The human race into space will require kidneys: 10/6/23: Revisit a paper for guests

Agenda and Minutes

One of the many observatories at Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, AZ, Summer 2022

Another observatory at Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff, AZ, Summer 2022. This one was in disrepair and not open to the public.

1. Updates/announcements/status reports

2. Reading and discussion

Readings: kidneys or space (or both), depending on interest and attendance: we did the space category, evaluating some new potential readings.

“Future Satellite lifetime prediction from the historical trend in satellite half-lives,” Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (2022), 20(3):40-45. We will read more of this paper next time.

We are reading: The Ensembles of Machine Learning Methods for Survival Predicting after Kidney Transplantation, Tolstyak et al., 2021, https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/11/21/10380. We previously got up to "The main objectives of this study are to use the Kapplan-Meier method and machine learning" and can start with that next time.

Space readings. Here are some possible readings in order from highest to lowest score.

9/29/23: We checked https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/confusion-matrix-accuracy-precision-recall-f1-score-measures-silwal/ and evaluated it at 4 5/6.
9/29/23: We checked https://towardsdatascience.com/understanding-confusion-matrix-a9ad42dcfd62 and evaluated it at 4.5.
9/29/23: We checked https://towardsdatascience.com/understanding-auc-roc-curve-68b2303cc9c5, evaluating it at 4 1/3.
9/8/23: We could do part of: "Understanding Statistics and Experimental Design," https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-03499-3. Chapter "Meta-Analysis" was evaluated at 4.
9/8/23: We once started: https://www.newthingsunderthesun.com/pub/4xnyepnn/release/9. We read up to "In their paper, firms use these technologies to produce a fixed amount of output every period." Working through more was evaluated at 4.
9/8/23: We could do this from the "talks" section of planet4589: https://planet4589.org/talks. The ones we looked at were all voted at 3 1/3.
Attendees could suggest possible readings/viewings between now and next time, or we could take time now for each person to search for things and report back.

Deep learning-based classification of kidney transplant pathology: a retrospective, multicentre, proof-of-concept study, Jesper Kers*, Roman D Bülow*, Barbara M Klinkhammer, Gerben E Breimer, Francesco Fontana, Adeyemi Adefidipe Abiola, Rianne Hofstraat, Garry L Corthals, Hessel Peters-Sengers, Sonja Djudjaj, Saskia von Stillfried, David L Hölscher, Tobias T Pieters, Arjan D van Zuilen, Frederike J Bemelman, Azam S Nurmohamed, Maarten Naesens, Joris J T H Roelofs, Sandrine Florquin, Jürgen Floege, Tri Q Nguyen, Jakob N Kather†, Peter Boor†, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34794930/. 9/1/23 vote was 3 5/6.
Artificial intelligence and kidney transplantation, Nurhan Seyahi, Seyda Gul Ozcan, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8290997. 9/15/23 vote was 4.0.

What is the source?
What is the most significant advance in the human knowledge presented in the paper?
Why is that advance important?
What important questions arise from the paper for future research?
What important questions would it be nice if the paper answered, but does not answer?
What does the paper present that is novel (no one else has provided that before)?
What is the relevance of the paper to our satellite research goals?
Questions from the group?

3. Completed readings include numerous prior items as well as these:

Covadonga Díez-Sanmartín and Antonio Sarasa Cabezuelo, Application of Artificial Intelligence Techniques to Predict Survival in Kidney Transplantation: A Review, https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/9/2/572. (Except appendices)

7/21/2023: We finished https://planet4589.org/space/gcat/web/intro/type.html.
5/12/2023: We finished https://planet4589.org/space/astro/web/astrolist.html and looked at https://planet4589.org/space/astro/lists/astro.html for examples. It appears that the date of the first flight for each astronaut is NOT given, even though the rows are in chronological order!
3/17/23: We finished https://planet4589.org/space/astro/web/astrolist.html.
We finished section 6 of MR paper (C:\Users\jdberleant\Dropbox\research\SpaceTravelMetric-b6-5-16\PapersAndPresentations\byOthers\MatthewRoughanDraft.pdf). This completes the parts that we planned to read.
Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9o66fH_sgo (about MOXIE device which converts CO2 to oxygen). We then read a bit more about MOXIE on wikipedia.
Https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/07/we-need-new-science-progress/594946 on "progress studies." Completed 9/30/22.
Ryan et al., "A Forgotten Moment in Physiology: the Lovelace Woman in Space Program (1960-1962)", 2009. Completed 7/22/22.
