Bridges are prone to severe deterioration agents which promote their degradation over the course of their lifetime. Furthermore, maintenance budgets are being trimmed. This state of circumstances entails the development of a computer vision-based method for the condition assessment of bridge elements in an attempt to circumvent the drawbacks of visual inspection-based models. Scaling is progressive local flaking or loss in the surface portion of concrete that affects the functional and structural integrity of reinforced concrete bridges. As such, this research study proposes a self-adaptive three-tier method for the automated detection and assessment of scaling severity levels in reinforced concrete bridges. The first tier relies on the integration of cross entropy function and grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm for the segmentation of scaling pixels. The second tier is designated for the autonomous interpretation of scaling area. In this model, a hybrid feature extraction algorithm is proposed based on the fusion of singular value decomposition and discrete wavelet transform for the efficient and robust extraction of the most dominant features in scaling images. Then an integration of Elman neural network and GWO algorithm is proposed for the sake of improving the prediction accuracies of scaling area though optimization of both structure and parameters of Elman neural network. The third tier aims at establishing a unified scaling severity index to assess the extent of severities of scaling according to its area and depth. The developed method is validated through multi-layered comparative analysis that involved performance evaluation comparisons, statistical comparisons and box plots. Results demonstrated that the developed scaling detection model significantly outperformed a set of widely-utilized classical segmentation models achieving mean squared error, mean absolute error, peak signal to noise ratio and cross entropy of 0.175, 0.407, 55.754 and 26011.019, respectively. With regards to the developed scaling evaluation model, it accomplished remarkable better and more robust performance that other meta-heuristic-based Elman neural network models and conventional prediction models. In this context, it obtained mean absolute percentage error, root-mean squared error and mean absolute error 1.513%, 29.836 and 12.066, respectively, as per split validation. It is anticipated that the developed integrated computer vision-based method could serve as the basis of automated, reliable and cost-effective inspection platform of reinforced concrete bridges which can assist departments of transportation in taking effective preventive maintenance and rehabilitation actions.

BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness due to vascular aging is a major indicator for evaluating cardiovascular risk. OBJECTIVE In this study, we propose a method of estimating age by applying machine learning to photoplethysmogram for non-invasive vascular age assessment. METHODS The machine learning-based age estimation model that consists of three convolutional layers and two-layer fully connected layers, was developed using segmented photoplethysmogram by pulse from a total of 752 adults aged 19–87 years. The performance of the developed model was quantitatively evaluated using mean absolute error, root-mean-squared-error, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, coefficient of determination. The Grad-Cam was used to explain the contribution of photoplethysmogram waveform characteristic in vascular age estimation. RESULTS Mean absolute error of 8.03, root mean squared error of 9.96, 0.62 of correlation coefficient, and 0.38 of coefficient of determination were shown through 10-fold cross validation. Grad-Cam, used to determine the weight that the input signal contributes to the result, confirmed that the contribution to the age estimation of the photoplethysmogram segment was high around the systolic peak. CONCLUSIONS The machine learning-based vascular aging analysis method using the PPG waveform showed comparable or superior performance compared to previous studies without complex feature detection in evaluating vascular aging.

Abstract Predictive models that accurately emulate complex scientific processes can achieve speed-ups over numerical simulators or experiments and at the same time provide surrogates for improving the subsequent analysis. Consequently, there is a recent surge in utilizing modern machine learning methods to build data-driven emulators. In this work, we study an often overlooked, yet important, problem of choosing loss functions while designing such emulators. Popular choices such as the mean squared error or the mean absolute error are based on a symmetric noise assumption and can be unsuitable for heterogeneous data or asymmetric noise distributions. We propose Learn-by-Calibrating, a novel deep learning approach based on interval calibration for designing emulators that can effectively recover the inherent noise structure without any explicit priors. Using a large suite of use-cases, we demonstrate the efficacy of our approach in providing high-quality emulators, when compared to widely-adopted loss function choices, even in small-data regimes.

Electricity energy is vital in social and economic for nation development. The electricity consumption analysis plays an important role for sustainable energy and electricity resources management in the future. In this paper, the influence of demographical variables on the annual electricity consumption in Nakhonratchasima has been investigated by multiple regression analysis. It is founded that the electricity consumption correlated with four demographic variables, which are the number of electricity consumers, the amount of high speed diesel usages, the number of industrial factory and the number of employed labor force. The historical electricity consumption and all variables for the period 20022010 have been analyzed in 8 models for electricity prediction in 2011. In conclusion, the effective model has been selected by comparison of adjusted R2, mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean squared error (RMSE) of the proposed models. Model 8 is acceptable in relation to electricity consumption analysis with adjusted-R2, RMSE and MAE equal to 0.9980, 0.7540% and 0.6095% respectively. The results indicate that the model using all four variables has strong ability to predict future annual electricity consumption with 4,195,837,877 kWh in 2011.

