This paper presents an AI-based approach to automatic sleep stage scoring. The system TBNN (Tree-Based Neural Network) uses a decision-tree generator to provide knowledge that defines the architecture of a backpropagation neural network, including feature selection and initialisation of the weights. The case study reports a successful application to the data from polygraphic all-night sleep of 8 babies aged 6 months. The teaching input was provided by a medical expert in accordance with the rules of Guilleminault and Souquet. The performance of TBNN is compared with 5 other methods and the results are discussed.

Effective light-based cancer treatments, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT), rely on compounds that are activated by light efficiently, and absorb within the therapeutic window (600-850 nm). Traditional prediction methods for these light absorption properties, including Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT), are often computationally intensive and time-consuming. In this study, we explore a machine learning (ML) approach to predict the light absorption in the region of the therapeutic window of platinum, iridium, ruthenium, and rhodium complexes, aiming at streamlining the screening of potential photoactivatable prodrugs.

A bone fracture is a medical condition characterized by a partial or complete break in the continuity of the bone. Fractures are primarily caused by injuries and accidents, affecting millions of people worldwide. The healing process for a fracture can take anywhere from one month to one year, leading to significant economic and psychological challenges for patients.

The design of efficient bacterial inactivation treatment in wastewater is challenging due to its numerous parameters and the complex composition of wastewater. Although solar photochemical processes (PCPs) provide energy-saving benefits, a balance must be maintained between bacterial inactivation efficiency and experimental costs. Predictive decision tools for bacterial inactivation under various conditions would significantly contribute to optimizing PCP design resources.

PM pollution is a major global concern, especially in Vietnam, due to its harmful effects on health and the environment. Monitoring local PM levels is crucial for assessing air quality. However, Vietnam's state-of-the-art (SOTA) dataset with a 3 km resolution needs to be revised to depict spatial variation in smaller regions accurately.
