To improve upon current methods, we propose a clustering algorithm which is capable of recasting regions into well-mixed clusters such that they have a high level of interconnection while minimizing the external flow of the population towards other clusters. Moreover, we analyze and identify so-called core clusters, clusters that retain their features over time (temporally stable) and independent of the presence or absence of policy measures. In order to demonstrate the capabilities of this algorithm, we use USA county-level cellular mobility data to divide the country into such clusters. Herein, we show a more granular spread of SARS-CoV-2 throughout the first weeks of the pandemic. Moreover, we are able to identify areas (groups of counties) that were experiencing above average levels of transmission within a state, as well as pan-state areas (clusters overlapping more than one state) with very similar disease spread. Therefore, our method enables policymakers to make more informed decisions on the use of public health interventions within their jurisdiction, as well as guide collaboration with surrounding regions to benefit the general population in controlling the spread of communicable diseases.","PeriodicalId":49870,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141318797","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering nonlinearity and nonstationarity in EEG signals, quantifying complexity has been preferred. To decipher abnormal epileptic EEGs, i.e., ictal and interictal EEGs, via short-term EEG recordings, a distribution entropy (DE) is used, motivated by its robustness on the signal length. In addition, to reflect the dynamic complexity inherent in EEGs, a multiscale entropy analysis is incorporated. Here, two multiscale distribution entropy (MDE) methods using the coarse-graining and moving-average procedures are presented. Using two popular epileptic EEG datasets, i.e., the Bonn and the Bern-Barcelona datasets, the performance of the proposed MDEs is verified. Experimental results show that the proposed MDEs are robust to the length of EEGs, thus reflecting complexity over multiple time scales. In addition, the proposed MDEs are consistent irrespective of the selection of short-term EEGs from the entire EEG recording. By evaluating the Man-Whitney U test and classification performance, the proposed MDEs can better discriminate epileptic EEGs than the existing methods. Moreover, the proposed MDE with the moving-average procedure performs marginally better than one with the coarse-graining. The experimental results suggest that the proposed MDEs are applicable to practical seizure detection applications.","PeriodicalId":49870,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141318795","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To effectively address potential dangers, a social group must swiftly communicate the threat throughout the collective while conserving energy in the event that the threat is unfounded. Through a combination of modeling, simulation, and empirical observations of alarm spread and damping patterns, we identified the behavioral rules governing this adaptive response. Experimental trials involving alarmed ant workers (Pogonomyrmex californicus) released into a tranquil group of nestmates revealed a consistent pattern of rapid alarm propagation followed by a comparatively extended decay period [1]. The experiments in [1] showed that individual ants exhibiting alarm behavior increased their movement speed, with variations in response to alarm stimuli, particularly during the peak of the reaction. We used the data in [1] to investigate whether these observed characteristics alone could account for the swift mobility increase and gradual decay of alarm excitement. Our self-propelled particle model incorporated a switch-like mechanism for ants' response to alarm signals and individual variations in the intensity of speed increased after encountering these signals. This study aligned with the established hypothesis that individual ants possess cognitive abilities to process and disseminate information, contributing to collective cognition within the colony (see [2] and the references therein). The elements examined in this research support this hypothesis by reproducing statistical features of the empirical speed distribution across various parameter values.","PeriodicalId":49870,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141318778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the similarities in Normal beat (N) and Supraventricular Premature Beat (S) categories and imbalance of ECG categories, arrhythmia classification cannot achieve satisfactory classification results under the inter-patient assessment paradigm. In this paper, a multi-path parallel deep convolutional neural network was proposed for arrhythmia classification. Furthermore, a global average RR interval was introduced to address the issue of similarities between N vs. S categories, and a weighted loss function was developed to solve the imbalance problem using the dynamically adjusted weights based on the proportion of each class in the input batch. The MIT-BIH arrhythmia dataset was used to validate the classification performances of the proposed method. Experimental results under the intra-patient evaluation paradigm and inter-patient evaluation paradigm showed that the proposed method could achieve better classification results than other methods. Among them, the accuracy, average sensitivity, average precision, and average specificity under the intra-patient paradigm were 98.73%, 94.89%, 89.38%, and 98.24%, respectively.

The feasibility and safety of MOWHTO for mild lateral meniscal tears are unknown. This study examined the feasibility and safety of knee joint weight-bearing line ratio (WBLr) adjustment during MOWHTO with lateral meniscal injuries. We used a healthy adult male's lower extremities computed tomography scans and knee joint magnetic resonance imaging images to create a normal fine element (FE) model. Based on this model, we generated nine FE models for the MOWHTO operation (WBLr: 40-80%) and 15 models for various lateral meniscal injuries. A compressive load of 650N was applied to all cases to calculate the von Mises stress (VMS), and the intact lateral meniscus' maximal VMS at 77.5% WBLr was accepted as the corrective upper limit stress. Our experimental results show that mild lateral meniscal tears can withstand MOWHTO, while severe tears cannot. Our findings expand the use of MOWHTO and provide a theoretical direction for practical decisions in patients with lateral meniscal injuries.","PeriodicalId":49870,"journal":{"name":"Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141318758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
