The VP7 and VP4 proteins of these viruses play critical roles in determining genotype specificity, influencing viral infectivity and host adaptation. This study employed machine-learning techniques to classify RVA genotypes based on the molecular and physicochemical properties of these proteins. A dataset of 94 VP7 and 68 VP4 protein sequences was collected from various host species. Seven machine-learning algorithms—Naïve Bayes (NB), logistic regression (LR), decision tree (DT), random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbour (kNN), support vector machine (SVM), and artificial neural network (ANN)—were used for genotype classification. Feature subsets were configured using ranking-based attribute selection, and classification performance was evaluated using accuracy (ACC), precision, recall, Matthews’ correlation coefficient (MCC), and the area under the curve (AUC). kNN demonstrated the highest classification accuracy for both VP7 (ACC = 97.87 %) and VP4 (ACC = 100 %), outperforming NB, LR, DT, RF, SVM, and ANN. For VP7 sequences, key properties influencing genotype classification included hydrophobicity, normalised van der Waals volume, and leucine composition. For VP4, polarity, normalised van der Waals volume, and polarizability were the most significant factors. In summary, the genotype-specific molecular features of VP7 and VP4 proteins served as reliable markers for RVA classification.

The usual way to measure blood sugar includes finger tingling to take a blood sample and this method can be painful or cause a health risk if the finger is not sterilized. Researchers were interested in developing painless methods to measure blood sugar levels. Infrared technology has shown promising results in painlessly measuring blood sugar levels by analyzing the sugar level through external sensors. Thus, the researchers have recently shifted to employ infrared sensors to measure blood sugar levels. This is due to these sensing devices offering promising results, however, further improvement to enhance their prediction outcomes is still demanded to replace the current figure prick gauges. This paper presents a system designed to measure blood sugar levels in a non-invasive manner through near-infrared technology. An infrared-emitting diode with a wavelength of 940 nm was used as a transmitter and a photodetector (BPW41N-ND) as a receptor of radiation by measuring infrared changes after passing through the tip of the index finger. The sensor measures blood sugar by developing a regression equation to analyze the collected data. Hence, a tailored equation was selected for Males and another model for Females. For males, an accuracy of 81.25 % was achieved, whereas 82.6 % was realized for females and 74.28 % for all. While the precision of 92.5 % and 94.1 % of males and females, and for all data, 91.07 %, was achieved.
