Realizing 0.7 dB/m gain in O + E band by promoting BACs-P formation in bismuth-doped phosphosilicate fiber with double-pass configuration.

The long fiber length required for the amplification of bismuth-doped fiber (BDF) has hindered its practical application. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a feasible method to improve the active absorption of bismuth active centers (BACs) by optimizing the drawing conditions, achieving a high gain with a short fiber length. The bismuth-doped phosphosilicate fiber (BPSF) preform was fabricated by the modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) process and drawn into fiber under nine different conditions. The results indicate that the active absorption of BACs increases as the drawing temperature increases and the drawing speed decreases within these drawing parameters. Meanwhile, the corresponding gain per unit length is improved. Furthermore, a maximum gain of 31.6 dB at 1350 nm with the >20 dB gain wavelength range of 1311-1401 nm was achieved in a double-pass double-pump configuration, using only 45 m BPSF. Meanwhile, the -3 dB bandwidth was 1328-1370 nm. The gain per unit length is 0.7 dB/m, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the highest gain per unit length reported for the BPSF.

The Influence of Temperature in the Wire Drawing Process on the Wear of Drawing Dies.

This paper presents a wear analysis of tungsten carbide drawing dies in the process of steel wire drawing. The finite element method (FEM) analysis showed a significant correlation between drawing die geometry, single reduction size and drawing speed on the rate of drawing die wear. It has been shown that in steel wire drawing at higher drawing speeds, intense heating of the drawing die occurs due to friction at the wire/drawing die interface, leading to premature wear. Tribological tests on the material for the drawing die cores (94%WC+6%Co) confirmed the gradual abrasion of the steel and carbide sample surfaces with the "products" of abrasion sticking to their surfaces. The increase in temperature increases the coefficient of friction, translating into accelerated wear of the drawing dies.

Change in Surface Roughness on the Inner and Outer Surfaces of the Microtube during Hollow Sinking.

Hollow sinking experiments and tensile tests were conducted to clarify the evolution of surface roughness during hollow sinking. Stainless steel tubes (outer diameter: 1.5 mm; wall thickness: 0.045 mm) featuring a single grain spanning the wall thickness achieved via annealing as the starting material. The tube was drawn without an internal tool using a draw bench by controlling the tube drawing speed ratio of the die entrance and exit sides. The surface roughnesses of the inner and outer surfaces at the die entrance and exit sides of the drawn tube were compared with the surface roughnesses of the inner and outer surfaces under the uniaxial tensile deformation of the starting material. As a result, two major findings were revealed; the surface roughness formation behavior during the hollow sinking; the uniaxial tensile deformation exhibits a tube on both sides of the entrance and the exit of a die. Former uniaxial tensile deformation forms surface roughness of the tube at the die-entrance-side. However, hollow sinking reduces the roughness. The tube keeps its small roughness even though it is applied the later uniaxial tensile deformation behind the die exit. Furthermore, the conventional formula to predict the surface roughness of a metal sheet caused by the uniaxial tensile deformation can predict the surface roughness of a tube in the hollow sinking. At both die entrance and exit sides, the roughness of the inner surface was larger than that of the outer surface at the die entrance and exit side. The outer surface of the tube contacts the inside of a die when the tube passes through the die. The height of the convex parts decreased at that moment. Hollow sinking suppressed the increase in surface roughness of the inner surface as the outer surface was smoothed in the die. However, due to the formation of surface roughness after leaving the die, there is an overall increasing trend in inner surface roughness.

Investigations on the Effects of Bonding and Forming Conditions on the Deformation Behavior of Copper-Steel Bimetallic Rods during the Cold Drawing Processes.

