The fault diagnosis of this equipment has a great impact on mine production. The problem of incorrect classification of noisy data by traditional support vector machines is addressed by a proposed Probability Least Squares Support Vector Classification Machine (PLSSVCM). Samples that cannot be definitely determined as belonging to one class will be assigned to a class by the PLSSVCM based on a probability value. This gives the classification results both a qualitative explanation and a quantitative evaluation. Simulation results of a fault diagnosis show that the correct rate of the PLSSVCM is 100%. Even though samples are noisy, the PLSSVCM still can effectively realize multi-class fault diagnosis of a roller bearing. The generalization property of the PLSSVCM is better than that of a neural network and a LSSVCM.展开更多

There is a need for more economical and user friendly tests, particularly for use in developing countries. We have established one such test called the direct rapid immunohistochemical test (dRIT) for diagnosis of rabies using brain tissue. The test is based on capture of rabies nucleoprotein (N) antigen in brain smears using a cocktail of biotinylated monoclonal antibodies specific for the N protein and color development by streptavidin peroxidase-amino ethyl carbazole and counter staining with haematoxollin. The test was done in parallel with standard FAT dFA using 400 brain samples from different animals and humans. The rabies virus N protein appears under light microscope as reddish brown particles against a light blue background. There was 100 % correlation between the results obtained by the two tests. Also, interpretation of results by dRIT was easier and only required a light microscope. To conclude, this newly developed dRIT technique promises to be a simple, cost effective diagnostic tool for rabies and will have applicability in field conditions prevalent in developing countries.展开更多

Methods: Sixty patients, medically reported HIV negative, clinically suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis, were included in this study, and consented before enrolment. Sputum samples were gathered once, and tested by smear for Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB). Cultured in the Loewenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium for M. tuberculosis growth, M. tuberculosis DNA was detected by conventional PCR targeting IS6110, and hsp65 genes using specific primers, and automated nested real-time PCR targeting rpoB gene. Sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy were calculated for each method compared to culture. Results: Compared with culture as reference method, smear, IS6110, hsp65, and Xpert MTB/RIF had sensitivity 77.14%, 100%, 100%, and 100%, specificity 92%, 96%, 96%, and 96.97%, and diagnostic accuracy 83.33%, 98.33%, 98.33% and 98.21% respectively. Molecular diagnostic methods had the highest diagnostic accuracy, whereas smear had the lowest. No statistical significance, (p value > 0.05) was detected between the patients’ demographic data and the presence or absence of TB infection. Conclusion: The diagnostic accuracy that we got from the molecular methods, confirmed the diagnostic value of molecular detection of M. tuberculosis in pulmonary cases, supporting the application of automated and conventional PCR in rapid analysis. Smear could be more efficient when used for treatment monitoring. Combination between one-molecular techniques with smear as a routine method could be valid for rapid diagnosis of TB.展开更多

文摘Recently,computer aided diagnosis(CAD)model becomes an effective tool for decision making in healthcare sector.The advances in computer vision and artificial intelligence(AI)techniques have resulted in the effective design of CAD models,which enables to detection of the existence of diseases using various imaging modalities.Oral cancer(OC)has commonly occurred in head and neck globally.Earlier identification of OC enables to improve survival rate and reduce mortality rate.Therefore,the design of CAD model for OC detection and classification becomes essential.Therefore,this study introduces a novel Computer Aided Diagnosis for OC using Sailfish Optimization with Fusion based Classification(CADOC-SFOFC)model.The proposed CADOC-SFOFC model determines the existence of OC on the medical images.To accomplish this,a fusion based feature extraction process is carried out by the use of VGGNet-16 and Residual Network(ResNet)model.Besides,feature vectors are fused and passed into the extreme learning machine(ELM)model for classification process.Moreover,SFO algorithm is utilized for effective parameter selection of the ELM model,consequently resulting in enhanced performance.The experimental analysis of the CADOC-SFOFC model was tested on Kaggle dataset and the results reported the betterment of the CADOC-SFOFC model over the compared methods with maximum accuracy of 98.11%.Therefore,the CADOC-SFOFC model has maximum potential as an inexpensive and non-invasive tool which supports screening process and enhances the detection efficiency.
文摘Lung Cancer is one of the hazardous diseases that have to be detected in earlier stages for providing better treatment and clinical support to patients.For lung cancer diagnosis,the computed tomography(CT)scan images are to be processed with image processing techniques and effective classification process is required for appropriate cancer diagnosis.In present scenario of medical data processing,the cancer detection process is very time consuming and exactitude.For that,this paper develops an improved model for lung cancer segmentation and classification using genetic algorithm.In the model,the input CT images are pre-processed with the filters called adaptive median filter and average filter.The filtered images are enhanced with histogram equalization and the ROI(Regions of Interest)cancer tissues are segmented using Guaranteed Convergence Particle Swarm Optimization technique.For classification of images,Probabilistic Neural Networks(PNN)based classification is used.The experimentation is carried out by simulating the model in MATLAB,with the input CT lung images LIDC-IDRI(Lung Image Database Consortium-Image Database Resource Initiative)benchmark Dataset.The results ensure that the proposed model outperforms existing methods with accurate classification results with minimal processing time.

