Calculating transmembrane voltage on the electric pulse-affected cancerous cell membrane: using molecular dynamics and finite element simulations

CONTEXT

Electroporation is a technique that creates electrically generated pores in the cell membrane by modifying transmembrane potential. In this work, the finite element method (FEM) was used to examine the induced transmembrane voltage (ITV) of a spherical-shaped MCF-7 cell, allowing researchers to determine the stationary ITV. A greater ITV than the critical value causes permeabilization of the membrane. Furthermore, the present study shows how a specific surface conductivity can act as a stand-in for the thin layer that constitutes a cell membrane as the barrier between extracellular and intracellular environments. Additionally, the distribution of ITV on the cell membrane and its maximum value were experimentally evaluated for a range of applied electric fields. Consequently, the entire cell surface area was electroporated 66% and 68% for molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and FEM, respectively, when the external electric field of 1500 V/cm was applied to the cell suspension using the previously indicated numerical methods. Furthermore, the lipid bilayers' molecular structure was changed, which led to the development of hydrophilic holes with a radius of 1.33 nm. Applying MD and FEM yielded threshold values for transmembrane voltage of 700 and 739 mV, respectively.

METHOD

Using MD simulations of palmitoyloleoyl-phosphatidylcholine (POPC), pores in cell membranes exposed to external electric fields were numerically investigated. The dependence on the electric field was estimated and developed, and the amount of the electroporated cell surface area matches the applied external electric field. To investigate more, a mathematical model based on an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) is employed to predict the percent cell viability of cancerous cells after applying four pulses during electroporation. For MD simulations, ArgusLab, VMD, and GROMACS software packages were used. Moreover, for FEM analysis, COMSOL software package was used. Also, it is worth mentioning that for mathematical model, MATLAB software is used.

Design and Practical Application of Sports Visualization Platform Based on Tracking Algorithm

Machine learning methods use computers to imitate human learning activities to discover new knowledge and enhance learning effects through continuous improvement. The main process is to further classify or predict unknown data by learning from existing experience and creating a learning machine. In order to improve the real-time performance and accuracy of the distributed EM algorithm for machine online learning, a clustering analysis algorithm based on distance measurement is proposed in combination with related theories. Among them, the greedy EM algorithm is a practical and important algorithm. However, the existing methods cannot simultaneously load a large amount of social information into the memory at a time. Therefore, we created a Hadoop cluster to cluster the Gaussian mixture model and check the accuracy of the algorithm, then compare the running time of the distributed EM algorithm and the greedy algorithm to verify the efficiency of the algorithm, and finally check the scalability of the algorithm by increasing the number of nodes. Based on this fact, this article has conducted research and discussion on the visualization of sports movements, and the teaching of visualization of sports movements can stimulate students' interest in physical education. The traditional physical education curriculum is completely based on the teacher's oral explanation and personal demonstration, and the emergence of visualized teaching of motor movements broke the teacher-centered teaching model and made teaching methods more interesting. This stimulated students' interest in sports and improved classroom efficiency.

Construction of English and American Literature Corpus Based on Machine Learning Algorithm

In China, the application of corpus in language teaching, especially in English and American literature teaching, is still in the preliminary research stage, and there are various shortcomings, which have not been paid due attention by front-line educators. Constructing English and American literature corpus according to certain principles can effectively promote English and American literature teaching. The research of this paper is devoted to how to automatically build a corpus of English and American literature. In the process of keyword extraction, key phrases and keywords are effectively combined. The similarity between atomic events is calculated by the TextRank algorithm, and then the first N sentences with high similarity are selected and sorted. Based on ML (machine learning) text classification method, a combined classifier based on SVM (support vector machine) and NB (Naive Bayes) is proposed. The experimental results show that, from the point of view of accuracy and recall, the classification effect of the combined algorithm proposed in this paper is the best among the three methods. The best classification results of accuracy, recall, and F value are 0.87, 0.9, and 0.89, respectively. Experimental results show that this method can quickly, accurately, and persistently obtain high-quality bilingual mixed web pages.

Metaheuristic Spatial Transformation (MST) for accurate detection of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) using rs-fMRI

Accurate detection of neuro-psychological disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) using resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rs-fMRI) is challenging due to high dimensionality of input features, low inter-class separability, small sample size and high intra-class variability. For automatic diagnosis of ADHD and autism, spatial transformation methods have gained significance and have achieved improved classification performance. However, they are not reliable due to lack of generalization in dataset like ADHD with high variance and small sample size. Therefore, in this paper, we present a Metaheuristic Spatial Transformation (MST) approach to convert the spatial filter design problem into a constraint optimization problem, and obtain the solution using a hybrid genetic algorithm. Highly separable features obtained from the MST along with meta-cognitive radial basis function based classifier are utilized to accurately classify ADHD. The performance was evaluated using the ADHD200 consortium dataset using a ten fold cross validation. The results indicate that the MST based classifier produces state of the art classification accuracy of 72.10% (1.71% improvement over previous transformation based methods). Moreover, using MST based classifier the training and testing specificity increased significantly over previous methods in literature. These results clearly indicate that MST enables the determination of the highly discriminant transformation in dataset with high variability, small sample size and large number of features. Further, the performance on the ADHD200 dataset shows that MST based classifier can be reliably used for the accurate diagnosis of ADHD using rs-fMRI.Clinical relevance- Metaheuristic Spatial Transformation (MST) enables reliable and accurate detection of neuropsychological disorders like ADHD from rs-fMRI data characterized by high variability, small sample size and large number of features.

