The paper considers a time-efficient implementation of the nearest neighbours (kNN) algorithm. A well-known approach for accelerating the kNN algorithm is to utilise dimensionality reduction methods based on the use of space-filling curves. In this paper, we take this approach further and propose an algorithm that employs multiple space-filling curves and is faster (with comparable quality) compared with the kNN algorithm, which uses kd-trees to determine the nearest neighbours. A specific method for constructing multiple Peano curves is outlined, and statements are given about the preservation of object proximity information in the course of dimensionality reduction. An experimental comparison with known kNN implementations using kd-trees was performed using test and real-life data.

Purpose: Oral mucositis (OM) reflects a complex interplay of several risk factors. Machine learning (ML) is a promising frontier in science, capable of processing dense information. This study aims to assess the performance of ML in predicting OM risk in patients undergoing head and neck radiotherapy.

Tyrosine-protein kinase Src plays a key role in cell proliferation and growth under favorable conditions, but its overexpression and genetic mutations can lead to the progression of various inflammatory diseases. Due to the specificity and selectivity problems of previously discovered inhibitors like dasatinib and bosutinib, we employed an integrated machine learning and structure-based drug repurposing strategy to find novel, targeted, and non-toxic Src kinase inhibitors. Different machine learning models including random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbors (K-NN), decision tree, and support vector machine (SVM), were trained using already available bioactivity data of Src kinase targeting compounds.

Depression is more than just feeling sad. It is a severe and multifaceted mental health condition that impacts millions of individuals around the globe. Regrettably, it can even be more prevalent in university students of underdeveloped and developing countries like Bangladesh because of academic pressure, family and societal expectations, financial limitations, stigmatized social and cultural norms, unemployment concerns, lack of mental health awareness, etc.

Analyzing manure nutrients such as total ammonium nitrogen (NH), dry matter (DM), calcium oxide (CaO), total nitrogen (-N), phosphorus pentoxide (PO), magnesium oxide (MgO), and potassium oxide (KO) helps in fulfilling crop nutritional needs while improving the profitability and a lower risk of pollutants. This study used two Near Infra Red (NIR) spectral datasets of fresh and dried manure. The freshly prepared NHCl, CaO, Ca(OH), PO, MgO, and KO samples were used for spectral signature peak identification and calibration.

Direct verification of the geometric accuracy of machined parts cannot be performed simultaneously with active machining operations, as it usually requires subsequent inspection with measuring devices such as coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) or optical 3D scanners. This sequential approach increases production time and costs. In this study, we propose a novel indirect measurement method that utilizes motor current data from the controller of a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine in combination with machine learning algorithms to predict the geometric accuracy of machined parts in real-time.
