The impact of the number of high temporal resolution water meters on the determinism of water consumption in a district metered area.

Developments in data mining techniques have significantly influenced the progress of Intelligent Water Systems (IWSs). Learning about the hydraulic conditions enables the development of increasingly reliable predictive models of water consumption. The non-stationary, non-linear, and inherent stochasticity of water consumption data at the level of a single water meter means that the characteristics of its determinism remain impossible to observe and their burden of randomness creates interpretive difficulties.

Entropy Measurements for Leukocytes' Surrounding Informativeness Evaluation for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Classification.

The study of leukemia classification using deep learning techniques has been conducted by multiple research teams worldwide. Although deep convolutional neural networks achieved high quality of sick vs. healthy patient discrimination, their inherent lack of human interpretability of the decision-making process hinders the adoption of deep learning techniques in medicine.

Study of the Few-Shot Learning for ECG Classification Based on the PTB-XL Dataset.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is considered a fundamental of cardiology. The ECG consists of P, QRS, and T waves. Information provided from the signal based on the intervals and amplitudes of these waves is associated with various heart diseases.

Deep Learning Techniques in the Classification of ECG Signals Using R-Peak Detection Based on the PTB-XL Dataset.

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, the application of which in electrocardiographic signals is gaining importance.

IoT Application of Transfer Learning in Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Systems for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Classification.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common cancer in children, and its diagnosis mainly includes microscopic blood tests of the bone marrow. Therefore, there is a need for a correct classification of white blood cells. The approach developed in this article is based on an optimized and small IoT-friendly neural network architecture.

ECG Signal Classification Using Deep Learning Techniques Based on the PTB-XL Dataset.

The analysis and processing of ECG signals are a key approach in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. The main field of work in this area is classification, which is increasingly supported by machine learning-based algorithms. In this work, a deep neural network was developed for the automatic classification of primary ECG signals.

Cross-Entropy as a Metric for the Robustness of Drone Swarms.

Due to their growing number and increasing autonomy, drones and drone swarms are equipped with sophisticated algorithms that help them achieve mission objectives. Such algorithms vary in their quality such that their comparison requires a metric that would allow for their correct assessment. The novelty of this paper lies in analysing, defining and applying the construct of cross-entropy, known from thermodynamics and information theory, to swarms.

Changes of Conformation in Albumin with Temperature by Molecular Dynamics Simulations.

This work presents the analysis of the conformation of albumin in the temperature range of 300 K - 312 K , i.e., in the physiological range.

Hyaluronan-Chondroitin Sulfate Anomalous Crosslinking Due to Temperature Changes.

Glycosaminoglycans are a wide class of biopolymers showing great lubricating properties due to their structure and high affinity to water. Two of them, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate, play an important role in articular cartilage lubrication. In this work, we present results of the all-atom molecular dynamics simulations of both molecules placed in water-based solution.

Anomalous Behavior of Hyaluronan Crosslinking Due to the Presence of Excess Phospholipids in the Articular Cartilage System of Osteoarthritis.

Lubrication of articular cartilage is a complex multiscale phenomenon in synovial joint organ systems. In these systems, synovial fluid properties result from synergistic interactions between a variety of molecular constituent. Two molecular classes in particular are of importance in understanding lubrication mechanisms: hyaluronic acid and phospholipids.

Molecular Dynamic Analysis of Hyaluronic Acid and Phospholipid Interaction in Tribological Surgical Adjuvant Design for Osteoarthritis.

Tribological surgical adjuvants constitute a therapeutic discipline made possible by surgical advances in the treatment of damaged articular cartilage beyond palliative care. The purpose of this study is to analyze interactions between hyaluronic acid and phospholipid molecules, and the formation of geometric forms, that play a role in the facilitated lubrication of synovial joint organ systems. The analysis includes an evaluation of the pathologic state to detail conditions that may be encountered by adjuvants during surgical convalescence.
