Engine knock detection for a multifuel engine using engine block vibration with statistical approach.

ABSTRACT: Engine knock is an obstacle for maximizing CNG fuel utilization on a Diesel-CNG Dual Fuel engine. Prolong experience of this phenomenon may lead to severe engine damage. The low intensity of this phenomenon is difficult to recognize due to other noises from the engine. Thus, improper engine tuning techniques may make this phenomenon unnoticeable until the engine damages. Knock phenomena on such engines may not be detected in the combustion analysis graph. Its random occurrence in consecutive engine cycles makes it difficult to be seen using visual data. This knowledge gap, if closed, can lead to an opportunity for knock avoidance on the multifuel engine. This work proposed a method to quantify the knock occurrence based on engine block vibration using a single piezoelectric knock sensor. The knock occurrence was detected by comparing the calculated knock index with the knock threshold, determined using a statistical three-sigma rule analysis. This method can index the knock intensity, detect the engine knock occurrence, and visualize the knock phenomenon.•This paper describes an alternative engine knock detection technique based on engine block vibration.•This method proposes the knock threshold determination based on statistical three-sigma rule analysis.•This method is capable of visualizing the knock phenomenon in consecutive and at each engine cycle.

Enhanced Missing Proteins Detection in NCI60 Cell Lines Using an Integrative Search Engine Approach.

Project description:The Human Proteome Project (HPP) aims deciphering the complete map of the human proteome. In the past few years, significant efforts of the HPP teams have been dedicated to the experimental detection of the missing proteins, which lack reliable mass spectrometry evidence of their existence. In this endeavor, an in depth analysis of shotgun experiments might represent a valuable resource to select a biological matrix in design validation experiments. In this work, we used all the proteomic experiments from the NCI60 cell lines and applied an integrative approach based on the results obtained from Comet, Mascot, OMSSA, and X!Tandem. This workflow benefits from the complementarity of these search engines to increase the proteome coverage. Five missing proteins C-HPP guidelines compliant were identified, although further validation is needed. Moreover, 165 missing proteins were detected with only one unique peptide, and their functional analysis supported their participation in cellular pathways as was also proposed in other studies. Finally, we performed a combined analysis of the gene expression levels and the proteomic identifications from the common cell lines between the NCI60 and the CCLE project to suggest alternatives for further validation of missing protein observations.

A statistical physics approach for disease module detection.

Project description:Extensive evidence indicates that the pathobiological processes of a complex disease are associated with perturbation in specific neighborhoods of the human protein-protein interaction (PPI) network (also known as the interactome), often referred to as the disease module. Many computational methods have been developed to integrate the interactome and omics profiles to extract context-dependent disease modules. Yet, existing methods all have fundamental limitations in terms of rigor and/or efficiency. Here, we developed a statistical physics approach based on the random-field Ising model (RFIM) for disease module detection, which is both mathematically rigorous and computationally efficient. We applied our RFIM approach to genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of ten complex diseases to examine its performance for disease module detection. We found that our RFIM approach outperforms existing methods in terms of computational efficiency, connectivity of disease modules, and robustness to the interactome incompleteness.

HCV genotyping using statistical classification approach.

Project description:The genotype of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) strains is an important determinant of the severity and aggressiveness of liver infection as well as patient response to antiviral therapy. Fast and accurate determination of viral genotype could provide direction in the clinical management of patients with chronic HCV infections. Using publicly available HCV nucleotide sequences, we built a global Position Weight Matrix (PWM) for the HCV genome. Based on the PWM, a set of genotype specific nucleotide sequence "signatures" were selected from the 5' NCR, CORE, E1, and NS5B regions of the HCV genome. We evaluated the predictive power of these signatures for predicting the most common HCV genotypes and subtypes. We observed that nucleotide sequence signatures selected from NS5B and E1 regions generally demonstrated stronger discriminant power in differentiating major HCV genotypes and subtypes than that from 5' NCR and CORE regions. Two discriminant methods were used to build predictive models. Through 10 fold cross validation, over 99% prediction accuracy was achieved using both support vector machine (SVM) and random forest based classification methods in a dataset of 1134 sequences for NS5B and 947 sequences for E1. Prediction accuracy for each genotype is also reported.

Humanization of Antibodies using a Statistical Inference Approach.

Project description:Antibody humanization is a key step in the preclinical phase of the development of therapeutic antibodies, originally developed and tested in non-human models (most typically, in mouse). The standard technique of Complementarity-Determining Regions (CDR) grafting into human Framework Regions of germline sequences has some important drawbacks, in that the resulting sequences often need further back-mutations to ensure functionality and/or stability. Here we propose a new method to characterize the statistical distribution of the sequences of the variable regions of human antibodies, that takes into account phenotypical correlations between pairs of residues, both within and between chains. We define a "humanness score" of a sequence, comparing its performance in distinguishing human from murine sequences, with that of some alternative scores in the literature. We also compare the score with the experimental immunogenicity of clinically used antibodies. Finally, we use the humanness score as an optimization function and perform a search in the sequence space, starting from different murine sequences and keeping the CDR regions unchanged. Our results show that our humanness score outperforms other methods in sequence classification, and the optimization protocol is able to generate humanized sequences that are recognized as human by standard homology modelling tools.

NucleoFinder: a statistical approach for the detection of nucleosome positions.

