber membrane, we developed a locally weighted kernel partial least squares regression (LW-KPLSR) model based on a response surface methodology (RSM). The accuracy of the model's predictions was evaluated based on its root mean square error (RMSE), its mean absolute error (MAE), and its coefficient of determination (R2). In addition to principal component regression (PCR), locally weighted partial least squares regression (LW-PLSR), partial least square regression (PLSR), and least square support vector regression model (LSSVR), some of the other types of regression models used to verify and compare the results were fuzzy modelling and least square support vector regression model (LSSVR). According to the results of our research, the LW-KPLSR model performed far better than other competing models when attempting to forecast the membrane's diameter. This is made clear by the much lower RMSE and MAE values of the LW-KPLSR model. In addition, it offered the highest R2 values that could be achieved, reaching 0.9989.

Project description:This research focuses on modeling CO2 absorption into alkanolamine solvents using multilayer perceptron (MLP), radial basis function network (RBF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), networks, and response surface methodology (RSM). The parameters, including solvent density, mass fraction, temperature, liquid phase equilibrium constant, CO2 loading, and partial pressure of CO2, were used as input factors in the models. In addition, the value of CO2 mass flux was considered as output in the models. Trainlm, trainbr, and trainscg algorithms trained the networks. The results showed that the best number of neurons for MLP with one layer is 16; with two layers, 5 neurons in the first layer and 12 neurons in the second layer; and with three layers, 9 neurons in the first layer, 5 neurons in the second layer, and 1 neuron in the third layer. The best spread in RBF was found to be 2.202 for optimal network performance. Furthermore, statistical data analysis revealed that the trainlm function performs best. The coefficients of determination for RSM, MLP, RBF, and SVM for optimized structures are obtained at 0.9802, 0.9996, 0.9940, and 0.8946, respectively. The results demonstrate that MLP and RBF networks can model CO2 absorption using the trainlm, trainbr, and trainscg algorithms.

Project description:BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to compare geographic atrophy (GA) area semi-automatic measurement using fundus autofluorescence (FAF) versus optical coherence tomography (OCT) annotation with the cRORA (complete retinal pigment epithelium and outer retinal atrophy) criteria.MethodsGA findings on FAF and OCT were semi-automatically annotated at a single time point in 36 pairs of FAF and OCT scans obtained from 36 eyes in 24 patients with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The GA area, focality, perimeter, circularity, minimum and maximum Feret diameter, and minimum distance from the center were compared between FAF and OCT annotations.ResultsThe total GA area measured on OCT was 4.74 ± 3.80 mm2. In contrast, the total GA measured on FAF was 13.47 ± 8.64 mm2 (p < 0.0001), with a mean difference of 8.72 ± 6.35 mm2. Multivariate regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between the difference in area between OCT and FAF and the total baseline lesion perimeter and maximal lesion diameter measured on OCT (adjusted r2: 0.52; p < 0.0001) and the total baseline lesion area measured on FAF (adjusted r2: 0.83; p < 0.0001).ConclusionsWe report that the GA area measured on FAF differs significantly from the GA area measured on OCT. Further research is warranted in order to determine the clinical relevance of these findings.

Project description:Data scarcity is one of the critical bottlenecks to utilizing machine learning in material discovery. Transfer learning can use existing big data to assist property prediction on small data sets, but the premise is that there must be a strong correlation between large and small data sets. To extend its applicability in scenarios with different properties and materials, here we develop a hybrid framework combining adversarial transfer learning and expert knowledge, which enables the direct prediction of carrier mobility of two-dimensional (2D) materials using the knowledge learned from bulk effective mass. Specifically, adversarial training ensures that only common knowledge between bulk and 2D materials is extracted while expert knowledge is incorporated to further improve the prediction accuracy and generalizability. Successfully, 2D carrier mobilities are predicted with the accuracy over 90% from only crystal structure, and 21 2D semiconductors with carrier mobilities far exceeding silicon and suitable bandgap are successfully screened out. This work enables transfer learning in simultaneous cross-property and cross-material scenarios, providing an effective tool to predict intricate material properties with limited data.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:MR imaging-based modeling of tumor cell density can substantially improve targeted treatment of glioblastoma. Unfortunately, interpatient variability limits the predictive ability of many modeling approaches. We present a transfer learning method that generates individualized patient models, grounded in the wealth of population data, while also detecting and adjusting for interpatient variabilities based on each patient's own histologic data. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We recruited patients with primary glioblastoma undergoing image-guided biopsies and preoperative imaging, including contrast-enhanced MR imaging, dynamic susceptibility contrast MR imaging, and diffusion tensor imaging. We calculated relative cerebral blood volume from DSC-MR imaging and mean diffusivity and fractional anisotropy from DTI. Following image coregistration, we assessed tumor cell density for each biopsy and identified corresponding localized MR imaging measurements. We then explored a range of univariate and multivariate predictive models of tumor cell density based on MR imaging measurements in a generalized one-model-fits-all approach. We then implemented both univariate and multivariate individualized transfer learning predictive models, which harness the available population-level data but allow individual variability in their predictions. Finally, we compared Pearson correlation coefficients and mean absolute error between the individualized transfer learning and generalized one-model-fits-all models. RESULTS:Tumor cell density significantly correlated with relative CBV (r = 0.33, P < .001), and T1-weighted postcontrast (r = 0.36, P < .001) on univariate analysis after correcting for multiple comparisons. With single-variable modeling (using relative CBV), transfer learning increased predictive performance (r = 0.53, mean absolute error = 15.19%) compared with one-model-fits-all (r = 0.27, mean absolute error = 17.79%). With multivariate modeling, transfer learning further improved performance (r = 0.88, mean absolute error = 5.66%) compared with one-model-fits-all (r = 0.39, mean absolute error = 16.55%). CONCLUSIONS:Transfer learning significantly improves predictive modeling performance for quantifying tumor cell density in glioblastoma.

