Predicting the Site-Specific Toxicity of Metals to Fishes Using a New Machine Learning-Based Approach.

Environmental science & technology
Fishes of various trophic levels play an important role in the stability and balance of aquatic ecosystems. Metal contaminants can impair the survival and population fitness of fish at elevated concentrations. When universal water quality criteria (W...

Association of urinary metal elements with sarcopenia and glucose metabolism abnormalities: Insights from NHANES data using machine learning approaches.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia, a condition marked by the decline of skeletal muscle mass and function, is prevalent in the elderly and closely linked to abnormal glucose metabolism, particularly type 2 diabetes. Hyperglycemia can increase the formation of a...

Semi-scale stirred tank enzymatic bioleaching system for metal recovery from PCBs of end-of-life mobile phones: Process parameter optimization, predictive modelling, and economic assessment.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Biocatalysts like enzymes have proven to be faster and efficient in metal bioleaching from printed circuit boards (PCBs) than microbe-mediated bioleaching. However, studies on enzymatic metal bioleaching from PCBs are mainly confined to the shake-fla...

Parametric-MAA: fast, object-centric avoidance of metal artifacts for intraoperative CBCT.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Metal artifacts remain a persistent issue in intraoperative CBCT imaging. Particularly in orthopedic and trauma applications, these artifacts obstruct clinically relevant areas around the implant, reducing the modality's clinical value. Meta...

Predicting the amount of toxic metals and metalloids in silt loading using neural networks.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Material deposited on road surfaces, called road dust, are known to contain different toxic elements. According to particle size, there are different fractions. Particles with an aerodynamic size less than or equal to 75 µm are called silt loading. A...

Semi-supervised spatial-frequency transformer for metal artifact reduction in maxillofacial CT and evaluation with intraoral scan.

European journal of radiology
PURPOSE: To develop a semi-supervised domain adaptation technique for metal artifact reduction with a spatial-frequency transformer (SFTrans) model (Semi-SFTrans), and to quantitatively compare its performance with supervised models (Sup-SFTrans and ...

Assessing potential toxic metal threats in tea growing soils of India with soil health indices and machine learning technologies.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
This study explores the impact of potentially toxic metals (PTMs) contamination in Indian tea-growing soils on ecosystems, soil quality, and human health using machine learning and statistical analysis. A total of 148 surface soil samples were collec...

Metal Suppression Magnetic Resonance Imaging Techniques in Orthopaedic and Spine Surgery.

The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
Implantation of metallic instrumentation is the mainstay of a variety of orthopaedic and spine surgeries. Postoperatively, imaging of the soft tissues around these implants is commonly required to assess for persistent, recurrent, and/or new patholog...

Self-supervised U-transformer network with mask reconstruction for metal artifact reduction.

Physics in medicine and biology
. Metal artifacts severely damaged human tissue information from the computed tomography (CT) image, posing significant challenges to disease diagnosis. Deep learning has been widely explored for the metal artifact reduction (MAR) task. Nevertheless,...

Construction of multi-metal interspecies correlation estimation models based on typical soil scenarios.

Environmental research
The ecological risk assessment of metals in soils is essential for soil pollution management. However, regional soil heterogeneity and species diversity need to be considered when making these assessments. Therefore, an interspecies correlation estim...
