A Chemoinformatics Investigation of Spectral and Quantum Chemistry Patterns for Discovering New Drug Leads from Natural Products Targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 Immune Checkpoint, with a... by Henrique Rabelo, Ayana Tsimiante, Yuri Binev, Florbela Pereira

“…The LightGBM (Light Gradient-Boosted Machine), a tree-based ML technique, emerged as the most effective approach and was used for building the quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) classification model. (3) Conclusions: The model incorporating 570 spectral descriptors from NMR SPINUS was selected for the optimization process, and this approach yielded results for the external test set with a sensitivity of 0.74, specificity of 0.81, overall predictive accuracy of 0.78, and Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) of 0.55. …”

Toward a Data‐Effective Calibration of a Fully Distributed Catchment Water Quality Model by Salman Ghaffar, Xiangqian Zhou, Seifeddine Jomaa, Xiaoqiang Yang, Günter Meon, Michael Rode

“…Abstract Distributed hydrological water quality models are increasingly being used to manage natural resources at the catchment scale but there are no calibration guidelines for selecting the most effective gauging stations. In this study, we investigated the influence of calibration schemes on the spatiotemporal performance of a fully distributed process‐based hydrological water quality model (mHM‐Nitrate) for discharge and nitrate simulations at the Bode catchment in central Germany. …”

Pooled analysis of oral microbiome profiles defines robust signatures associated with periodontitis by Assem Soueidan, Katia Idiri, Camille Becchina, Pauline Esparbès, Arnaud Legrand, Quentin Le Bastard, Emmanuel Montassier

“…By metagenomic sequencing of the plaque microbiome, we found microbial signatures for periodontitis and defined a periodontitis-related complex, composed by the most discriminative bacteria. A simple two-factor decision tree, based on Tannerella forsythia and Fretibacterium fastidiosum, was associated with periodontitis with high accuracy (area under the curve: 0.94). …”
