Research on Semiconductor Chip Grade Classification and Real-Time Evaluation Method Based on Hybrid Artificial Intelligence Technology
Semiconductor chips are widely used in various industries, making the classification of their quality grades and real-time evaluation crucial for ensuring optimal performance and reliability. This paper presents a semiconductor chip grade classification and real-time evaluation method based on hybrid artificial intelligence techniques, effectively improving the accuracy and efficiency of the classification process. Through extensive experiments on real-world data sets, the method demonstrated superior performance in terms of classification accuracy, real-time evaluation, and generalization capabilities compared to traditional methods
Oxytocin Receptor Genetic Variation Promotes Human Trust Behavior
Given that human trust behavior is heritable and intranasal administration of oxytocin enhances trust, the oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene is an excellent candidate to investigate genetic contributions to individual variations in trust behavior. Although a single-nucleotide polymorphism involving an adenine (A)/guanine (G) transition (rs53576) has been associated with socio-emotional phenotypes, its link to trust behavior is unclear. We combined genotyping of healthy male students (n = 108) with the administration of a trust game experiment. Our results show that a common occurring genetic variation (rs53576) in the OXTR gene is reliably associated with trust behavior rather than a general increase in trustworthy or risk behaviors. Individuals homozygous for the G allele (GG) showed higher trust behavior than individuals with A allele carriers (AA/AG). Although the molecular functionality of this polymorphism is still unknown, future research should clarify how the OXTR gene interacts with other genes and the environment in promoting socio-emotional behaviors
Establishment of Real Time Allele Specific Locked Nucleic Acid Quantitative PCR for Detection of HBV YIDD (ATT) Mutation and Evaluation of Its Application
<div><p>Background</p><p>Long-term use of nucleos(t)ide analogues can increase risk of HBV drug-resistance mutations. The rtM204I (ATT coding for isoleucine) is one of the most important resistance mutation sites. Establishing a simple, rapid, reliable and highly sensitive assay to detect the resistant mutants as early as possible is of great clinical significance.</p><p>Methods</p><p>Recombinant plasmids for HBV YMDD (tyrosine-methionine-aspartate-aspartate) and YIDD (tyrosine-isoleucine-aspartate-aspartate) were constructed by TA cloning. Real time allele specific locked nucleic acid quantitative PCR (RT-AS-LNA-qPCR) with SYBR Green I was established by LNA-modified primers and evaluated with standard recombinant plasmids, clinical templates (the clinical wild type and mutant HBV DNA mixture) and 102 serum samples from nucleos(t)ide analogues-experienced patients. The serum samples from a chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patient firstly received LMV mono therapy and then switched to LMV + ADV combined therapy were also dynamically analyzed for 10 times.</p><p>Results</p><p>The linear range of the assay was between 1×10<sup>9</sup> copies/μl and 1×10<sup>2</sup> copies/μl. The low detection limit was 1×10<sup>1</sup> copies/μl. Sensitivity of the assay were 10<sup>−6</sup>, 10<sup>−4</sup> and 10<sup>−2</sup> in the wild-type background of 1×10<sup>9</sup> copies/μl, 1×10<sup>7</sup> copies/μl and 1×10<sup>5</sup> copies/μl, respectively. The sensitivity of the assay in detection of clinical samples was 0.03%. The complete coincidence rate between RT-AS-LNA-qPCR and direct sequencing was 91.2% (93/102), partial coincidence rate was 8.8% (9/102), and no complete discordance was observed. The two assays showed a high concordance (<i>Kappa</i> = 0.676, <i>P</i> = 0.000). Minor variants can be detected 18 weeks earlier than the rebound of HBV DNA load and alanine aminotransferase level.</p><p>Conclusions</p><p>A rapid, cost-effective, high sensitive, specific and reliable method of RT-AS-LNA-qPCR with SYBR Green I for early and absolute quantification of HBV YIDD (ATT coding for isoleucine) variants was established, which can provide valuable information for clinical antiretroviral regimens.</p></div
