A micro-plate colorimetric assay for rapid determination of trace zinc in animal feed, pet food and drinking water by ion masking and statistical partitioning correction.

Food chemistry
A new micro-plate colorimetric assay was developed for rapid determination of zinc in animal feed, pet food and drinking water. Zinc ion was extracted from sample by trichloroacetic acid and then reacted with 2-(5-Bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-propyl-N-(3...

Serum levels of chemical elements in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Anyang, China: a case-control study based on machine learning methods.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVES: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is the predominant form of esophageal carcinoma with extremely aggressive nature and low survival rate. The risk factors for ESCC in the high-incidence areas of China remain unclear. We used machi...

Prediction of thermal conductivity of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) electrospun nanocomposite fibers using artificial neural network and prey-predator algorithm.

PloS one
In this study, multilayer perception neural network (MLPNN) was employed to predict thermal conductivity of PVP electrospun nanocomposite fibers with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Nickel Zinc ferrites [(Ni0.6Zn0.4) Fe2O4]. This is the sec...

Ethanol mediated As(III) adsorption onto Zn-loaded pinecone biochar: Experimental investigation, modeling, and optimization using hybrid artificial neural network-genetic algorithm approach.

Journal of environmental sciences (China)
Organic matters (OMs) and their oxidization products often influence the fate and transport of heavy metals in the subsurface aqueous systems through interaction with the mineral surfaces. This study investigates the ethanol (EtOH)-mediated As(III) a...

Using support vector machines to improve elemental ion identification in macromolecular crystal structures.

Acta crystallographica. Section D, Biological crystallography
In the process of macromolecular model building, crystallographers must examine electron density for isolated atoms and differentiate sites containing structured solvent molecules from those containing elemental ions. This task requires specific know...

Application of machine learning for the analysis of peripheral blood biomarkers in oral mucosal diseases: a cross-sectional study.

BMC oral health
BACKGROUND: Oral mucosal lesions are widespread globally, have a high prevalence in clinical practice, and significantly impact patients' quality of life. However, their pathogenesis remains unclear. Recent evidences suggested that hematological para...

ZFD-Net: Zinc flower defect detection model of galvanized steel surface based on improved YOLOV5.

PloS one
Due to the complex factory environment, zinc flower defects and galvanized sheet background are difficult to distinguish, and the production line running speed is fast, the existing detection methods are difficult to meet the needs of real-time detec...

Follicular fluid supplemented with copper and zinc increase the maturation rate of mouse vitrified-warmed oocytes.

Cryo letters
BACKGROUND: Immature oocyte cryopreservation is a therapeutic option in assisted reproductive technology.

Biomorphic structural batteries for robotics.

Science robotics
Batteries with conformal shape and multiple functionalities could provide new degrees of freedom in the design of robotic devices. For example, the ability to provide both load bearing and energy storage can increase the payload and extend the operat...

Detection of citrus canker and Huanglongbing using fluorescence imaging spectroscopy and support vector machine technique.

Applied optics
Citrus canker and Huanglongbing (HLB) are citrus diseases that represent a serious threat to the citrus production worldwide and may cause large economic losses. In this work, we combined fluorescence imaging spectroscopy (FIS) and a machine learning...