Solving Classification Problems Using Projection-Based Learning Algorithm with Fuzzy Radial Basis Function Neural Network

Radial basis function (RBF) is combined with fuzzy C-means algorithms and its learning process made by projection-based learning (PBL) has been proposed in this paper, which is pointed out as PBL-fuzzy radial basis function (PBL-FRBF). The proposed method PBL-FRBF is producing good performances by selecting appropriate center and its width in order to achieve it by unsupervised classification algorithms instead of random selection. The PBL decreases the learning time, finds optimum output weight by its energy function and prefers smallest amount of samples for testing. Performance analysis is evaluated by benchmark datasets for classification problem taken from the UCI machine learning repository. The performance of the proposed PBL-FRBF has produced superior results when compared with FRBF and RBF for classification problems.

Best Features Selection for Biomedical Data Classification Using Seven Spot Ladybird Optimization Algorithm

This article presents a new adaptive algorithm called FS-SLOA (Feature Selection-Seven Spot Ladybird Optimization Algorithm) which is a meta-heuristic feature selection method based on the foraging behavior of a seven spot ladybird. The new efficient technique has been applied to find the best subset features, which achieves the highest accuracy in classification using three classifiers: the Naive Bayes (NB), the Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and the Support Vector Machine (SVM). The authors' proposed approach has been experimented on four well-known benchmark datasets (Wisconsin Breast cancer, Pima Diabetes, Mammographic Mass, and Dermatology datasets) taken from the UCI machine learning repository. Experimental results prove that the classification accuracy of FS-SLOA is the best performing for different datasets.

Global Sensitivity Estimates for Neural Network Classifiers

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have traditionally been seen as black-box models, because, although they are able to find ``hidden'' relations between inputs and outputs with a high approximation capacity, their structure seldom provides any insights on the structure of the functions being approximated. Several research papers have tried to debunk the black-box nature of ANNs, since it limits the potential use of ANNs in many research areas. This paper is framed in this context and proposes a methodology to determine the individual and collective effects of the input variables on the outputs for classification problems based on the ANOVA-functional decomposition. The method is applied after the training phase of the ANN and allows researchers to rank the input variables according to their importance in the variance of the ANN output. The computation of the sensitivity indices for product unit neural networks is straightforward as those indices can be calculated analytically by evaluating the integrals in the ANOVA decomposition. Unfortunately, the sensitivity indices associated with ANNs based on sigmoidal basis functions or radial basis functions cannot be calculated analytically. In this paper, the indices for those kinds of ANNs are proposed to be estimated by the (quasi-) Monte Carlo method.

Medical Dataset Classification: A Machine Learning Paradigm Integrating Particle Swarm Optimization with Extreme Learning Machine Classifier

Medical data classification is a prime data mining problem being discussed about for a decade that has attracted several researchers around the world. Most classifiers are designed so as to learn from the data itself using a training process, because complete expert knowledge to determine classifier parameters is impracticable. This paper proposes a hybrid methodology based on machine learning paradigm. This paradigm integrates the successful exploration mechanism called self-regulated learning capability of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with the extreme learning machine (ELM) classifier. As a recent off-line learning method, ELM is a single-hidden layer feedforward neural network (FFNN), proved to be an excellent classifier with large number of hidden layer neurons. In this research, PSO is used to determine the optimum set of parameters for the ELM, thus reducing the number of hidden layer neurons, and it further improves the network generalization performance. The proposed method is experimented on five benchmarked datasets of the UCI Machine Learning Repository for handling medical dataset classification. Simulation results show that the proposed approach is able to achieve good generalization performance, compared to the results of other classifiers.

HUMAN ACTION RECOGNITION USING META-COGNITIVE NEURO-FUZZY INFERENCE SYSTEM

We propose a sequential Meta-Cognitive learning algorithm for Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (McFIS) to efficiently recognize human actions from video sequence. Optical flow information between two consecutive image planes can represent actions hierarchically from local pixel level to global object level, and hence are used to describe the human action in McFIS classifier. McFIS classifier and its sequential learning algorithm is developed based on the principles of self-regulation observed in human meta-cognition. McFIS decides on what-to-learn, when-to-learn and how-to-learn based on the knowledge stored in the classifier and the information contained in the new training samples. The sequential learning algorithm of McFIS is controlled and monitored by the meta-cognitive components which uses class-specific, knowledge based criteria along with self-regulatory thresholds to decide on one of the following strategies: (i) Sample deletion (ii) Sample learning and (iii) Sample reserve. Performance of proposed McFIS based human action recognition system is evaluated using benchmark Weizmann and KTH video sequences. The simulation results are compared with well known SVM classifier and also with state-of-the-art action recognition results reported in the literature. The results clearly indicates McFIS action recognition system achieves better performances with minimal computational effort.
