Bidirectional predictors between baseline and recovery sleep measures and cardiovascular measures during sleep deprivation and psychological stress by Lauren N. Pasetes, Kathleen M. Rosendahl‐Garcia, Namni Goel

“…Notably, females showed significant predictive bidirectional relationships. Our novel results demonstrate that baseline sleep predicts CV metrics during TSD and psychological stress, and that these metrics predict recovery sleep, underscoring crucial relationships, mechanisms, and biomarkers between sleep and cardiovascular health.…”

Tuning and validation of a virtual mechanical testing pipeline for condylar stress fracture risk assessment in Thoroughbred racehorses by Soroush Irandoust, Chris Whitton, Corinne Henak, Peter Muir

“…Half of the specimens were used for tuning Young’s modulus in fatigue sites, and the other half were used to evaluate the validity of the pipeline in predicting PSG strain. The tuned model improved the prediction of strain and predicted higher strain in bones with PSG lysis over the untuned model, which is an essential feature for a diagnostic screening tool. …”

Changes of physiological and biochemical indexes of tea plant leaves under lead aerosol stress and their rapid spectral detection by CHEN Haitian, ZHOU Xuejun, SHA Junjing, LI Xiaoli, WANG Jin, HE Yong

“…Support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN) were used to establish quantitative prediction models for monitoring the physiological and biochemical indexes based on the characteristic wave-band of the mid-infrared spectrum, proving that the mid-infrared spectrum could be a potential approach for the rapid detection of physiological and biochemical indexes in tea plants under the lead aerosol stress, and the ANN model showed better effects than the SVM model. …”
