Indoor locations with limited air exchange can easily be contaminated by harmful volatile compounds. Thus, is of great interest to monitor the distribution of chemicals indoors to reduce associated risks. To this end, we introduce a monitoring system based on a Machine Learning approach that processes the information delivered by a low-cost wearable VOC sensor incorporated in a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The WSN includes fixed anchor nodes necessary for the localization of mobile devices. The localization of mobile sensor units is the main challenge for indoor applications. Yes. The localization of mobile devices was performed by analyzing the with machine learning algorithms aimed at localizing the emitting source in a predefined map. Tests performed on a 120 m meandered indoor location showed a localization accuracy greater than 99%. The WSN, equipped with a commercial metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor, was used to map the distribution of ethanol from a point-like source. The sensor signal correlated with the actual ethanol concentration as measured by a PhotoIonization Detector (PID), demonstrating the simultaneous detection and localization of the VOC source.

Background: In the contemporary realm of health care, laboratory tests stand as cornerstone components, driving the advancement of precision medicine. These tests offer intricate insights into a variety of medical conditions, thereby facilitating diagnosis, prognosis, and treatments. However, the accessibility of certain tests is hindered by factors such as high costs, a shortage of specialized personnel, or geographic disparities, posing obstacles to achieving equitable health care.

The bismuth monolayer has recently been experimentally identified as a novel platform for the investigation of two-dimensional single-element ferroelectric system. Here, we model the potential energy surface of a bismuth monolayer by employing a message-passing neural network and achieve an error smaller than 1.2 meV per atom.

Z boson events at the Large Hadron Collider can be selected with high purity and are sensitive to a diverse range of QCD phenomena. As a result, these events are often used to probe the nature of the strong force, improve Monte Carlo event generators, and search for deviations from standard model predictions. All previous measurements of Z boson production characterize the event properties using a small number of observables and present the results as differential cross sections in predetermined bins.

Motivation: Histone modifications play an important role in transcription regulation. Although the general importance of some histone modifications for transcription regulation has been previously established, the relevance of others and their interaction is subject to ongoing research. By training Machine Learning models to predict a gene's expression and explaining their decision making process, we can get hints on how histone modifications affect transcription.

Prebiotics, traditionally linked to gut health, are increasingly recognized for their systemic benefits, influencing multiple organ systems through interactions with the gut microbiota. Compounds like inulin, fructooligosaccharides (FOS), and galactooligosaccharides (GOS) enhance short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production, benefiting neurocognitive health, cardiovascular function, immune modulation, and skin integrity. Advances in biotechnology, including deep eutectic solvents (DES) for extraction and machine learning (ML) for personalized formulations, have expanded prebiotic applications.
