Article Abstract
This article reports a numerical study pertaining to simultaneous estimation of size, radial location and angular location of a malignant tumor in a 3-D human breast. The breast skin surface temperature profile is specific to a tumor of specific size and location. The temperature profiles are always the Gaussian one, though their peak magnitudes and areas differ according to the size and location of the tumor. The temperature profiles are obtained by solving the Pennes bioheat equation using the finite element method based solver COMSOL 4.3a. With temperature profiles known, simultaneous estimation of size, radial location and angular location of the tumor is done using the curve fitting method. Effect of measurement errors is also included in the study. Estimations are accurate, and since in the inverse analysis, the curve fitting method does not require solution of the governing bioheat equation, the estimation is very fast.

Biological Age Estimation From the Age Gap Using Deep Learning Integrating Morbidity and Mortality: Model Development and Validation Study.

Background: Biological age (BA) is increasingly recognized as a valuable alternative to chronological age (CA) for assessing an individual's health and aging status. However, existing models are based on limited clinical parameters and have not thoroughly integrated morbidity and mortality data.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and validate a novel transformer-based model, referred to as the BA - CA gap model, for BA estimation that incorporates morbidity and mortality information to improve predictive accuracy and enhance clinical use in the early identification of the risk of age-related diseases.
Distribution and Risk Factors of Scrub Typhus in South Korea, From 2013 to 2019: Bayesian Spatiotemporal Analysis.

Background: Scrub typhus (ST), also known as tsutsugamushi disease, is a common febrile vector-borne illness in South Korea, transmitted by trombiculid mites infected with Orientia tsutsugamushi, with rodents serving as the main hosts. Although vector-borne diseases like ST require both a One Health approach and a spatiotemporal perspective to fully understand their complex dynamics, previous studies have often lacked integrated analyses that simultaneously address disease dynamics, vectors, and environmental shifts.
Objective: We aimed to explore spatiotemporal trends, high-risk areas, and risk factors of ST by simultaneously incorporating host and environmental information.
Domains shaping experiences around food with implications for food insecurity among students at a public university in the United States.

Despite alarming rates of students' food insecurity in the US (41%), estimates may not be fully capturing experiences in university settings. Understanding students' food insecurity is a knowledge gap flagged amidst outstanding progress on food security measurement in household settings. This study investigated the domains shaping the experiences around food with implications for food insecurity among students.

Department of Bioinformatics and Biostatistics, School of Life Sciences and Biotechnology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, 200240, China.
Motivation: RNA velocity has become a powerful tool for uncovering transcriptional dynamics in snapshot single-cell data. However, current RNA velocity approaches often assume constant transcriptional rates and treat genes independently with gene-specific times, which may introduce biases and deviate from biological realities. Here, we present InterVelo, a novel deep learning framework that simultaneously learns cellular pseudotime and RNA velocity.

A two-axis thrust stand is developed and validated experimentally, enabling direct and simultaneous measurements of two components of the thrust vector of an electric thruster. It is made of two piled-up single-axis stages, each having a hanging deformable parallelogram geometry. A mass deposition calibration method is used to calibrate the thrust stand, including crosstalk between axes.