文摘Breast Cancer(BC)is considered the most commonly scrutinized can-cer in women worldwide,affecting one in eight women in a lifetime.Mammogra-phy screening becomes one such standard method that is helpful in identifying suspicious masses’malignancy of BC at an initial level.However,the prior iden-tification of masses in mammograms was still challenging for extremely dense and dense breast categories and needs an effective and automatic mechanisms for helping radiotherapists in diagnosis.Deep learning(DL)techniques were broadly utilized for medical imaging applications,particularly breast mass classi-fication.The advancements in the DL field paved the way for highly intellectual and self-reliant computer-aided diagnosis(CAD)systems since the learning cap-ability of Machine Learning(ML)techniques was constantly improving.This paper presents a new Hyperparameter Tuned Deep Hybrid Denoising Autoenco-der Breast Cancer Classification(HTDHDAE-BCC)on Digital Mammograms.The presented HTDHDAE-BCC model examines the mammogram images for the identification of BC.In the HTDHDAE-BCC model,the initial stage of image preprocessing is carried out using an average median filter.In addition,the deep convolutional neural network-based Inception v4 model is employed to generate feature vectors.The parameter tuning process uses the binary spider monkey opti-mization(BSMO)algorithm.The HTDHDAE-BCC model exploits chameleon swarm optimization(CSO)with the DHDAE model for BC classification.The experimental analysis of the HTDHDAE-BCC model is performed using the MIAS database.The experimental outcomes demonstrate the betterments of the HTDHDAE-BCC model over other recent approaches.
文摘Recently,computer assisted diagnosis(CAD)model creation has become more dependent on medical picture categorization.It is often used to identify several conditions,including brain disorders,diabetic retinopathy,and skin cancer.Most traditional CAD methods relied on textures,colours,and forms.Because many models are issue-oriented,they need a more substantial capacity to generalize and cannot capture high-level problem domain notions.Recent deep learning(DL)models have been published,providing a practical way to develop models specifically for classifying input medical pictures.This paper offers an intelligent beetle antenna search(IBAS-DTL)method for classifying medical images facilitated by deep transfer learning.The IBAS-DTL model aims to recognize and classify medical pictures into various groups.In order to segment medical pictures,the current IBASDTLM model first develops an entropy based weighting and first-order cumulative moment(EWFCM)approach.Additionally,the DenseNet-121 techniquewas used as a module for extracting features.ABASwith an extreme learning machine(ELM)model is used to classify the medical photos.A wide variety of tests were carried out using a benchmark medical imaging dataset to demonstrate the IBAS-DTL model’s noteworthy performance.The results gained indicated the IBAS-DTL model’s superiority over its pre-existing techniques.
文摘Use of deep learning algorithms for the investigation and analysis of medical images has emerged as a powerful technique.The increase in retinal dis-eases is alarming as it may lead to permanent blindness if left untreated.Automa-tion of the diagnosis process of retinal diseases not only assists ophthalmologists in correct decision-making but saves time also.Several researchers have worked on automated retinal disease classification but restricted either to hand-crafted fea-ture selection or binary classification.This paper presents a deep learning-based approach for the automated classification of multiple retinal diseases using fundus images.For this research,the data has been collected and combined from three distinct sources.The images are preprocessed for enhancing the details.Six layers of the convolutional neural network(CNN)are used for the automated feature extraction and classification of 20 retinal diseases.It is observed that the results are reliant on the number of classes.For binary classification(healthy vs.unhealthy),up to 100%accuracy has been achieved.When 16 classes are used(treating stages of a disease as a single class),93.3%accuracy,92%sensitivity and 93%specificity have been obtained respectively.For 20 classes(treating stages of the disease as separate classes),the accuracy,sensitivity and specificity have dropped to 92.4%,92%and 92%respectively.
文摘Presently the gold standard diagnostic technique for rabies is the direct immunofluorescence assay ( dFA) which is very expensive and requires a high level of expertise. There is a need for more economical and user friendly tests, particularly for use in developing countries. We have established one such test called the direct rapid immunohistochemical test (dRIT) for diagnosis of rabies using brain tissue. The test is based on capture of rabies nucleoprotein (N) antigen in brain smears using a cocktail of biotinylated monoclonal antibodies specific for the N protein and color development by streptavidin peroxidase-amino ethyl carbazole and counter staining with haematoxollin. The test was done in parallel with standard FAT dFA using 400 brain samples from different animals and humans. The rabies virus N protein appears under light microscope as reddish brown particles against a light blue background. There was 100 % correlation between the results obtained by the two tests. Also, interpretation of results by dRIT was easier and only required a light microscope. To conclude, this newly developed dRIT technique promises to be a simple, cost effective diagnostic tool for rabies and will have applicability in field conditions prevalent in developing countries.

