Innovative machine learning-based prediction of early airway hyperresponsiveness using baseline pulmonary function parameters by Hua Yang, Xingru Zhao, Zhuochang Chen, Lihong Yang, Guihua Zhao, Chenxiao Xu, Jinyi Xu

“…BackgroundThe Bronchial Provocation Test (BPT) is the gold standard for diagnosing airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in suspected asthma patients but is time-consuming and resource-intensive. This study explores the potential of baseline pulmonary function parameters, particularly small airway indices, in predicting AHR and develops a machine learning-based model to improve screening efficiency and reduce unnecessary BPT referrals.MethodsThis retrospective study analyzed baseline pulmonary function data and BPT results from Henan Provincial People’s Hospital (May to September 2024). …”

Bearing-Only Multi-Target Localization Incorporating Waveguide Characteristics for Low Detection Rate Scenarios in Shallow Water by Xiaohan Mei, Bo Zhang, Duo Zhai, Zhaohui Peng

“…A <i>β</i>-S-dimensional assignment (<i>β</i>-SDA) method incorporating waveguide characteristics is proposed to address the BOMTL problem in shallow water with low detection rates. The estimated distance for the warping transformation is derived from the intersection points of the bearing lines, then the autocorrelation function of the broadband beamforming output is transformed using a warping operator to obtain the corresponding characteristic spectrum. …”
