Optimizing coastal groundwater quality predictions: A novel data mining framework with cross-validation, bootstrapping, and entropy analysis.

Investigating the potential of novel data mining algorithms (DMAs) for modeling groundwater quality in coastal areas is an important requirement for groundwater resource management, especially in the coastal region of Bangladesh where groundwater is highly contaminated. In this work, the applicability of DMA, including Gaussian Process Regression (GPR), Bayesian Ridge Regression (BRR) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN), for predicting groundwater quality in coastal areas was investigated. The optuna-based optimized hyperparameter is proposed to improve the accuracy of the models, including optuna-GPR and optuna-BRR as benchmark models.

Enhancing land cover object classification in hyperspectral imagery through an efficient spectral-spatial feature learning approach.

The classification of land cover objects in hyperspectral imagery (HSI) has significantly advanced due to the development of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). However, challenges such as limited training data and high dimensionality negatively impact classification performance. Traditional CNN-based methods predominantly utilize 2D CNNs for feature extraction, which inadequately exploit the inter-band correlations in HSIs.

Dysregulated blood biomarkers in women with acute and chronic respiratory conditions due to air pollutant exposure: An exploratory systematic review.

Background: Air pollution exposure poses significant health risks for the general population, but particularly for women with acute and chronic respiratory conditions. Given the increasing global burden of air pollution-related illnesses, understanding these biomarkers is crucial for developing targeted interventions and improving respiratory health outcomes in vulnerable populations. In this systematic review, we aimed to determine potential dysregulated respiratory inflammatory blood biomarker candidates in adult female patients who experience varying levels and sources of inhaled pollutant exposure.

A Multi-level ensemble approach for skin lesion classification using Customized Transfer Learning with Triple Attention.

Skin lesions encompass a variety of skin abnormalities, including skin diseases that affect structure and function, and skin cancer, which can be fatal and arise from abnormal cell growth. Early detection of lesions and automated prediction is crucial, yet accurately identifying responsible regions post-dominance dispersion remains a challenge in current studies. Thus, we propose a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based approach employing a Customized Transfer Learning (CTL) model and Triple Attention (TA) modules in conjunction with Ensemble Learning (EL).

Molecular Epidemiology and Antimicrobial Resistance of Extended-Spectrum -Lactamase (ESBL)-Producing in Retail Cattle Meat.

Enterobacteriaceae that produce extended-spectrum -lactamases (ESBLs) can result in severe human infections, contributing to the development of complex diseases. is one of the ESBL-producing pathogens that helps to set antimicrobial resistance as a major public health problem worldwide. The current study aimed to isolate, identify, and characterize ESBL-producing and their antimicrobial resistance pattern in retail cattle meat samples.

DJ-X-013 reduces LPS-induced inflammation, modulates Th17/ myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and alters NF-κB expression to ameliorate experimental colitis.

Scope: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic intestinal inflammatory condition of unknown etiology, although recent evidence suggests that it is caused by an excessive immune response to mucosal antigens. We determined the anti-inflammatory properties of novel compound DJ-X-013 in vitro in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophages and in an in vivo dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced model of colitis.

Methods And Results: To evaluate the anti-inflammatory properties of DJ-X-013, we used LPS-activated RAW 264.

Polytechnic students' perceived satisfaction of using technology in the learning process: The context of Bangladesh TVET.

Technology integration is becoming pervasive in the polytechnic institutes of Bangladesh. Many institutions opted for a blended learning approach to deliver their education. This approach drives the transformation of education towards more digitalization and obliges students to thrive in using technology in the learning process.

Optical Fiber Probe with Integrated Micro-Optical Filter for Raman and Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Sensing.

Optical fiber Raman and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probes hold great promise for in vivo biosensing and in situ monitoring of hostile environments. However, the silica Raman scattering background generated within the optical fiber increases in proportion to the length of the fiber, and it can swamp the signal from the target analyte. While filtering can be applied at the distal end of the fiber, the use of bulk optical elements has limited probe miniaturization to a diameter of 600 µm, which in turn limits the potential applications.

UBL3 overexpression enhances EV-mediated Achilles protein secretion in conditioned media of MDA-MB-231 cells.

Cancer cells communicate within the tumor microenvironment (TME) through extracellular vesicles (EVs), which act as crucial messengers in intercellular communication, transporting biomolecules to facilitate cancer progression. Ubiquitin-like 3 (UBL3) facilitates protein sorting into small EVs as a post-translational modifier. However, the effect of UBL3 overexpression in EV-mediated protein secretion has not been investigated yet.

The gig economy (temporary, contract, and freelance online jobs rather than permanent positions) is a component of the fourth industrial revolution and preview of future work. The rise of digital platforms has increased career opportunities and income potential, particularly for women. Yet, the sex-disaggregated evidence regarding platform usage, employment characteristics, and working motivations and satisfaction remains untapped.

Long-term prediction of algal chlorophyll based on empirical models and the machine learning approach in relation to trophic variation in Juam Reservoir, Korea.

This study analyzed spatiotemporal variation and long-term trends in water quality indicators and trophic state conditions in an Asian temperate reservoir, Juam Reservoir (JR), and developed models that forecast algal chlorophyll (CHL-a) over a period of 30 years, 1993-2022. The analysis revealed that there were longitudinal gradients in water quality indicators along the reservoir, with notable influences from tributaries and seasonal variations in nutrient regimes and suspended solids. The empirical model showed phosphorus was found to be the key determinant of algal biomass, while suspended solids played a significant role in regulating water transparency.