Project description:MotivationThe identification of nucleosomes along the chromatin is key to understanding their role in the regulation of gene expression and other DNA-related processes. However, current experimental methods (MNase-ChIP, MNase-Seq) sample nucleosome positions from a cell population and contain biases, making thus the precise identification of individual nucleosomes not straightforward. Recent works have only focused on the first point, where noise reduction approaches have been developed to identify nucleosome positions.ResultsIn this article, we propose a new approach, termed NucleoFinder, that addresses both the positional heterogeneity across cells and experimental biases by seeking nucleosomes consistently positioned in a cell population and showing a significant enrichment relative to a control sample. Despite the absence of validated dataset, we show that our approach (i) detects fewer false positives than two other nucleosome calling methods and (ii) identifies two important features of the nucleosome organization (the nucleosome spacing downstream of active promoters and the enrichment/depletion of GC/AT dinucleotides at the centre of in vitro nucleosomes) with equal or greater ability than the other two methods.

Structure design method of new balanced vibration reduction gear for the three cylinder engine.

Project description:Aiming at the engineering requirements of reducing the volume and improving the vibration characteristics of gears in the three-cylinder engine balanced system, a design and optimization method of gear structure is proposed based on the Design of Experiments (DOE) and proxy models. The paper analyzes the structure improvement process based on the gear design model and technical index requirements. By designing the plane characteristics of the weight-increasing module, the weight-reducing module and the elastic module, the calculation model of balance performance indices such as mass, moment of inertia and unbalance of new balanced vibration reduction gear are constructed. Then, a more efficient design method is proposed based on dynamic simulation and multidisciplinary optimization design platform (Isight). The results show that the new design method of gear structure can effectively reduce the structure improvement cycle. At the same time, the improved structure can reduce the thickness of the weight-increasing module by 6.3 mm and the vibration attenuation by more than 90%.

Detection of Meniscal Tear Effects on Tibial Vibration Using Passive Knee Sound Measurements.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate whether non-invasive knee sound measurements can provide information related to the underlying structural changes in the knee following meniscal tear. These changes are explained using an equivalent vibrational model of the knee-tibia structure.MethodsFirst, we formed an analytical model by modeling the tibia as a cantilever beam with the fixed end being the knee. The knee end was supported by three lumped components with features corresponding with tibial stiffnesses, and meniscal damping effect. Second, we recorded knee sounds from 46 healthy legs and 9 legs with acute meniscal tears (n = 34 subjects). We developed an acoustic event ("click") detection algorithm to find patterns in the recordings, and used the instrumental variable continuous-time transfer function estimation algorithm to model them.ResultsThe knee sound measurements yielded consistently lower fundamental mode decay rate in legs with meniscal tears ( 16 ±13 s - 1) compared to healthy legs ( 182 ±128 s - 1), p < 0.05. When we performed an intra-subject analysis of the injured versus contralateral legs for the 9 subjects with meniscus tears, we observed significantly lower natural frequency and damping ratio (first mode results for healthy: [Formula: see text]injured: [Formula: see text]) for the first three vibration modes (p < 0.05). These results agreed with the theoretical expectations gleaned from the vibrational model.SignificanceThis combined analytical and experimental method improves our understanding of how vibrations can describe the underlying structural changes in the knee following meniscal tear, and supports their use as a tool for future efforts in non-invasively diagnosing meniscal tear injuries.

A robust knock-in approach using a minimal promoter and a minicircle.

Project description:Knock-in reporter (KI) animals are essential tools in biomedical research to study gene expression impacting diverse biological events. While CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing allows for the successful generation of KI animals, several factors should be considered, such as low expression of the target gene, prevention of bacterial DNA integration, and in-frame editing. To circumvent these challenges, we developed a new strategy that utilizes minicircle technology and introduces a minimal promoter. We demonstrated that minicircles serve as an efficient donor DNA in zebrafish, significantly enhancing KI events compared to plasmids containing bacterial backbones. In an attempt to generate a KI reporter for scn8ab, we precisely integrated a fluorescence gene at the start codon. However, the seamlessly integrated reporter was unable to direct expression that recapitulates endogenous scn8ab expression. To overcome this obstacle, we introduced the hsp70 minimal promoter to provide an ectopic transcription initiation site and succeeded in establishing stable KI transgenic reporters for scn8ab. This strategy also created a fgf20b KI reporter line with a high success rate. Furthermore, our data revealed that an unexpectedly edited genome can inappropriately influence the integrated reporter gene expression, highlighting the importance of selecting a proper KI line. Overall, our approach utilizing a minicircle and an ectopic promoter establishes a robust and efficient strategy for KI generation, expanding our capacity to create KI animals.

Statistical detection of EEG synchrony using empirical bayesian inference.

Project description:There is growing interest in understanding how the brain utilizes synchronized oscillatory activity to integrate information across functionally connected regions. Computing phase-locking values (PLV) between EEG signals is a popular method for quantifying such synchronizations and elucidating their role in cognitive tasks. However, high-dimensionality in PLV data incurs a serious multiple testing problem. Standard multiple testing methods in neuroimaging research (e.g., false discovery rate, FDR) suffer severe loss of power, because they fail to exploit complex dependence structure between hypotheses that vary in spectral, temporal and spatial dimension. Previously, we showed that a hierarchical FDR and optimal discovery procedures could be effectively applied for PLV analysis to provide better power than FDR. In this article, we revisit the multiple comparison problem from a new Empirical Bayes perspective and propose the application of the local FDR method (locFDR; Efron, 2001) for PLV synchrony analysis to compute FDR as a posterior probability that an observed statistic belongs to a null hypothesis. We demonstrate the application of Efron's Empirical Bayes approach for PLV synchrony analysis for the first time. We use simulations to validate the specificity and sensitivity of locFDR and a real EEG dataset from a visual search study for experimental validation. We also compare locFDR with hierarchical FDR and optimal discovery procedures in both simulation and experimental analyses. Our simulation results showed that the locFDR can effectively control false positives without compromising on the power of PLV synchrony inference. Our results from the application locFDR on experiment data detected more significant discoveries than our previously proposed methods whereas the standard FDR method failed to detect any significant discoveries.
