Crystal nucleation in metallic alloys using x-ray radiography and machine learning.

ABSTRACT: The crystallization of solidifying Al-Cu alloys over a wide range of conditions was studied in situ by synchrotron x-ray radiography, and the data were analyzed using a computer vision algorithm trained using machine learning. The effect of cooling rate and solute concentration on nucleation undercooling, crystal formation rate, and crystal growth rate was measured automatically for thousands of separate crystals, which was impossible to achieve manually. Nucleation undercooling distributions confirmed the efficiency of extrinsic grain refiners and gave support to the widely assumed free growth model of heterogeneous nucleation. We show that crystallization occurred in temporal and spatial bursts associated with a solute-suppressed nucleation zone.

Machine learning for detecting moyamoya disease in plain skull radiography using a convolutional neural network.

Project description:BackgroundRecently, innovative attempts have been made to identify moyamoya disease (MMD) by focusing on the morphological differences in the head of MMD patients. Following the recent revolution in the development of deep learning (DL) algorithms, we designed this study to determine whether DL can distinguish MMD in plain skull radiograph images.MethodsThree hundred forty-five skull images were collected as an MMD-labeled dataset from patients aged 18 to 50 years with definite MMD. As a control-labeled data set, 408 skull images of trauma patients were selected by age and sex matching. Skull images were partitioned into training and test datasets at a 7:3 ratio using permutation. A total of six convolution layers were designed and trained. The accuracy and area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve were evaluated as classifier performance. To identify areas of attention, gradient-weighted class activation mapping was applied. External validation was performed with a new dataset from another hospital.FindingsFor the institutional test set, the classifier predicted the true label with 84·1% accuracy. Sensitivity and specificity were both 0·84. AUROC was 0·91. MMD was predicted by attention to the lower face in most cases. Overall accuracy for external validation data set was 75·9%.InterpretationDL can distinguish MMD cases within specific ages from controls in plain skull radiograph images with considerable accuracy and AUROC. The viscerocranium may play a role in MMD-related skull features. FUND: This work was supported by grant no. 18-2018-029 from the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital Research Fund.

Phase nucleation through confined spinodal fluctuations at crystal defects evidenced in Fe-Mn alloys.

Project description:Analysis and design of materials and fluids requires understanding of the fundamental relationships between structure, composition, and properties. Dislocations and grain boundaries influence microstructure evolution through the enhancement of diffusion and by facilitating heterogeneous nucleation, where atoms must overcome a potential barrier to enable the early stage of formation of a phase. Adsorption and spinodal decomposition are known precursor states to nucleation and phase transition; however, nucleation remains the less well-understood step in the complete thermodynamic sequence that shapes a microstructure. Here, we report near-atomic-scale observations of a phase transition mechanism that consists in solute adsorption to crystalline defects followed by linear and planar spinodal fluctuations in an Fe-Mn model alloy. These fluctuations provide a pathway for austenite nucleation due to the higher driving force for phase transition in the solute-rich regions. Our observations are supported by thermodynamic calculations, which predict the possibility of spinodal decomposition due to magnetic ordering.

Digitally deconstructing leaves in 3D using X-ray microcomputed tomography and machine learning.

Project description:Premise:X-ray microcomputed tomography (microCT) can be used to measure 3D leaf internal anatomy, providing a holistic view of tissue organization. Previously, the substantial time needed for segmenting multiple tissues limited this technique to small data sets, restricting its utility for phenotyping experiments and limiting our confidence in the inferences of these studies due to low replication numbers. Methods and Results:We present a Python codebase for random forest machine learning segmentation and 3D leaf anatomical trait quantification that dramatically reduces the time required to process single-leaf microCT scans into detailed segmentations. By training the model on each scan using six hand-segmented image slices out of >1500 in the full leaf scan, it achieves >90% accuracy in background and tissue segmentation. Conclusions:Overall, this 3D segmentation and quantification pipeline can reduce one of the major barriers to using microCT imaging in high-throughput plant phenotyping.

Nucleation of shear bands in amorphous alloys.

Project description:The initiation and propagation of shear bands is an important mode of localized inhomogeneous deformation that occurs in a wide range of materials. In metallic glasses, shear band development is considered to center on a structural heterogeneity, a shear transformation zone that evolves into a rapidly propagating shear band under a shear stress above a threshold. Deformation by shear bands is a nucleation-controlled process, but the initiation process is unclear. Here we use nanoindentation to probe shear band nucleation during loading by measuring the first pop-in event in the load-depth curve which is demonstrated to be associated with shear band formation. We analyze a large number of independent measurements on four different bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) alloys and reveal the operation of a bimodal distribution of the first pop-in loads that are associated with different shear band nucleation sites that operate at different stress levels below the glass transition temperature, Tg. The nucleation kinetics, the nucleation barriers, and the density for each site type have been determined. The discovery of multiple shear band nucleation sites challenges the current view of nucleation at a single type of site and offers opportunities for controlling the ductility of BMG alloys.

