Abstract: A method for selecting a final model for detecting cells of interest in image datasets includes dividing a curated image dataset into a training set, a validation set, and a testing set where each image in the curated image dataset has been labeled as positive or negative for a cell of interest. The method trains each model of an ensemble of neural networks using the training and validation sets. Next, each model of the ensemble is tested using the testing set and the predictions of the ensemble are combined. The combined prediction is compared to the label and the method determines whether the combined prediction satisfies a pre-determined level of detection (LOD). If so, the method outputs the ensemble as a final ensemble. If not, the method modifies a hyperparameter of at least one of the models of the ensemble until the combined prediction satisfies the pre-determined LOD.

Abstract: A tangible, non-transitory machine-readable medium includes machine readable instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to receive an inquiry regarding digital content. The inquiry is indicative of a request for the digital content or a request for a determination to be made regarding the digital content. The instructions, when executed, also cause the processing circuitry to process the inquiry by analyzing aggregated result data generated using a series of neural network layers based on the digital content and metadata associated with the digital content. Furthermore, the instructions, when executed, cause the processing circuitry to generate response data to the inquiry using a neural network based on analyzing the aggregated result data.

Abstract: Apparatus for treating water has a container having a clarification zone, a water entry arrangement for flowing water into the clarification zone, and water exit units mounted to the container for at least partial immersion in the water in the clarification zone. Each water exit unit has a transfer channel for transferring a flow of clarified water from a layer of the water to a predetermined depth in the clarification zone and to direct the received clarified water to a water exit arrangement. A height adjustment mechanism is used for differentially adjusting the heights of the water exit units and their transfer channels relative to the container so as to compensate for any angular tilt of the container owing to the container being deployed on sloping ground.

Abstract: A graph database for outbreak tracking and management is disclosed. In an example embodiment, an outbreak management system includes a memory device storing instructions that define a graph database for disease outbreak tracking. The instructions specify for a given host that a host node is created and an episode node is connected to the host node via a ‘case’ link. The episode node is associated with episode parameters that are related to a disease classification of the host. In addition, the instructions specify that an outbreak node is connected to the episode node via a ‘part of’ link to indicate that the host has become part of an outbreak of the disease. The outbreak node is connected to a definition node via a ‘defined as’ link. The definition node specifies disease parameters of the disease for outbreak tracking.

Abstract: A method is provided for coating a surface of a material with a film of porous coordination polymer. A first substrate having a first surface to be coated is positioned in a processing chamber such that the first surface is placed in an opposing relationship to a second surface. The second surface may be provided by a wall of the processing chamber, or in some cases the second surface may be provided by a second substrate to be coated. The first substrate is held such that a gap exists between the first and second surfaces, and the gap is filled with at least one reaction mixture comprising reagents sufficient to form the crystalline film on at least the first surface. A thin gap (e.g., less than 2 mm) between the first and second surfaces is effective for producing a high quality film having a thickness less than 100 ?m. Confining the volume of the reaction mixture to a thin layer adjacent the substrate surface significantly reduces problems with sedimentation and concentration control.
