BACKGROUND: Urogenital schistosomiasis is considered a Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD) by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is estimated to affect 150 million people worldwide, with a high relevance in resource-poor settings of the African con...
Eating mussels contaminated with cadmium (Cd) can seriously harm health. In this study, a non-destructive and rapid detection method for Cd-contaminated mussels based on near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy was studied. The spectral data of Cd-cont...
Locomotion on soft yielding grounds is more complicated and energetically demanding than on hard ground. Wet soft ground (such as mud or snow) is a particularly difficult substance because it dissipates energy when stepping and resists extrusion of t...
Biofabrication is an advanced technology that holds great promise for constructing highly biomimeticthree-dimensional human organs. Such technology would help address the issues of immune rejection and organ donor shortage in organ transplantation, a...
Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) reconstructs multiple energy-channel images to describe the same object, where there exists a strong correlation among different channel images. In addition, reconstruction of each channel image suffers phot...
Conotoxins are small and highly potent neurotoxic peptides derived from the venom of marine cone snails which have captured the interest of the scientific community due to their pharmacological potential. These toxins display significant sequence and...
Developing non-contact, non-destructive monitoring methods for marine life is crucial for sustainable resource management. Recent monitoring technologies and machine learning analysis advancements have enhanced underwater image and acoustic data acqu...
In case-control single-cell RNA-seq studies, sample-level labels are transferred onto individual cells, labeling all case cells as affected, when in reality only a small fraction of them may actually be perturbed. Here, using simulations, we demonstr...
Machine learning (ML) methods have rapidly developed in various theoretical and practical research areas, including predicting genomic breeding values for large livestock animals. However, few studies have investigated the application of ML in broile...
To understand a visual scene, observers need to both recognize objects and encode relational structure. For example, a scene comprising three apples requires the observer to encode concepts of "apple" and "three." In the primate brain, these function...