Quantifying Biopolymer Sequence Recognition using Biophysically Informed Machine Learning

Project description:Quantifying sequence-specific protein-ligand interactions is critical for understanding and exploiting numerous cellular processes, including gene expression regulation and signal transduction. Given their importance, next-generation sequencing (NGS) based assays that characterize such recognition with high-throughput are increasingly being used to profile a range of protein classes and interactions. However, these methods do not measure the biophysical parameters that have long been used to uncover the quantitative rules underlying sequence recognition. We developed a highly flexible machine learning framework, called ProBound, to quantify sequence recognition in terms of biophysical parameters based on NGS data. ProBound quantifies transcription factor (TF) behavior with models that accurately predict binding affinity over a range exceeding that of previous resources, captures the impact of DNA modifications and conformational flexibility of multi-TF complexes, and infers specificity directly from \textit{in vivo} data such as ChIP-seq without peak calling. When coupled with a new assay called Kd-seq, it quantifies the absolute affinity of protein-ligand interactions. Its applicability extends beyond thermodynamic equilibrium binding, to the kinetics of kinase-substrate interactions. Altogether, ProBound provides a versatile algorithmic framework for understanding sequence recognition in a wide variety of biological contexts.

Machine learning assisted prediction of the Young's modulus of compositionally complex alloys.

Project description:We identify compositionally complex alloys (CCAs) that offer exceptional mechanical properties for elevated temperature applications by employing machine learning (ML) in conjunction with rapid synthesis and testing of alloys for validation to accelerate alloy design. The advantages of this approach are scalability, rapidity, and reasonably accurate predictions. ML tools were implemented to predict Young's modulus of refractory-based CCAs by employing different ML models. Our results, in conjunction with experimental validation, suggest that average valence electron concentration, the difference in atomic radius, a geometrical parameter λ and melting temperature of the alloys are the key features that determine the Young's modulus of CCAs and refractory-based CCAs. The Gradient Boosting model provided the best predictive capabilities (mean absolute error of 6.15 GPa) among the models studied. Our approach integrates high-quality validation data from experiments, literature data for training machine-learning models, and feature selection based on physical insights. It opens a new avenue to optimize the desired materials property for different engineering applications.

Crystal Nucleation Using Surface-Energy-Modified Glass Substrates.

Project description:Systematic surface energy modifications to glass substrates can induce nucleation and improve crystallization outcomes for small molecule active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and proteins. A comparatively broad probe for function is presented in which various APIs, proteins, organic solvents, aqueous media, surface energy motifs, crystallization methods, form factors, and flat and convex surface energy modifications were examined. Replicate studies (n ? 6) have demonstrated an average reduction in crystallization onset times of 52(4)% (alternatively 52 ± 4%) for acetylsalicylic acid from 91% isopropyl alcohol using two very different techniques: bulk cooling to 0 °C using flat surface energy modifications or microdomain cooling to 4 °C from the interior of a glass capillary having convex surface energy modifications that were immersed in the solution. For thaumatin and bovine pancreatic trypsin, a 32(2)% reduction in crystallization onset times was demonstrated in vapor diffusion experiments (n ? 15). Nucleation site arrays have been engineered onto form factors frequently used in crystallization screening, including microscope slides, vials, and 96- and 384-well high-throughput screening plates. Nucleation using surface energy modifications on the vessels that contain the solutes to be crystallized adds a layer of useful variables to crystallization studies without requiring significant changes to workflows or instrumentation.

Machine learning-based prediction of phases in high-entropy alloys: A data article.

Project description:A systematic framework for choosing the most determinant combination of predictor features and solving the multiclass phase classification problem associated with high-entropy alloy (HEA) was recently proposed [1]. The data associated with that research paper, titled "Machine learning-based prediction of phases in high-entropy alloys", is presented in this data article. This dataset is a systematic documentation and comprehensive survey of experimentally reported HEA microstructures. It contains microstructural phase experimental observations and metallurgy-specific features as introduced and reported in peer-reviewed research articles. The dataset is provided with this article as a supplementary file. Since the dataset was collected from experimental peer-reviewed articles, these data can provide insights into the microstructural characteristics of HEAs, can be used to improve the optimization HEA phases, and have an important role in machine learning, material informatics, as well as in other fields.
