Measuring social, environmental and health inequalities using deep learning and street imagery.

Scientific reports
Cities are home to an increasing majority of the world's population. Currently, it is difficult to track social, economic, environmental and health outcomes in cities with high spatial and temporal resolution, needed to evaluate policies regarding ur...

A Comparative Texture Analysis Based on NECT and CECT Images to Differentiate Lung Adenocarcinoma from Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Journal of medical systems
The purpose of the study was to compare the texture based discriminative performances between non-contrast enhanced computed tomography (NECT) and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) images in differentiating lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) from s...

Machine Learning to Predict Delays in Adjuvant Radiation following Surgery for Head and Neck Cancer.

Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
OBJECTIVE: To apply a novel methodology with machine learning (ML) to a large national cancer registry to help identify patients who are high risk for delayed adjuvant radiation.

Machine Learning Can Improve Estimation of Surgical Case Duration: A Pilot Study.

Journal of medical systems
Operating room (OR) utilization is a significant determinant of hospital profitability. One aspect of this is surgical scheduling, which depends on accurate predictions of case duration. This has been done historically by either the surgeon based on ...

Time-lagged effects of weekly climatic and socio-economic factors on ANN municipal yard waste prediction models.

Waste management (New York, N.Y.)
Efficient and effective solid waste management requires sufficient ability to predict the operational capacity of a system correctly. Waste prediction models have been widely studied and these models are always being challenged to perform more accura...

High rates of atherogenic dyslipidemia, β-cell function loss, and microangiopathy among Turkish migrants with T2DM.

Diabetes & metabolic syndrome
AIMS: Non-Caucasian migrants require dedicated approaches in diabetes management due to specific genetic; socio-cultural; demographic and anthropological determinants. Documenting such phenotypes allows for better understanding unmet needs and manage...

Multiple Human-Behaviour Indicators for Predicting Lung Cancer Mortality with Support Vector Machine.

Scientific reports
Lung cancer is still one of the most common causes of death around the world, while there is overwhelming evidence that the environment and lifestyle factors are predominant causes of most sporadic cancers. However, when applying human-behaviour indi...

A neurodynamic approach to nonlinear optimization problems with affine equality and convex inequality constraints.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
This paper presents a neurodynamic approach to nonlinear optimization problems with affine equality and convex inequality constraints. The proposed neural network endows with a time-varying auxiliary function, which can guarantee that the state of th...

Predictive models for charitable giving using machine learning techniques.

PloS one
Private giving represents more than three fourths of all U.S. charitable donations, about 2% of total Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Private giving is a significant factor in funding the nonprofit sector of the U.S. economy, which accounts for more th...