Project description:This work reports a novel and quick method to estimate the surface area of porous materials. Conventionally, surface area measurement requires the BET method/N2 adsorption experiment which is time-consuming. In this work, we developed a method based on machine learning (ML) and the adsorption of a conductive dye on porous materials. The rate and quantity of dye adsorption, which is characterized by dynamic measurement of conductivity, provide an indirect measure of surface area and zeta potential. An ML-based soft sensor is developed to relate the measured conductivity profiles with surface area and zeta potential. A phenomenological model on dye adsorption is also developed, validated, and used to augment experimental data for training the soft sensor. The developed method was tested for porous silica particles with a range of surface areas (250-1100 m2/g) and zeta potential (-17 mV: -29 mV). The developed soft sensor was able to estimate the surface area and zeta potential quite well. The developed approach and method reduce overall measurement time for surface area from several hours to a few minutes. The method can potentially be implemented in continuous plants producing porous materials like silica.

Project description:The mass transfer history of rocks provides direct evidence for fluid-rock interaction within the lithosphere and is recorded by compositional changes, especially in trace elements. The general method adopted for mass transfer analysis is to compare the composition of the protolith/precursor with that of metamorphosed/altered rocks; however, in many cases the protolith cannot be sampled. With the aim of reconstructing the mass transfer history of metabasalt, this study developed protolith reconstruction models (PRMs) for metabasalt using machine-learning algorithms. We designed models to estimate basalt trace-element concentrations from the concentrations of a few (1-9) trace elements, trained with a compositional dataset for fresh basalts, including mid-ocean ridge, ocean-island, and volcanic arc basalts. The developed PRMs were able to estimate basalt trace-element compositions (e.g., Rb, Ba, U, K, Pb, Sr, and rare-earth elements) from only four input elements with a reproducibility of ~ 0.1 log10 units (i.e., ± 25%). As a representative example, we present PRMs where the input elements are Th, Nb, Zr, and Ti, which are typically immobile during metamorphism. Case studies demonstrate the applicability of PRMs to seafloor altered basalt and metabasalt. This method enables us to analyze quantitative mass transfer in regional metamorphic rocks or alteration zones where the protolith is heterogeneous or unknown.

Project description:Interactions between gold metallic nanoparticles and molecular dyes have been well described by the nanometal surface energy transfer (NSET) mechanism. However, the expansion and testing of this model for nanoparticles of different metal composition is needed to develop a greater variety of nanosensors for medical and commercial applications. In this study, the NSET formula was slightly modified in the size-dependent dampening constant and skin depth terms to allow for modeling of different metals as well as testing the quenching effects created by variously sized gold, silver, copper, and platinum nanoparticles. Overall, the metal nanoparticles followed more closely the NSET prediction than for Förster resonance energy transfer, though scattering effects began to occur at 20 nm in the nanoparticle diameter. To further improve the NSET theoretical equation, an attempt was made to set a best-fit line of the NSET theoretical equation curve onto the Au and Ag data points. An exhaustive grid search optimizer was applied in the ranges for two variables, 0.1≤C≤2.0 and 0≤α≤4, representing the metal dampening constant and the orientation of donor to the metal surface, respectively. Three different grid searches, starting from coarse (entire range) to finer (narrower range), resulted in more than one million total calculations with values C=2.0 and α=0.0736. The results improved the calculation, but further analysis needed to be conducted in order to find any additional missing physics. With that motivation, two artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) algorithms, multilayer perception and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, gave a correlation coefficient, R2, greater than 0.97, indicating that the small dataset was not overfitting and was method-independent. This analysis indicates that an investigation is warranted to focus on deeper physics informed machine learning for the NSET equations.
