AdvanDNN: Deep Neural Network Analysis of Neuroimaging for Identifying Vulnerable Brain Regions in Autism Spectrum Disorder
Exploring the neurological framework of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents a significant challenge due to its diverse manifestations and cognitive impacts. This study introduces an innovative deep learning approach, employing an advanced deep neural network (AdvanDNN) model to identify and analyze brain regions vulnerable to ASD. Utilizing the AAL116 brain atlas for anatomical standardization, our model processes a comprehensive set of neuroimaging data, including structural and functional MRI scans, to discern distinct neural patterns associated with ASD. The AdvanDNN model, with its robust deep learning architecture, was meticulously trained and validated, demonstrating a notable accuracy of 91.17% in distinguishing between ASD-affected individuals and controls. This marks an improvement over the state of the art, contributing a significant advance to the diagnostic processes. Notably, the model identified a pronounced anticorrelation in brain function between anterior and posterior regions, corroborating existing empirical evidence of disrupted connectivity within ASD neurology. The analysis further pinpointed critical regions, such as the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and temporal lobes, that exhibit significant deviations from typical developmental patterns. These findings illustrate the potential of deep learning in enhancing early detection and providing pathways for intervention. The application of the AdvanDNN model offers a promising direction for personalized treatment strategies and underscores the value of precision medicine in addressing neurodevelopmental disorders.

Autism Spectrum Disorder: Automated Detection based on rs-fMRI images using CNN
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) impacts approximately 1 in every 160 children globally and is classified as a neurodevelopmental condition. Image classification in neuroscience has advanced primarily due to convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and their capacity to provide better algorithms, more computing resources, and data. This study used a brain scan dataset to test the feasibility of utilizing CNN to detect ASD. Using functional connectivity patterns, the Autism Brain Imaging Exchange (ABIDE) data repository, which includes recordings of rest-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), the aim of using it was to distinguish between individuals who have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and those who are healthy controls. The proposed method effectively classified the two groups. According to the test findings, the suggested model has the ability to accurately detect ASD with a reliability rate of 92.22% when implemented on the ABIDE dataset using the CC200, CC400, and AAL116 brain atlases. The CNN model is computationally more efficient since it uses fewer parameters than other cutting-edge methods. 2023 IEEE. -

Timely and precise identification of ASD is crucial for effective intervention and assistance. Recent advances in deep learning techniques have shown promise in enhancing the accuracy of ASD detection. Objective: This comprehensive review aims to provide an overview of various deep learning methods employed in detecting ASD, utilizing diverse neuroimaging modalities. We analyze a range of studies that use resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rsfMRI), structural MRI (sMRI), task-based fMRI (tfMRI), and electroencephalography (EEG). This paper aims to assess the effectiveness of these techniques based on criteria such as accuracy, sensitiv-ity, specificity, and computational efficiency. Methods: We systematically review studies investigating ASD detection using deep learning across different neuroimaging modalities. These studies utilize various preprocessing tools, at-lases, feature extraction techniques, and classification algorithms. The performance metrics of interest include accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, F1-score, recall, and area under the curve (AUC). Results: The review covers a wide range of studies, each with its own dataset and methodolo-gy. Notable findings include a study employing rsfMRI data from ABIDE that achieved an accuracy of 80% using LeNet. Another study using rsfMRI data from ABIDE-II achieved an im-pressive accuracy of 95.4% with the ASGCN deep learning model. Studies utilizing different modalities, such as EEG and sMRI, also reported high accuracies ranging from 74% to 95%. Conclusion: Deep learning-based approaches for ASD detection have demonstrated significant potential across multiple neuroimaging modalities. These methods offer a more objective and data-driven approach to diagnosis, potentially reducing the subjectivity associated with clinical evaluations. However, challenges remain, including the need for larger and more diverse da-tasets, model interpretability, and clinical validation.

Deep Learning Approaches for Environmental Monitoring in Smart Cities
It introduces a novel integrated environmental monitoring system capable of doing on-the-go measurements. In metropolitan settings, air pollution is one of the most serious environmental threats to human health. The widespread use of automobiles, emissions from manufacturing processes, and the use of fossil fuels for propulsion and power generation have all contributed to this issue. Air quality predictions in smart cities may now be made using deep learning methods, thanks to the widespread adoption of these tools and their continued rapid growth. Particulate Matter (PM) with a width of less than 2.5 m (PM2.5) is one of the most perilous kinds of air pollution. To anticipate the hourly gauge of PM2.5 focus in Delhi, India, we utilized verifiable information of poisons, meteorological information, and PM2.5 fixation in the adjoining stations to make a spatial-worldly element for our CNN-LSTM-based deep learning arrangement. According to our experiments, our 'hybrid CNN-LSTM multivariate' method outperforms all of the above conventional models and allows for more precise predictions. 2024 IEEE. -

Comparative Performance of LSTM and ARIMA for the Short-Term Prediction of Bitcoin Prices
This research assesses the prediction of Bitcoin prices using the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and long-short-term memory (LSTM) models. We forecast the price of Bitcoin for the following day using the static forecast method, with and without re-estimating the forecast model at each step. We take two different training and test samples into consideration for the cross-validation of forecast findings. In the first training sample, ARIMA outperforms LSTM, but in the second training sample, LSTM exceeds ARIMA. Additionally, in the two test-sample forecast periods, LSTM with model re-estimation at each step surpasses ARIMA. Comparing LSTM to ARIMA, the forecasts were much closer to the actual historical prices. As opposed to ARIMA, which could only track the trend of Bitcoin prices, the LSTM model was able to predict both the direction and the value during the specified time period. This research exhibits LSTM's persistent capacity for fluctuating Bitcoin price prediction despite the sophistication of ARIMA. 2023, University of Wollongong. All rights reserved. -

Green-Synthesized Sm3+-Doped ZnO Nanoparticles for Multifunctional Applications
The present study focuses on the green-mediated synthesis of pristine and Sm3+-doped ZnO nanoparticles using Syzygium cumini fruit extract. The prepared material was characterized by various characterization techniques. Photocatalytic degradation of a fast orange red (FOR) dye under UV light resulted in 88% degradation, with a minimal decrease (87.90%) observed even after five successive runs, indicating the stability and effectiveness of the catalyst. The enhancement in degradation efficiency is attributed to the incorporation of Sm3+ ions into the ZnO lattice. Utilizing the optimized Sm3+ (5 mol%)-doped ZnO nanoparticles, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) were performed on the prepared electrode, demonstrating the excellent CV properties; this enhancement is attributed to the modification of ZnO's redox chemistry and the alteration of charge transfer kinetics at the electrode-electrolyte interface due to the addition of Sm3+ into the ZnO structure. The antibacterial activity was performed against two pathogenic strains, i.e., Escherichia coli and Streptococcus aureus. The obtained results suggest that the prepared material holds great promise for catalytic, energy storage, antibacterial, and other multifunctional applications. 2024 Lavanya R. et al.
