The Integration of Multi-Source Remotely Sensed Data with Hierarchically Based Classification Approaches in Support of the Classification of Wetlands by Aaron Judah, Baoxin Hu

“…The hierarchical approaches also produced a significant increase in classification accuracy for the Naïve Bayes classifier versus the standard approach (∼12% increase) while not significantly increasing computation time – comparable in accuracy to the RF tests for around 20% the computational effort. Preselection of spectral bands, polarizations and other input parameters (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Normalized Difference Water Index, albedo, slope, etc.) using log-normal or RF variable importance analysis was very effective at identifying low-quality features and features which were of higher quality.…”

Problem of borderline hemoglobin A2 levels in an Iranian population with a high prevalence of α- and β-thalassemia carriers by Keivan Moradi, Reza Alibakhshi, Samaneh Shafieenia, Azam Azimi

“…Conclusions Our data showed that individuals with borderline Hb A2 are not uncommon in our population. Moreover, preselection of α- and β-thal carriers with borderline Hb A2 levels based on Hb A2, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and mean cell hemoglobin (MCH) is not advisable in our population. …”

Power Operation Violation Identification Method Based on Point Cloud Data Preprocessing and Deep Learning under the Architecture of IoT by Shibo Yang, Weiping Fu, Lishuo Zhang, Zhaolei Wang

“…In the first stage, PointRCNN extracts the semantic features of each point, separates the front scenic spots, and extracts the preselection box. In the second stage, the candidate box is refined by integrating the semantic features and classification confidence of the first stage to obtain a more accurate bounding box. …”

RNA-Seq is not required to determine stable reference genes for qPCR normalization. by Nirmal Kumar Sampathkumar, Venkat Krishnan Sundaram, Prakroothi S Danthi, Rasha Barakat, Shiden Solomon, Mrityunjoy Mondal, Ivo Carre, Tatiana El Jalkh, Aïda Padilla-Ferrer, Julien Grenier, Charbel Massaad, Jacqueline C Mitchell

“…In this study, however, we demonstrate that the statistical approach to determine the best reference genes from commonly used conventional candidates is more important than the preselection of 'stable' candidates from RNA-Seq data. …”

Identification of HLA-B27-restricted peptides from the Chlamydia trachomatis proteome with possible relevance to HLA-B27-associated diseases. by Kuon, W, Holzhütter, H, Appel, H, Grolms, M, Kollnberger, S, Traeder, A, Henklein, P, Weiss, E, Thiel, A, Lauster, R, Bowness, P, Radbruch, A, Kloetzel, P, Sieper, J

“…This was done by combining two biomathematical computer programs, the first of which predicts HLA-B27 peptide binding epitopes, and the second the probability of HLA-B27 peptide generation by the proteasome system. After preselection, immunodominant peptides were identified by Ag-specific flow cytometry. …”
