An Introduction to the Special Issue “Protein Glycation in Food, Nutrition, Health and Disease” by Naila Rabbani (291722)

“…The keynote speaker was Lasker Laureate Professor Kazutoshi Mori, speaking on the unfolded protein response, and there were sessions on: glycation in obesity, diabetes, and diabetic complications; glycation in food; glycation through the life course—from maternal bonding to aging; glycation in plants—physiology, function, and food security; glycation in the COVID-19 response; glycation analytics and chemistry; glycation in kidney disease, cancer, and mental health; glycation-related imaging, diagnostic algorithms, and therapeutics; and methods and models in glycation research. …”

Artificial intelligence in respiratory care by Manjush Karthika (18384907)

“…Despite barriers, the current decade is witnessing an increased utility of AI into diverse specialities of the medical field to enhance precision medicine, predict diagnosis, therapeutic results, and prognosis; this includes respiratory medicine, critical care, and in their allied specialties. AI algorithms are widely studied in areas like mechanical ventilation, sleep medicine, lung ultrasound, and pulmonary function diagnostics and the results are found to be promising. …”

Intelligent Bilateral Client Selection in Federated Learning Using Game Theory by Wehbi, Osama

“…Our solution involves designing (1) preference functions for the client IoT devices and federated servers to allow them to rank each other according to several factors such as accuracy and price, (2) intelligent matching algorithms that take into account the preferences of both parties in their design, and (3) bootstrapping technique that capitalizes on the collaboration of multiple federated servers in order to assign initial accuracy value for the new connected IoT devices. …”

Assessment of calcified aortic valve leaflet deformations and blood flow dynamics using fluid-structure interaction modeling by Armin, Amindari

“…Aortic valve diseases are among the most common cardiovascular defects. Since a non-functioning valve results in disturbed blood flow conditions, the diagnosis of such defects is based on identification of stenosis via echocardiography. …”

Cohen syndrome and early-onset epileptic encephalopathy in male triplets: two disease-causing mutations in VPS13B and NAPB by Alice AbdelAleem (17753799)

“…Interestingly, the functions of the two proteins; VPS13B, a transmembrane protein involved in intracellular protein transport, and SNAP-beta involved in neurotransmitters release at the neuronal synaptic complexes, have been associated with Golgi-mediated vesicular trafficking. …”

Determining the Factors Affecting the Boiling Heat Transfer Coefficient of Sintered Coated Porous Surfaces by Uzair Sajjad (19646296)

“…In this regard, two Bayesian optimization algorithms including Gaussian process regression (GPR) and gradient boosting regression trees (GBRT) are used for tuning the hyper-parameters (number of input and dense nodes, number of dense layers, activation function, batch size, Adam decay, and learning rate) of the deep neural network. …”
