Imperfections during the manufacturing process can cause significant variations in the noise and vibration levels exhibited by nominally identical structures. Any response calculations employed during the design process should ideally take account of these uncertainties and predict the expected range in performance. Recently a hybrid method has been developed to predict the ensemble average response of a built-up system by combining a deterministic model of parts of the system with a statistical model of other components [Shorter, P. J., and Langley, R. S. (2005) J. Sound. Vib., 288, 669-700]. In this paper the method is extended to predict the ensemble variance of the response. Expressions are derived for the variance of the vibrational energies in the statistical components, and for the variance of the cross spectrum of the response of the deterministic components, which augment the mean values of these quantities predicted by the original theory. The method employs a nonparametric model of uncertainty, in the sense that the statistical components are taken to carry diffuse wave fields, and this obviates the requirement for a detailed description of the system uncertainties. The method is validated by application to a range of coupled plate structures, and good agreement with detailed Monte Carlo simulations is found.

Background Detection and segmentation of lung tumors on CT scans are critical for monitoring cancer progression, evaluating treatment responses, and planning radiation therapy; however, manual delineation is labor-intensive and subject to physician variability. Purpose To develop and evaluate an ensemble deep learning model for automating identification and segmentation of lung tumors on CT scans. Materials and Methods A retrospective study was conducted between July 2019 and November 2024 using a large dataset of CT simulation scans and clinical lung tumor segmentations from radiotherapy plans.

However, its potential distribution remains largely unknown, posing a challenge in developing effective phytosanitary strategies. We used an ensemble model of six machine-learning algorithms including random forest, maxent, support vector machines, classification and regression tree, generalized linear model and boosted regression trees to forecast the potential distribution of A.

Background: The accurate and prompt diagnosis of infections is essential for improving patient outcomes and preventing bacterial drug resistance. Host gene expression profiling as an approach to infection diagnosis holds great potential in assisting early and accurate diagnosis of infection.
Methods: To improve the precision of infection diagnosis, we developed InfectDiagno, a rank-based ensemble machine learning algorithm for infection diagnosis via host gene expression patterns.

Non-destructive color sensors are widely applied for rapid analysis of various biological and healthcare point-of-care applications. However, existing red, green, blue (RGB)-based color sensor systems, relying on the conversion to human-perceptible color spaces like hue, saturation, lightness (HSL), hue, saturation, value (HSV), as well as cyan, magenta, yellow, key (CMYK) and the CIE L*a*b* (CIELAB) exhibit limitations compared to spectroscopic methods. The integration of machine learning (ML) techniques presents an opportunity to enhance data analysis and interpretation, enabling insights discovery, prediction, process automation, and decision-making.
