Neural network based clinical decision support system for the calculation the initial continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion settings by D. N. Laptev, D. Y. Sorokin

“…BACKGROUND: Despite existing recommendations for the initial calculation of insulin pump settings, the process is largely subjective and depends on the physician’s personal experience.AIM: Development of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) that determines the initial settings of the insulin pump, which would have satisfactory agreement with the expert opinion of physicians.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Neural network model developed using data (continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) settings, age, weight, total daily dose, and HbA1c) from 2850 children with T1D who were switched to CSII and achieved optimal glycemic control according to glucose levels. …”

Difference analysis of soil nutrients, enzymatic activities and microbial community structure between eggplant continuous cropping and rotation by LI Xuqing, ZHANG Ya, TIAN Zhongling, WU Genliang

“…However, the diseases occurred on eggplants, particularly soil-borne diseases became increasingly severe, which hampered sustainable development of eggplant production. Based on our investigation, eggplant rotation is able to reduce the occurrence of diseases significantly, but its mechanism has not been explained clearly.In this study, we collected soil samples from different fields cultivated by eggplant continuous cropping and rotation to analyze their nutrients, enzymatic activities and microbial community structure using high throughput sequencing technique.The results showed that the contents of available P, Ca, Mg and Mn decreased significantly, and the activities of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), urease (UE), alkaline protease (ALPT) decreased; the number of bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) reduced but fungal OTUs increased, and the bacterial and fungal diversity indexes decreased and the dominance index increased in fields with four-year continuous cropping (eggplant-eggplant-eggplant-eggplant, EEEE), as compared with different eggplant rotation fields. …”
