The data described here provide standard performance measures following administration of a fingerprint matching task to expert analysts, trained students and novice control participants. Measures include accuracy on 'same' and 'different' trials, and the associated measures of sensitivity of discrimination (d') and response bias (C). In addition, speed of correct response is provided. The provision of these data will enable the interested reader to conduct meta-analyses relating to questions of fingerprint expertise and fingerprint training (see "Fact or friction: examination of the transparency, reliability and sufficiency of the ACE-V method of fingerprint analysis" (Stevenage and Pitfield, in press) [1]).

We present PepFuNN, a new open-source version of the PepFun package with functions to study the chemical space of peptide libraries and perform structure-activity relationship analyses. PepFuNN is a Python package comprising five modules to study peptides with natural amino acids and, in some cases, sequences with non-natural amino acids based on the availability of a public monomer dictionary. The modules allow calculating physicochemical properties, performing similarity analysis using different peptide representations, clustering peptides using molecular fingerprints or calculated descriptors, designing peptide libraries based on specific requirements, and a module dedicated to extracting matched pairs from experimental campaigns to guide the selection of the most relevant mutations in design new rounds.

There is a lack of evidence for the relationship between sweat pores and tooth agenesis. The aim of this study was to compare sweat pore density on fingertips between a group of patients with oligodontia and a control group without tooth agenesis. This parallel-group controlled clinical trial included 28 patients.

Background/objectives: Short tandem repeat (STR) loci are widely used in forensic genetics for identification and kinship analysis. Traditionally, these loci were selected to avoid medical associations, but recent studies suggest that loci such as TH01 and D16S539 may be linked to psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia. This study explores these potential associations and considers the privacy implications related to disease susceptibility.

Article Synopsis
  • MR fingerprinting (MRF) is an innovative technique for measuring MR relaxometry with high precision, but its complex data requirements hinder its widespread use.
  • A deep learning (DL) network, specifically a U-Net, was created to synthesize MRF signals from regular magnitude-only MRI data collected from 37 volunteers, comparing the results with actual acquired MRF signals.
  • The study found strong concordance between synthesized and actual MRF data, indicating that DL can enable quantitative relaxometry without the need for specialized MRF pulse sequences.

Machine-learning crystal size distribution for volcanic stratigraphy correlation.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Centre for Ore Deposit and Earth Sciences, School of Natural Sciences, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia.

Volcanic stratigraphy reconstruction is traditionally based on qualitative facies analysis complemented by geochemical analyses. Here we present a novel technique based on machine learning identification of crystal size distribution to quantitatively fingerprint lavas, shallow intrusions and coarse lava breccias. This technique, based on a simple photograph of a rock (or core) sample, is complementary to existing methods and allows another strategy to identify and compare volcanic rocks for stratigraphic correlation.
