In atomic absorption spectrometric measurements calibration lines are measured daily. These lines are not always acceptable. They can, for instance, contain outliers, have a bad precision or can be curved. To evaluate the quality of those lines a method which gives a fast diagnosis is recommended. In this study the use of Kohonen neural networks was examined as an automated procedure to classify these calibration lines. The results were compared with those obtained using a decision support system which uses classical statistical methods to classify the lines. The prediction capabilities of both approaches relative to a visual inspection and classification was found to be comparable, or even slightly better for the Kohonen networks, depending on the training set used. For both techniques a prediction error rate of <10% was obtained, relative to a visual classification.

Adenosine receptors (A, A, A, A) play critical roles in cellular signaling and are implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including inflammations and cancer. The main aim of this research was to investigate structure-activity relationships (SAR) to derive models that describe the selectivity and activity of inhibitors targeting Adenosine receptors. Structural information for 16,312 inhibitors was collected from BindingDB and analyzed using machine learning methods.

Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have evolved into a global development burden, with nearly 40 million infections and 25 million deaths. Compared to other age groups, youth have increased risks of contracting the disease due to social and health structural factors; thus, additional efforts are needed to effectively tackle the challenges associated with this age group. Epidemiological studies employing unsupervised learning techniques are essential for shaping public health policies.

Objective: The aim of the study is to verify whether the electronic nose system - an array of 17 gas sensors with a signal analysis system - is a useful tool for the classification and preliminary assessment of the quality of drainage water.
Material And Methods: Water samples for analysis were collected in the Park Ludowy (People's Park), located next to the Bystrzyca River, near the city center of Lublin in eastern Poland. Drainage water was sampled at 4 different points.

With the continuous updating and progress of medical equipment, the overdue medical device has problems such as management difficulties, resource waste, and potential security risks. Therefore, this paper used the Kohonen network algorithm to quantitatively evaluate and analyze the surplus value of overdue medical devices. In this paper, the Kohonen network algorithm was used to build a quantitative model of the surplus value of the overdue medical device, and the self-organization characteristics and data-driven learning ability of the Kohonen network were used to predict the surplus value of the equipment more accurately.

Metabolomics has emerged as a powerful tool for identifying biomarkers of disease, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy allows for the simultaneous detection of a wide range of metabolites. However, due to complex interactions within metabolic networks, metabolites often exhibit high correlation and collinearity. To address this challenge, self-organizing maps (SOMs) of Kohonen maps and counter propagation-artificial neural networks (CP-ANN) were employed in this study to model proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic (HNMR) data from control samples and breast cancer (BC) patients.
