Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines01:24

Sequence Networks of Rotating Machines

491
A Y-connected synchronous generator, grounded through a neutral impedance, is designed to produce balanced internal phase voltages with only positive-sequence components. The generator's sequence networks include a source voltage that is exclusively in the positive-sequence network. The sequence components of line-to-ground voltages at the generator terminals illustrate this configuration.
Zero-sequence current induces a voltage drop across the generator's neutral impedance and other...

Next-generation Sequencing

98.5K
The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.

Classification of Illness

8.7K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

5.3K
When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness,...

Concepts of Health and Illness

17.8K
Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Genomics
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Current microbial risk assessment (MRA) models often overlook strain-specific differences in survivability and virulence.
  • Next-generation sequencing (NGS) offers a powerful, yet largely untapped, resource for enhancing MRA specificity and hazard definition.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential of machine learning (ML) algorithms in predicting population-level health burdens using complex NGS data.
  • To utilize Listeria monocytogenes as a case study to identify virulence factors associated with illness frequency.

Main Methods:

  • Genome assemblies of 38 clinical and 207 food-origin Listeria monocytogenes strains were analyzed.
  • Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) was employed to identify 136 virulence and stress resistance genes.
  • Supervised machine learning, specifically five ensemble algorithms including support vector machine with linear kernel, was used to predict illness frequency.

Main Results:

  • A support vector machine model achieved 89% accuracy in predicting illness frequency.
  • Key virulence genes (e.g., FAM002725, InlF, IisY) were identified as important predictors of higher illness frequency.
  • High-risk predictor genes were most prevalent in strains from ready-to-eat, dairy, and composite foods; InlF was uniquely truncated in sequence type 121 strains.

Conclusions:

  • Machine learning applied to NGS data can significantly improve microbial risk assessment by identifying specific virulence determinants.
  • The findings suggest a potential paradigm shift in MRA approaches, moving towards more precise, data-driven hazard identification.
  • Virulence gene profiling via NGS and ML can inform targeted food safety interventions.
