The Social Construction of Categorical Data: Mixed Methods Approach to Assessing Data Features in Publicly Available Datasets.

JMIR medical informatics
BACKGROUND: In data-sparse areas such as health care, computer scientists aim to leverage as much available information as possible to increase the accuracy of their machine learning models' outputs. As a standard, categorical data, such as patients'...

Artificial neural networks to estimate the sorption and desorption of the herbicide linuron in Brazilian soils.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Generally, herbicides used in Brazil follow manufacturer's recommendations, which often do not consider soil attributes. Statistical models that include the physicochemical properties of the soil involved in herbicide retention processes could enable...

Machine learning assessment of dredging impacts on the phytoplankton community on the Brazilian equatorial margin: A multivariate analysis.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Dredging in estuarine systems significantly impacts phytoplankton communities, with suspended particulate matter (SPM) and dissolved aluminum (Al) serving as indicators of disturbance intensity. This study assessed the effects of dredging in the São ...

Comparison of the spatial and temporal distribution of cutaneous and mucosal leishmaniasis in the state of Rio de Janeiro between 2001 and 2011.

PloS one
OBJECTIVE: To compare the spatio-temporal distribution of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) cases with mucosal leishmaniasis (ML) cases in the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ) between 2001 and 2011.

Artificial intelligence applied to bed regulation in Rio Grande do Norte: Data analysis and application of machine learning on the "RegulaRN Leitos Gerais" platform.

PloS one
Bed regulation within Brazil's National Health System (SUS) plays a crucial role in managing care for patients in need of hospitalization. In Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, the RegulaRN Leitos Gerais platform was the information system developed to reg...

The Influence of Blood Titanium Levels on DNA Damage in Brazilian Workers Occupationally Exposed to Different Chemical Agents.

Biological trace element research
Occupational exposure to pollutants may cause health-damaging effects in humans. Genotoxicity assays can be used to detect the toxic effects of pollutants. In the present study, we evaluated genetic damage in three populations occupationally exposed ...

Addressing Gearbox Health Monitoring Challenges for Helicopters: A Machine Learning Approach.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciencias
The transmission gearbox of military helicopters, such as the H225M, experiences intense dynamic loads, leading to the detachment of ferromagnetic particles, often due to wear or fatigue. This poses safety risks, as excessive particle detachment dema...

Screening for Depression and Anxiety Using a Nonverbal Working Memory Task in a Sample of Older Brazilians: Observational Study of Preliminary Artificial Intelligence Model Transferability.

JMIR formative research
BACKGROUND: Anxiety and depression represent prevalent yet frequently undetected mental health concerns within the older population. The challenge of identifying these conditions presents an opportunity for artificial intelligence (AI)-driven, remote...

Predicting the seasonal dynamics of Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in corn using artificial neural networks.

Neotropical entomology
This study addresses the challenge of predicting Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) density in cornfields by developing an artificial neural network (ANN). Over two years, we collected data on meteorological variables (atmos...

Machine learning approaches and genetic determinants that influence the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus: a genetic association study in Brazilian patients.

Brazilian journal of medical and biological research = Revista brasileira de pesquisas medicas e biologicas
This genetic association study including 120 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and 166 non-diabetic individuals aimed to investigate the association of polymorphisms in the genes GSTM1 and GSTT1 (gene deletion), GSTP1 (rs1695), ACE (rs464...
