Charge transfer through DNA is of great interest because of the potential of DNA to be a building block for nanoelectronic sensors and devices. The photochemical reaction of 5-halouracil has been used for probing charge-transfer processes along DNA. We previously reported on unique charge transfer following photochemical reaction of 5-bromouracil within four-base π-stacks in Z-DNA. In this study, we incorporated a guanosine instead of a deoxyguanosine into Z-DNA, and found that electron transfer occurs in a different mechanism through four-base π-stacks.

Human posture recognition has a wide range of applicability in the detective and preventive healthcare industry. Recognizing posture through frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar poses a significant challenge as the human subject is static. Unlike existing radar-based studies, this study proposes a novel framework to extract the postures of two humans in close proximity using FMCW radar point cloud.

The detection of foodborne bacteria is critical in ensuring both consumer safety and food safety. If these pathogens are not properly identified, it can lead to dangerous cross-contamination. One of the most common methods for classifying bacteria is through the examination of Hyperspectral microscope imaging (HMI).

Predicting blood lead in Uruguayan children: Individual- vs neighborhood-level ensemble learners.

PLOS Glob Public Health

Department of Epidemiology and Environmental Health, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York USA, Buffalo, New York, United States of America.

Predicting childhood blood lead levels (BLLs) has had mixed success, and it is unclear if individual- or neighborhood-level variables are most predictive. An ensemble machine learning (ML) approach to identify the most relevant predictors of BLL ≥2μg/dL in urban children was implemented. A cross-sectional sample of 603 children (~7 years of age) recruited between 2009-2019 from Montevideo, Uruguay participated in the study.

Slope failures lead to catastrophic consequences in numerous countries, so accurate slope stability evaluation is critical in geological disaster prevention and control. In this study, the type and characteristics of slope protection structure disease were determined through the field investigation of an expansive soil area, and this information is incorporated into the numerical simulations and works to develop prediction models of slope stability. Four base machine learning (ML) methods are used to capture the relationship between protection structure diseases and factor of safety (FOS).
