Machine Learning Methods for Engineering Application Development - EurekAlert

The chapters of “Machine Learning Methods for Engineering Application Development“ book are organized into five parts Machine Learning Essentials, Applied Machine Learning, Surveillance Systems, Machine Learning in IoT and Cyber Security, Intelligent Systems, Machine learning algorithms have proven to be of great practical value in a variety of application domains. Not surprisingly, the field of software engineering turns out to be a fertile ground where many software development and maintenance tasks could be formulated as learning problems and approached in terms of learning algorithms. This Book deals with the subject of applying machine learning methods to so are engineering. In these books, we first provide the characteristics and applicability of some frequently utilized machine learning algorithms.

Researchers realize rapid customization of tomato cultivars with ... - EurekAlert

A recent study delivered by Prof. Chuanyou Li’s group at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) developed a rapid breeding strategy to generate tomato lines with different colored fruits from red-fruited materials by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated multiplex gene editing. First, a green-fruited triple mutant was created from red-fruited cultivar through simultaneous knockout mutations of PSY1, MYB12, and SGR1. Next, the triple mutant was backcrossed with the wild-type red-fruited plants. Then, the resulting BC1F1 lines were self-pollinated to generate a BC1F2 population segregating the psy1, sgr1, and myb12 mutant alleles. Finally, a series of tomato genotypes with different fruit colors, including red, yellow, pink, brown, light-yellow, pink-brown, yellow-green, and light green, ...

Developing mucosal vaccines for respiratory viruses - EurekAlert

WHAT: Vaccines that provide long-lasting protection against influenza, coronaviruses and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) have proved exceptionally difficult to develop. In a new review article in Cell Host & Microbe, researchers from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the NIH, explore the challenges and outline approaches to improved vaccines. Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., former NIAID director, is an author along with Jeffery K. Taubenberger, M.D., Ph.D., and David M. Morens, M.D.

Another step toward an insulin tablet - EurekAlert

For the millions of people living with diabetes, insulin is a life-saving drug. Unlike many other medicines, though, insulin cannot be easily delivered by swallowing a pill — it needs to be injected under the skin with a syringe or pump. Researchers have been making steps toward an insulin pill, and now, a team reports in ACS Nano that they’ve delivered insulin to the colons of rats using an orally administered tablet powered by chemical “micromotors.”

Ultrathin vanadium oxychloride demonstrates strong optical ... - EurekAlert

entertainment

The optical, electrical and mechanical properties of some materials change depending on the direction or orientation of the material. Depending on how wood is cut, for example, the orientation of the wood grain can result in a stronger or weaker material with different appearances. This same principal applies to ultrathin, two-dimensional (2D) materials with unique properties such as magnetism. Depending on the direction of a mechanical strain placed on one of these materials, the magnetic properties of the material change. This may facilitate the design of unique magnetic strain sensors that can convert force into a measurable electrical change. And while the anisotropy of the magnetic, mechanical, optical and other properties of these materials can, in theory, ...