Over the years, fire departments have been searching for methods to identify their operational disruptions and establish strategies that allow them to efficiently organize their resources. The present work develops a methodology for breakage calculation and another for predicting disruptions based on machine learning techniques. The main objective is to establish indicators to identify the failures due to the temporal state of the organization in the human and vehicular material. Likewise, by forecasting disruptions, to determine strategies for the deployment or acquisition of the necessary armament. This would allow improving operational resilience and increasing the efficiency of the firemen over time. The methodology was applied to the Departmental Fire and Rescue Doubs (SDIS25) in France. However, it is generic enough to be extended and adapted to other fire departments. Considering a historic of breakdowns of 2017 and 2018, the best predictions of public service breakdowns for the year 2019, presented a root mean squared error of 2.5602 and a mean absolute error of 2.0240 on average with the XGBoost technique.

O teste de caminhada de seis minutos - TC6’- é amplamente utilizado para avaliação da capacidade física e do prognóstico de diversas doenças, em que a distância percorrida no TC6’ (DTC6’) é uma das principais variáveis para interpretá-lo. Vários estudos desenvolveram equações para obter a distância predita no TC6’ - DPTC6’, porém as equações de predição mais conhecidas na literatura foram desenvolvidas com indivíduos saudáveis. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar e correlacionar a DTC6’com a DPTC6’ por meio das equações de Enright et al. e Iwama et al. em pacientes com doenças do aparelho respiratório e/ou cardiovascular e verificar o comportamento da variável idade entre as diferentes faixas etárias da população estudada. Foram analisados 350 testes realizados em indivíduos de 18 a 86 anos, separados em seis grupos por faixa etária. Calculou-se a correlação, o erro quadrático médio e erro absoluto médio para comparar DTC6’ com a DPTC6’ pelas equações. Observou-se correlação média positiva entre as DTC6’ e DPTC6’. Houve diferença estatisticamente significante (p<0.0001) entre as DTC6’ entre jovens e idosos. Os menores valores totais de erro quadrático médio e erro absoluto médio foram de Iwama et al. Concluiu-se que as três equações se correlacionam em intensidades parecidas com as distâncias percorridas. A variável idade interferiu nos resultados. A equação de Iwama et al. foi a que melhor previu a DTC6’ nos indivíduos em questão até os 50 anos de idade se assemelhando a equação de Enright e Sherrill nos grupos mais velhos. A equação de Troosters et al. superestimou a DTC6’ em todos os grupos etários.Palavras-chave: Doenças Respiratórias. Testes Respiratórios. Avaliação da Capacidade de Trabalho.AbstractThe six-minute walk test (6MWT) is widely used for evaluation of physical capacity and prognosis of various diseases and the six-minute walk distance (6MWD) is one of the main variable to interpret it. Several studies have developed equations to obtain the six-minute walk distance predicted values (6MWDP), however, the most known prediction equations in the literature were developed with healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to analyze and correlate the 6MWD to 6MWDP by three references equations for prediction, Enright et al. and Iwama et al. 350 tests performed were analyzed in patients aged18 to 86 years old, divided into six groups. Correlation, mean squared error and mean absolute error were calculated to compare the 6MWD to 6MWDP by the equations. There was a positive correlation between the average of 6MWD and 6MWDP. There was a significant difference (p <0.0001) in 6MWD between young and elderly people. The lowest total values of mean squared error and mean absolute error were from Iwama et al. It was concluded that the three predictive equations correlate in similar intensities with the distances walked. Iwamaet al.’s equation was the one that best predicts the 6MWD in groups with individuals up to 50 years old and was similar to Enright and Sherrill equation in older groups. Troosters et al. equation overestimated the 6MWD in all age groups.Keywords: Respiratory Tract Diseases. Breathing Tests. Work Capacity Evaluation.

We present a small molecule pKa prediction tool entirely written in Python. It predicts the macroscopic pKa value and is trained on a literature compilation of monoprotic compounds. Different machine learning models were tested and random forest performed best given a five-fold cross-validation (mean absolute error=0.682, root mean squared error=1.032, correlation coefficient r2 =0.82). We test our model on two external validation sets, where our model performs comparable to Marvin and is better than a recently published open source model. Our Python tool and all data is freely available at https://github.com/czodrowskilab/Machine-learning-meets-pKa.
