    Complex, distributed, and dynamic sets of clinical biomedical data are collectively referred to as multimodal clinical data. In order to accommodate the volume and heterogeneity of such diverse data types and aid in their interpretation when they are combined with a multi-scale predictive model, machine learning is a useful tool that can be wielded to deconstruct biological complexity and extract relevant outputs. Additionally, genome-scale metabolic models (GSMMs) are one of the main frameworks striving to bridge the gap between genotype and phenotype by incorporating prior biological knowledge into mechanistic models. Consequently, the utilization of GSMMs as a foundation for the integration of multi-omic data originating from different domains is a valuable pursuit towards refining predictions. In this chapter, we show how cancer multi-omic data can be analyzed via multimodal machine learning and metabolic modeling. Firstly, we focus on the merits of adopting an integrative systems biology led approach to biomedical data mining. Following this, we propose how constraint-based metabolic models can provide a stable yet adaptable foundation for the integration of multimodal data with machine learning. Finally, we provide a step-by-step tutorial for the combination of machine learning and GSMMs, which includes: (i) tissue-specific constraint-based modeling; (ii) survival analysis using time-to-event prediction for cancer; and (iii) classification and regression approaches for multimodal machine learning.

    EH-GC: An Efficient and Secure Architecture of Energy Harvesting Green Cloud Infrastructure

    Nowadays, the high power consumption of data centers is the biggest challenge to making cloud computing greener. Many researchers are still seeking effective solutions to reduce or harvest the energy produced at data centers. To address this challenge, we propose a green cloud infrastructure which provides security and efficiency based on energy harvesting (EH-GC). The EH-GC is basically focused on harvesting the heat energy produced by data centers in the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) infrastructure. A pyroelectric material is used to generate the electric current from heat using the Olsen cycle. In order to achieve efficient green cloud computing, the architecture utilizes a genetic algorithm for proper virtual machine allocation, taking into consideration less Service Level Agreement (SLA) violations. The architecture utilizes Multivariate Correlation Analysis (MCA) correlation analysis based on a triangular map area generation to detect Denial of Service (DoS) attacks in the data center layer of the IaaS. Finally, the experimental analysis is explained based on the energy parameter, which proves that our model is efficient and secure, and that it efficiently reuses the energy emitted from the data center

    The production cross section of electrons from semileptonic decays of beauty hadrons was measured at mid-rapidity (|y| < 0.8) in the transverse momentum range 1 < pt < 8 Gev/c with the ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC in pp collisions at a center of mass energy sqrt{s} = 7 TeV using an integrated luminosity of 2.2 nb^{-1}. Electrons from beauty hadron decays were selected based on the displacement of the decay vertex from the collision vertex. A perturbative QCD calculation agrees with the measurement within uncertainties. The data were extrapolated to the full phase space to determine the total cross section for the production of beauty quark-antiquark pairs
