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. …”
