Near-infrared spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics algorithms for the quantitative determination of the germinability of Clostridium perfringens in four different matrices.

Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy
Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) has the ability to form metabolically-dormant spores that can survive food preservation processes and cause food spoilage and foodborne safety risks upon germination outgrowth. This study was conducted to inve...

Prediction and optimization of slaughter weight in meat-type quails using artificial neural network modeling.

Poultry science
Carcass yield of meat-type quails is strongly correlated with the weight of the birds at slaughter (slaughter weight [SW]; body weight at 45 D of age). Moreover, prediction of superior animals for SW at the earlier stages of the rearing period is fav...

Sparse Ensemble Machine Learning to Improve Robustness of Long-Term Decoding in iBMIs.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper presents a novel sparse ensemble based machine learning approach to enhance robustness of intracortical Brain Machine Interfaces (iBMIs) in the face of non-stationary distribution of input neural data across time. Each classifier in the en...

Machine Learning-Based Classification of the Health State of Mice Colon in Cancer Study from Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy.

Scientific reports
In this article, we address the problem of the classification of the health state of the colon's wall of mice, possibly injured by cancer with machine learning approaches. This problem is essential for translational research on cancer and is a priori...

Differentiation of thyroid nodules on US using features learned and extracted from various convolutional neural networks.

Scientific reports
Thyroid nodules are a common clinical problem. Ultrasonography (US) is the main tool used to sensitively diagnose thyroid cancer. Although US is non-invasive and can accurately differentiate benign and malignant thyroid nodules, it is subjective and ...

SpliceFinder: ab initio prediction of splice sites using convolutional neural network.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Identifying splice sites is a necessary step to analyze the location and structure of genes. Two dinucleotides, GT and AG, are highly frequent on splice sites, and many other patterns are also on splice sites with important biological fun...

Effects of post-weaning supplementation of immunomodulatory feed ingredient on body weight and cortisol concentrations in program-fed beef heifers.

Domestic animal endocrinology
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of an immunomodulatory feed ingredient during post-weaning on growth and cortisol concentrations of beef heifers. Commercial Angus heifers (n = 72) from 2 AI sires were blocked (n = 9) by BW an...

Fate of pirlimycin and antibiotic resistance genes in dairy manure slurries in response to temperature and pH adjustment.

The Science of the total environment
Quantifying the fate of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in response to physicochemical factors during storage of manure slurries will aid in efforts to reduce the spread of resistance when manure is land-applied. The objectives of ...

A novel machine learning based approach for iPS progenitor cell identification.

PLoS computational biology
Identification of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) progenitor cells, the iPS forming cells in early stage of reprogramming, could provide valuable information for studying the origin and underlying mechanism of iPS cells. However, it is very difficult ...

A computational model of systems memory consolidation and reconsolidation.

Hippocampus
In the mammalian brain, newly acquired memories depend on the hippocampus (HPC) for maintenance and recall, but over time, the neocortex takes over these functions, rendering memories HPC-independent. The process responsible for this transformation i...
