Motivation: There are several well-established paradigms for identifying and pinpointing discriminative peptides/proteins using shotgun proteomic data; examples are peptide-spectrum matching, de novo sequencing, open searches, and even hybrid approaches. Such an arsenal of complementary paradigms can provide deep data coverage, albeit some unidentified discriminative peptides remain.

Results: We present DiagnoMass, software tool that groups similar spectra into spectral clusters and then shortlists those clusters that are discriminative for biological conditions. DiagnoMass then communicates with proteomic tools to attempt the identification of such clusters. We demonstrate the effectiveness of DiagnoMass by analyzing proteomic data from Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Shigella, listing many high-quality discriminative spectral clusters that had thus far remained unidentified by widely adopted proteomic tools. DiagnoMass can also classify proteomic profiles. We anticipate the use of DiagnoMass as a vital tool for pinpointing biomarkers.

Availability: DiagnoMass and related documentation, including a usage protocol, are available at http://www.diagnomass.com.

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is an audio-visual phenomenon that has recently become popular. Many people have reported experiencing a tingling-like sensation through their body while watching audio/video clips known as ASMR clips. People capable of having such experiences have also reported improved overall well-being and feeling relaxed.

The primary purpose of this study was to improve our understanding of remote sensing technologies and their potential application in vineyards to monitor yields and fruit composition, which could then be used for selective harvesting and winemaking. For yield and berry composition data collection, representative vines from the vineyard block were selected and geolocated, and the same vines were surveyed for remote sensing data collection by the multispectral and thermal sensors in the RPAS in 2015 and 2016. The spectral reflectance data were further analyzed for vegetation indices to evaluate the correlation between the variables.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) show great potential for rapid and highly sensitive detection of trace amounts of contamination from the environment in the surface aquatic ecosystem. The widespread use of antibiotics has resulted in serious degradation of the water environment in the past few years, and their substantial residual contamination of wastewater has a harmful effect on ecosystems, which is associated with the development of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. However, in this study, a novel approach of core-shell nanoparticles GNRs@1,4-BDT@Ag was used for the quantitative measurement of the concentration of antibiotics in wastewater solutions using the SERS technique coupled with computational methods.

Significance: Epidemiological information about the epiretinal membrane is important for better clinical management and understanding of the nature and burden of this disease. There are some gaps in our understanding of the epidemiology of epiretinal membranes, particularly in Africa and the Middle East.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of epiretinal membrane using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) in an Iranian elderly population.

In credit risk assessment, unsupervised classification techniques can be introduced to reduce human resource expenses and expedite decision-making. Despite the efficacy of unsupervised learning methods in handling unlabeled datasets, their performance remains limited owing to challenges such as imbalanced data, local optima, and parameter adjustment complexities. Thus, this paper introduces a novel hybrid unsupervised classification method, named the two-stage hybrid system with spectral clustering and semi-supervised support vector machine (TSC-SVM), which effectively addresses the unsupervised imbalance problem in credit risk assessment by targeting global optimal solutions.
