ABSRACTIsobaric labelling is a highly precise approach for protein quantification. However, due to the isolation interference problem, isobaric tagging suffers from ratio underestimation at the MS2 level. The use of narrow isolation widths is a rational approach to alleviate the interference problem; however, this approach compromises proteome coverage. We reasoned that although a very narrow isolation window will result in loss of peptide fragment ions, the reporter ion signals will be retained for a significant portion of the spectra. Based on this assumption we have designed a Dual Isolation Width Acquisition (DIWA) method, in which each precursor is first fragmented with HCD using a standard isolation width for peptide identification and preliminary quantification, followed by a second MS2 HCD scan using a much narrower isolation width for the acquisition of quantitative spectra with reduced interference. We leverage the quantification obtained by the “narrow” scans to build linear regression models and apply these to decompress the fold-changes measured at the “standard” scans. We evaluate the DIWA approach using a nested two species/gene knockout TMT-6plex experimental design and discuss the perspectives of this approach.

ABSTRACTMotivationThe peptide-centric identification methodologies of data-independent acquisition (DIA) data mainly rely on scores for the mass spectrometric signals of targeted peptides. Among these scores, the coelution scores of peak groups constructed by the chromatograms of peptide fragment ions have a significant influence on the identification. Most of the existing coelution scores are achieved by artificially designing some functions in terms of the shape similarity, retention time shift of peak groups. However, these scores cannot characterize the coelution robustly when the peak group is in the circumstance of interference.ResultsOn the basis that the neural network is more powerful to learn the implicit features of data robustly from a large number of samples, and thus minimizing the influence of data noise, in this work, we propose Alpha-XIC, a neural network-based model to score the coelution. By learning the characteristics of the coelution of peak groups derived from identified peptides, Alpha-XIC is capable of reporting robust coelution scores even for peak groups with interference. With this score appending to initial scores generated by the accompanying identification engine, the ensuing statistical validation tool can update the identification result and recover the misidentified peptides. In our evaluation of the HeLa dataset with gradient lengths ranging from 0.5h to 2h, Alpha-XIC delivered 16.7% ~ 49.1% improvements in the number of identified precursors at 1% FDR. Furthermore, Alpha-XIC was tested on LFQbench, a mixed-species dataset with known ratios, and increased the number of peptides and proteins fell within valid ratios by up to 16.6% and 13.8%, respectively, compared to the initial identification.Availability and ImplementationSource code are available at www.github.com/YuAirLab/Alpha-XIC.

Offering credit is the main activity of a Bank. There are some considerations when a bank offers credit, that includes Interest Rates, Inflation, and NPL. This study aims to find out the impact of Variable Interest Rates, Inflation variables and NPL variables on credit disbursed. The object in this study is state-owned banks. The method of analysis in this study uses multiple linear regression models. The results of the study have shown that Interest Rates and NPL gave some negative impacts on the given credit. Meanwhile, Inflation variable does not have a significant effect on credit given. Keywords: Interest Rate, Inflation, NPL, offered Credit.

The main objective of this study is to examine a hypothesis that the predictive content of normal income disaggregated into operating income and nonoperating income outperforms that of aggregated normal income in predicting future cash flow. To test the hypothesis, linear regression models are developed. The model parameters are estimated based on fifty-five manufacturing firms listed in the Jakarta Stock Exchange (JSX) up to the end of 1997.This study finds that empirical evidence supports the hypothesis. This evidence supports arguments that, in reporting income from continuing operations, multiple-step approach is preferred to single-step one.

Abstract Background Malaria surveillance is critical for monitoring changes in malaria morbidity over time. National Malaria Control Programmes often rely on surrogate measures of malaria incidence, including the test positivity rate (TPR) and total laboratory confirmed cases of malaria (TCM), to monitor trends in malaria morbidity. However, there are limited data on the accuracy of TPR and TCM for predicting temporal changes in malaria incidence, especially in high burden settings. Methods This study leveraged data from 5 malaria reference centres (MRCs) located in high burden settings over a 15-month period from November 2018 through January 2020 as part of an enhanced health facility-based surveillance system established in Uganda. Individual level data were collected from all outpatients including demographics, laboratory test results, and village of residence. Estimates of malaria incidence were derived from catchment areas around the MRCs. Temporal relationships between monthly aggregate measures of TPR and TCM relative to estimates of malaria incidence were examined using linear and exponential regression models. Results A total of 149,739 outpatient visits to the 5 MRCs were recorded. Overall, malaria was suspected in 73.4% of visits, 99.1% of patients with suspected malaria received a diagnostic test, and 69.7% of those tested for malaria were positive. Temporal correlations between monthly measures of TPR and malaria incidence using linear and exponential regression models were relatively poor, with small changes in TPR frequently associated with large changes in malaria incidence. Linear regression models of temporal changes in TCM provided the most parsimonious and accurate predictor of changes in malaria incidence, with adjusted R2 values ranging from 0.81 to 0.98 across the 5 MRCs. However, the slope of the regression lines indicating the change in malaria incidence per unit change in TCM varied from 0.57 to 2.13 across the 5 MRCs, and when combining data across all 5 sites, the R2 value reduced to 0.38. Conclusions In high malaria burden areas of Uganda, site-specific temporal changes in TCM had a strong linear relationship with malaria incidence and were a more useful metric than TPR. However, caution should be taken when comparing changes in TCM across sites.