文摘Nitrogen(N)and potassium(K)are two key mineral nutrient elements involved in rice growth.Accurate diagnosis of N and K status is very important for the rational application of fertilizers at a specific rice growth stage.Therefore,we propose a hybrid model for diagnosing rice nutrient levels at the early panicle initiation stage(EPIS),which combines a convolutional neural network(CNN)with an attention mechanism and a long short-term memory network(LSTM).The model was validated on a large set of sequential images collected by an unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)from rice canopies at different growth stages during a two-year experiment.Compared with VGG16,AlexNet,GoogleNet,DenseNet,and inceptionV3,ResNet101 combined with LSTM obtained the highest average accuracy of 83.81%on the dataset of Huanghuazhan(HHZ,an indica cultivar).When tested on the datasets of HHZ and Xiushui 134(XS134,a japonica rice variety)in 2021,the ResNet101-LSTM model enhanced with the squeeze-and-excitation(SE)block achieved the highest accuracies of 85.38 and 88.38%,respectively.Through the cross-dataset method,the average accuracies on the HHZ and XS134 datasets tested in 2022 were 81.25 and 82.50%,respectively,showing a good generalization.Our proposed model works with the dynamic information of different rice growth stages and can efficiently diagnose different rice nutrient status levels at EPIS,which are helpful for making practical decisions regarding rational fertilization treatments at the panicle initiation stage.
文摘Purpose: To evaluate diagnostic accuracy of IS6110 insertion genes, hsp65, and Xpert MTB/RIF for rapid diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods: Sixty patients, medically reported HIV negative, clinically suspected of having pulmonary tuberculosis, were included in this study, and consented before enrolment. Sputum samples were gathered once, and tested by smear for Acid Fast Bacilli (AFB). Cultured in the Loewenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium for M. tuberculosis growth, M. tuberculosis DNA was detected by conventional PCR targeting IS6110, and hsp65 genes using specific primers, and automated nested real-time PCR targeting rpoB gene. Sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy were calculated for each method compared to culture. Results: Compared with culture as reference method, smear, IS6110, hsp65, and Xpert MTB/RIF had sensitivity 77.14%, 100%, 100%, and 100%, specificity 92%, 96%, 96%, and 96.97%, and diagnostic accuracy 83.33%, 98.33%, 98.33% and 98.21% respectively. Molecular diagnostic methods had the highest diagnostic accuracy, whereas smear had the lowest. No statistical significance, (p value > 0.05) was detected between the patients’ demographic data and the presence or absence of TB infection. Conclusion: The diagnostic accuracy that we got from the molecular methods, confirmed the diagnostic value of molecular detection of M. tuberculosis in pulmonary cases, supporting the application of automated and conventional PCR in rapid analysis. Smear could be more efficient when used for treatment monitoring. Combination between one-molecular techniques with smear as a routine method could be valid for rapid diagnosis of TB.
文摘The motivation for this article is to propose new damage classifiers based on a supervised learning problem for locating and quantifying damage.A new feature extraction approach using time series analysis is introduced to extract damage-sensitive features from auto-regressive models.This approach sets out to improve current feature extraction techniques in the context of time series modeling.The coefficients and residuals of the AR model obtained from the proposed approach are selected as the main features and are applied to the proposed supervised learning classifiers that are categorized as coefficient-based and residual-based classifiers.These classifiers compute the relative errors in the extracted features between the undamaged and damaged states.Eventually,the abilities of the proposed methods to localize and quantify single and multiple damage scenarios are verified by applying experimental data for a laboratory frame and a four-story steel structure.Comparative analyses are performed to validate the superiority of the proposed methods over some existing techniques.Results show that the proposed classifiers,with the aid of extracted features from the proposed feature extraction approach,are able to locate and quantify damage;however,the residual-based classifiers yield better results than the coefficient-based classifiers.Moreover,these methods are superior to some classical techniques.
