    Abstract The monitoring of data generated by a large number of devices in Internet of Things (IoT) systems is an important and complex issue. Several studies have explored the use of generic rule engine, primarily based on the RETE algorithm, for monitoring the flow of device data. In order to solve the performance problem of the RETE algorithm in IoT scenarios, some studies have also proposed improved RETE algorithms. However, implementing modifications to the general rule engine remains challenges in practical applications. The Thingsboard open-source platform introduces an IoT-specific rule engine that does not rely on the RETE algorithm. Its interactive mode attracted attention from developers and researchers. However, the close integration between its rule module and the platform, as well as the difficulty in formulating rules for multiple devices, limits its flexibility. This paper presents an adaptable and user-friendly rule engine framework for monitoring and control IoT device data flows. The framework is easily extensible and allows for the formulation of rules contain multiple devices. We designed a Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for rule description. A prototype system of this framework was implemented to verify the validity of theoretical method. The framework has potential to be adaptable to a wide range of IoT scenarios and is especially effective in where real-time control demands are not as strict.

    Abstract Researchers have always concluded that results that do not support the hypothesis as unimportant, unworthy, or simply not good enough for publication. However, negative findings are essential for the progress of science and its self-correcting nature. We also believe in the importance and indispensability of negative results. Therefore, in this review, we discussed the factors contributing to the publication bias of negative results and the problems to assess the factuality and validity of negative results. Moreover, we emphasized the importance of reporting negative results in cardiovascular research, including treatments, and suggest that the negative results could clarify previously controversial topics in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and prompt the translation of research on precision cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment.

    Abstract Clustering and visualization are essential parts of single-cell gene expression data analysis. The Euclidean distance used in most distance-based methods is not optimal. The batch effect, i.e., the variability among samples gathered from different times, tissues, and patients, introduces large between-group distance and obscures the true identities of cells. To solve this problem, we introduce Label-Aware Distance (LAD), a metric using temporal/spatial locality of the batch effect to control for such factors. We validate LAD on simulated data as well as apply it to a mouse retina development dataset and a lung dataset. We also found the utility of our approach in understanding the progression of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). LAD provides better cell embedding than state-of-the-art batch correction methods on longitudinal datasets. It can be used in distance-based clustering and visualization methods to combine the power of multiple samples to help make biological findings.

    Abstract Genetic diseases are mostly implicated with genetic variants, including missense, synonymous, non-sense, and copy number variants. These different kinds of variants are indicated to affect phenotypes in various ways from previous studies. It remains essential but challenging to understand the functional consequences of these genetic variants, especially the noncoding ones, due to the lack of corresponding annotations. While many computational methods have been proposed to identify the risk variants. Most of them have only curated DNA-level and protein-level annotations to predict the pathogenicity of the variants, and others have been restricted to missense variants exclusively. In this study, we have curated DNA-, RNA-, and protein-level features to discriminate disease-causing variants in both coding and noncoding regions, where the features of protein sequences and protein structures have been shown essential for analyzing missense variants in coding regions while the features related to RNA-splicing and RBP binding are significant for variants in noncoding regions and synonymous variants in coding regions. Through the integration of these features, we have formulated the Multi-level feature Genomic Variants Predictor (ML-GVP) using the gradient boosting tree. The method has been trained on more than 400,000 variants in the Sherloc-training set from the 6th critical assessment of genome interpretation with superior performance. The method is one of the two best-performing predictors on the blind test in the Sherloc assessment, and is further confirmed by another independent test dataset of de novo variants.

    Abstract Advances in single-cell technology have enabled molecular dissection of heterogeneous biospecimens at unprecedented scales and resolutions. Cluster-centric approaches are widely applied in analyzing single-cell data, however they have limited power in dissecting and interpreting highly heterogenous, dynamically evolving data. Here, we present GSDensity, a graph-modeling approach that allows users to obtain pathway-centric interpretation and dissection of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics (ST) data without performing clustering. Using pathway gene sets, we show that GSDensity can accurately detect biologically distinct cells and reveal novel cell-pathway associations ignored by existing methods. Moreover, GSDensity, combined with trajectory analysis can identify curated pathways that are active at various stages of mouse brain development. Finally, GSDensity can identify spatially relevant pathways in mouse brains and human tumors including those following high-order organizational patterns in the ST data. Particularly, we create a pan-cancer ST map revealing spatially relevant and recurrently active pathways across six different tumor types.

    Abstract Clustering and visualization are essential parts of single-cell gene expression data analysis. The Euclidean distance used in most distance-based methods is not optimal. The batch effect, i.e., the variability among samples gathered from different times, tissues, and patients, introduces large between-group distance and obscures the true identities of cells. To solve this problem, we introduce Batch-Corrected Distance (BCD), a metric using temporal/spatial locality of the batch effect to control for such factors. We validate BCD on simulated data as well as applied it to a mouse retina development dataset and a lung dataset. We also found the utility of our approach in understanding the progression of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). BCD achieves more accurate clusters and better visualizations than state-of-the-art batch correction methods on longitudinal datasets. BCD can be directly integrated with most clustering and visualization methods to enable more scientific findings.
