Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has been used in a variety of biological applications due to its high sensitivity and specificity. Here, we report SERS-based biosensing approach for quantitative detection biomolecules. A SERS substrate bearing gold-decorated silicon nanopillars is functionalized with aptamers sensitive specific target molecules. In this study, TAMRA-labeled vasopressin molecules the picomolar regime (1 pM 1 nM) are specifically captured by on nanostructured...
In this work we have performed a detailed study of the influence various parameters on spray coating polymer films. Our aim is to produce films uniform thickness (500 nm 1 μm) and low roughness compared film thickness. The coatings are characterized with respect thickness, (profilometer), morphology (optical microscopy). Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) used do full factorial design experiments selected process such as temperature, distance between nozzle substrate, speed nozzle. A mathematical...
Reusability of sensors is relevant when aiming to decrease variation between measurements, as well cost and time analysis. We present an electrochemically assisted surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) platform with the capability reverse analyte-surface interaction, without damaging SERS substrate, allowing for efficient sensor reuse.

Lung infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Due to its ready adaptation dehydrated mucosa CF airways, PA tend become chronic, eventually killing patient. Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) at ppb level has been reported be a biomarker. For early detection children not yet chronically lung infected non-invasive Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS)-based breath nanosensor being developed. The triple bond...
Data heterogeneity across clients is a key challenge in federated learning. Prior works address this by either aligning client and server models or using control variates to correct model drift. Although these methods achieve fast convergence convex simple non-convex problems, the performance over-parameterized such as deep neural networks lacking. In paper, we first revisit widely used FedAvg algorithm network understand how data influences gradient updates layers. We observe that while...
Raman spectroscopy is an important, low-cost, non-intrusive technique often used for chemical identification. Typical approaches identify a spectrum by comparing it with reference database using supervised machine learning, which usually requires careful preprocessing and multiple spectra available per analyte. We propose new learning identification contrastive representation learning. Our approach no works as little single have significantly improved or are on par the existing...
The acoustic variability of noisy and reverberant speech mixtures is influenced by multiple factors, such as the spectro-temporal characteristics target speaker interfering noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) room characteristics. This large poses a major challenge for learning-based enhancement systems, since mismatch between training testing conditions can substantially reduce performance system. Generalization to unseen typically assessed system with new speech, noise or binaural impulse...
Colorimetric sensing technology for the detection of explosives, drugs, and their precursor chemicals is an important effective approach. In this work, we use various machine learning models to detect these substances from colorimetric experiments conducted in controlled environments.

This expected enrich functionalities PMSs, ultimately lead improved maintenance repair...
The performance of neural network-based speech enhancement systems is primarily influenced by the model architecture, whereas training times and computational resource utilization are affected parameters such as batch size. Since noisy reverberant mixtures can have different duration, a batching strategy required to handle variable size inputs during training, in particular for state-of-the-art end-to-end systems. Such strategies usually strive compromise between zero-padding data...
