Edaphic and meteorological parameters as determinants of radon exhalation and its environmental implication in Peruvian agroecosystems.

Scientific reports
Radon exhalation is a natural process by which atoms of the radioactive gas radon diffuse in the soil and then exhale to an indoor and/or outdoor environment. High radon concentration levels, possibly from high radon exhalation rate levels, can gener...

Enhancing image quality in fast neutron-based range verification of proton therapy using a deep learning-based prior in LM-MAP-EM reconstruction.

Physics in medicine and biology
This study investigates the use of list-mode (LM) maximum(MAP) expectation maximization (EM) incorporating prior information predicted by a convolutional neural network for image reconstruction in fast neutron (FN)-based proton therapy range verifica...

Towards large nuclear imaging system optical simulations with optiGAN, a generative adversarial network.

Physics in medicine and biology
Optical Monte Carlo (MC) simulations are essential for modeling light transport in radiation detectors used in nuclear imaging and high-energy physics. However, full-system simulations remain computationally prohibitive due to the need to track optic...

Molecular Optimization Based on a Monte Carlo Tree Search and Multiobjective Genetic Algorithm.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
In the realm of medicinal chemistry, the predominant challenge in molecular design lies in managing extensive molecular data sets and effectively screening for, as well as preserving, molecules with potential value. Traditional methodologies typicall...

Multiscale simulations that incorporate patient-specific neural network models of platelet calcium signaling predict diverse thrombotic outcomes under flow.

PLoS computational biology
During thrombosis, platelets rapidly deposit and activate on the vessel wall, driving conditions such as myocardial infarction and stroke. The complexity of thrombus formation in pathological flow geometries, along with patient-specific pharmacologic...

Uncertainty mapping and probabilistic tractography using Simulation-based Inference in diffusion MRI: A comparison with classical Bayes.

Medical image analysis
Simulation-Based Inference (SBI) has recently emerged as a powerful framework for Bayesian inference: Neural networks are trained on simulations from a forward model, and learn to rapidly estimate posterior distributions. We here present an SBI frame...
