摘要:
In this study, a quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) framework is presented that combines simple degree-based topological descriptors with ensemble machine learning methods to examine selected physicochemical properties of coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiovascular therapy drugs. A data set of 100 clinically used compounds was considered, for which six classical degree-based indices, the Atom Bond Connectivity , Atom-Bond Sum Connectivity , Sum Connectivity , Harmonic , Randić , and Geometric–Arithmetic were computed, and compared to four key properties: topological polar surface area (), calculated lipophilicity (), calculated molar refractivity (), and aqueous solubility (

摘要:Clerodendrum infortunatum Linn has long been valued in traditional medicine for its therapeutic properties. Phytochemical studies have revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenolic compounds that contribute to its anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities. Since inflammation and angiogenesis are strongly correlated, this study investigated novel bioactive compounds in the ethyl acetate root extract of C. infortunatum and evaluated their antiangiogenic potential
摘要:
Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) is a progressive degenerative joint disorder and a major cause of disability worldwide. Radiographic grading using the Kellgren–Lawrence (KL) scale remains the standard diagnostic method, but inherent subjectivity and difficulty in detecting subtle structural changes reduce diagnostic reliability. Thus, an automated, robust, and explainable system is clinically essential.

摘要:
Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) helps plants in arid regions to reduce water loss by opening their stomata and taking up carbon dioxide (CO) during nighttime. While gas exchange in CAM plants has been mainly studied under controlled laboratory conditions, only a few ecosystem scale studies exist. Moreover, carbonyl sulfide (COS) has been used as a tracer for stomatal conductance, transpiration and photosynthesis in C and C plants, but no studies on CAM ecosystems have yet been published. Here we present the first ecosystem scale measurements of COS fluxes over Agave sisalana (CAM plant), commercially cultivated for its fiber. The measurements were made during the wet season in Kenya. The ecosystem was a consistent sink of COS, with higher uptake observed during nighttime (−11.5 pmol m−2 s−1) than during daytime (-5.6 pmol m−2 s−1). The magnitude of COS fluxes was comparable to non-growing season daytime fluxes reported for C and C plant dominated ecosystems. The soil was a small COS source (0.3 pmol m−2 s−1), with highest emissions under high radiation and temperature conditions. Using random forest modeling, we found that vapor pressure deficit, air temperature and soil water content were the most important drivers of nighttime ecosystem COS exchange (variable

摘要:
Lattice structures consist of spatially discrete bars interconnected by joints. The complex geometric configurations of these lightweight structures present a challenge for point cloud segmentation, which is essential for CAD model reconstruction. We propose an efficient and robust pipeline to reconstruct CAD models of lattice structures from point clouds. The point cloud is first fitted by a set of planar convex hulls, which are optimized by local geometric operators guided by an energy function. The edges of discrete convex hulls are stored in an AABB tree for efficient hull adjacency queries. The convex hulls are then segmented based on their consistently oriented normals. Structural primitives are classified using principal component analysis of these oriented normals, and their dimensions are determined with least squares fitting of the associated points. The final CAD model is assembled from the detected primitives. The method has been validated using point clouds of various scales and complexities including real-scanned data. It shows robustness in the presence of uniform noise, outliers and data loss. Furthermore, its advantages in terms of reconstruction accuracy and efficiency are further highlighted in comparison to conventional and deep learning approaches.
