Cells are crowded and spatially heterogeneous, complicating the transport of organelles, proteins and other substrates. One aspect of this complex physical environment, the mobility of passively transported substrates, can be quantitatively characterized by the diffusion coefficient: a descriptor of how rapidly substrates will diffuse in the cell, dependent on their size and effective local viscosity. The spatial dependence of diffusivity is challenging to quantitatively characterize, because temporally and spatially finite observations offer limited information about a spatially varying stochastic process. We present a Bayesian framework that estimates diffusion coefficients from single particle trajectories, and predicts our ability to distinguish differences in diffusion coefficient estimates, conditional on how much they differ and the amount of data collected. This framework is packaged into a public software repository, including a tutorial Jupyter notebook demonstrating implementation of our method for diffusivity estimation, analysis of sources of uncertainty estimation, and visualization of all results. This estimation and uncertainty analysis allows our framework to be used as a guide in experimental design of diffusivity assays.

Background: This study aimed to establish a model for predicting the difficulty of mandibular third molar extraction based on a Bayesian network to meet following requirements: (1) analyse the interaction of the primary risk factors; (2) output quantitative difficulty-evaluation results based on the patient's personal situation; and (3) identify key surgical points and propose surgical protocols to decrease complications.
Methods: Relevant articles were searched to identify risk factors. Clinical knowledge and experience were used to analyse the risk factors to establish the Bayesian network.

Graphical models are powerful tools to investigate complex dependency structures in high-throughput datasets. However, most existing graphical models make one of two canonical assumptions: (i) a homogeneous graph with a common network for all subjects or (ii) an assumption of normality, especially in the context of Gaussian graphical models. Both assumptions are restrictive and can fail to hold in certain applications such as proteomic networks in cancer.

Harsh operating conditions imposed by vehicular applications significantly limit the utilization of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) in electric propulsion systems. Improper/poor management and supervision of rapidly varying current demands can lead to undesired electrochemical reactions and critical cell failures. Among other failures, flooding and catalytic degradation are failure mechanisms that directly impact the composition of the membrane electrode assembly and can cause irreversible cell performance deterioration.

This research introduces the Generalized Extreme Value Mixture Autoregressive (GEVMAR) model as an innovative approach for examining non-standard actuarial datasets within general insurance. Information concerning claim reserves often reveals notable volatility and multimodal distributions, attributes that standard models, including previous method such as the Gaussian Mixture Autoregressive (GMAR) model and other autoregressive methodologies, find problematic to manage effectively. The GEVMAR model integrates the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution alongside Bayesian estimation techniques, augmented by a modified Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) metric to improve predictive accuracy.
