With over 6000 rivers and 5358 lakes, surface water is one of the most important resources in Nepal. However, the quantity and quality of Nepal’s rivers and lakes are decreasing due to human activities and climate change. Therefore, the monitoring and estimation of surface water is an essential task. In Nepal, surface water has different characteristics such as varying temperature, turbidity, depth, and vegetation cover, for which remote sensing technology plays a vital role. Single or multiple water index methods have been applied in the classification of surface water with satisfactory results. In recent years, machine learning methods with training datasets, have been outperforming different traditional methods. In this study, we tried to use satellite images from Landsat 8 to classify surface water in Nepal. Input of Landsat bands and ground truth from high resolution images available form Google Earth is used, and their performance is evaluated based on overall accuracy. The study will be will helpful to select optimum machine learning methods for surface water classification and therefore, monitoring and management of surface water in Nepal.

Abstract INTRODUCTION New non-invasive technologies for improving early diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) are demanded by clinicians. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) provides sub-surface structural information and offers diagnosis capabilities of colon polyps, further improved by machine learning methods. Databases of OCT images are necessary to facilitate algorithms development and testing. MATERIALS AND METHODS A database has been acquired from rat colonic samples with a Thorlabs OCT system with 930nm centre wavelength that provides 1.2KHz A-scan rate, 7μm axial resolution in air, 4μm lateral resolution, 1.7mm imaging depth in air, 6mm x 6mm FOV, and 107dB sensitivity. The colon from anaesthetised animals has been excised and samples have been extracted and preserved for ex-vivo analysis with the OCT equipment. RESULTS This database consists of OCT 3D volumes (C-scans) and 2D images (B-scans) of murine samples from: 1) healthy tissue, for ground-truth comparison (18 samples; 66 C-scans; 17,478 B-scans); 2) hyperplastic polyps, obtained from an induced colorectal hyperplastic murine model (47 samples; 153 C-scans; 42,450 B-scans); 3) neoplastic polyps (adenomatous and adenocarcinomatous), obtained from clinically validated Pirc F344/NTac-Apcam1137 rat model (232 samples; 564 C-scans; 158,557 B-scans); and 4) unknown tissue (polyp adjacent, presumably healthy) (98 samples; 157 C-scans; 42,070 B-scans). CONCLUSIONS A novel extensive ex-vivo OCT database of murine CRC model has been obtained and will be openly published for the research community. It can be used for classification/segmentation machine learning methods, for correlation between OCT features and histopathological structures, and for developing new non-invasive in-situ methods of diagnosis of colorectal cancer.

: Protein-ligand interactions are necessary for majority protein functions. Adenosine-5’-triphosphate (ATP) is one such ligand that plays vital role as a coenzyme in providing energy for cellular activities, catalyzing biological reaction and signaling. Knowing ATP binding residues of proteins is helpful for annotation of protein function and drug design. However, due to the huge amounts of protein sequences influx into databases in the post-genome era, experimentally identifying ATP binding residues is cost-ineffective and time-consuming. To address this problem, computational methods have been developed to predict ATP binding residues. In this review, we briefly summarized the application of machine learning methods in detecting ATP binding residues of proteins. We expect this review will be helpful for further research.