Metal composite parts are widely used in different industries owing to their significant improvement in material properties, such as mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistivity, compared to traditional single metals. Such composite parts can be manufactured and processed in different ways to achieve the desired geometry and quality. Among various metal forming techniques, drawing is the most commonly used process to produce long composite wires or rods from raw single materials. During the drawing process of composite wires or rods, not only does the core radius ratio change, but the core or sleeve layer may also undergo necking or fracture due to excessive tensile stresses in the softer layer. In this paper, bimetallic rods with AISI-1006 low-carbon steel cores and C10100 oxygen-free electronic copper sleeves are modeled using the finite element software DEFORM. The simulation models are verified by drawing experiments. The effects of initial bonding conditions, the initial core ratio, reduction ratio, semi-die angle, drawing speed, and friction on the plastic deformation behavior of the bimetallic rods are investigated. The results indicate that the initial bonding conditions have a great impact on the deformation behavior of the billets in terms of strain distribution, material flow, residual stress, and the final core ratio. The permissible forming parameters for obtaining a sound product are investigated as well. With the aid of these analyses, the drawing process and the quality of the products can be controlled steadily.

Heat Flow Estimation in Polymer Films during Orientational Drawing at the Local Heater.

The optimization of the process of polymer film orientational drawing using the local heater was investigated. One of the problems with this technology is that the strength of the resulting fibers differs significantly from the theoretical estimates. It is assumed that one of the reasons is related to the peculiarity of this technology, when at the point of drawing the film is heated only on one side, which creates a temperature difference between the sides of the film in contact with the heater and the non-contact sides of the film in the air. Estimates show that even a small temperature difference of just 1 °C between these surfaces leads to a significant difference in the rate of plastic deformation of the corresponding near-surface layers. As a consequence, during hardening, in the stretching region, tensile stress is concentrated on the "cold" side of the film, and this effect can presumably lead to the generation of more defects overthere. It has been suggested that defects arising during first stage of hardening, namely, neck formation, can serve as a trigger for the formation of defects such as kink bands on the "cold" side with further orientational strengthening due to plastic deformation of the resulting fibrillar structure, at the boundaries of which microcracks are formed, leading to rupture of the oriented sample. The numerical calculation of heat propagation due to heat conduction in the film from the local surface of the heater is carried out and the temperature distribution along the thickness and width of the film during drawing is found. The temperature difference in the heated layer of the film between the contact and non-contact sides with the heater was calculated depending on the thickness of the film and the speed of its movement along the heater. It was found that the most homogeneous temperature distribution over the film thickness, which is required, by default, for the synchronous transformation of the unoriented initial folded lamellar structure into a fibrillar structure, is observed only for films with a thickness of less than 50 μm. The calculation allows us to scientifically justify the choice of orientation drawing speed and optimal thickness of the oriented polymer film, which is extremely important, for example, for obtaining super-strong and high-modulus UHMWPE filaments used in products for various purposes: from body armor to sports equipment and bioimplants.

Influence of wet wire drawing speed on the brass-plated steel cord properties

Steel cords are a reinforcing phase of the rubber-steel-canvas composite, and their properties, including strength, depend on the quality of the wires. The novelty of the work is a multi-parameter analysis of the cord production process, which showed that there is a relationship between the rheological properties of the lubricating emulsion, the friction conditions and deformation of the brass coating, and the properties of the wires and their resistance to cracking when braiding into a steel cord. It was shown that the friction conditions depend on the wire temperature and the rheological properties of the emulsion. As the drawing speed increases, the emulsion viscosity improves. The grease reaches its optimum at a specific drawing speed depending on the type of emulsion and the type of wire. Further increases in drawing speed result in an increase in temperature at the material/tool interface. This leads to a decrease in the viscosity of the emulsion and the breakdown of the lubricant film in the contact zone. Inappropriate selection of wet drawing speed contributes to a decrease in plastic properties and a reduction in the number of twists and bends of the wire, which leads not only to wire breakage at the stage of cord braiding but also to its premature breaking during the tensile test.

Synthesis and Characterization of ZnO and TiO2 Hybrid Coatings for Textile UV Anti-Aging Protection.

The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize thin hybrid films on polyurethane-coated knitted fabrics and to achieve satisfactory color fastness to artificial light. Sol-gel-derived hybrid thin films were deposited via the dip-coating of 3-glycidoxypropiltrimethoxysilane. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanopowders were added to compensate for the insufficient aging resistance, which manifests itself in low color fastness and is one of the most frequent complaints from manufacturers of coated marine fabrics (yachts, boats, etc.). The optimum processing conditions were determined by varying the concentration of precursors and auxiliaries, the mass concentration of TiO2 and ZnO nanopowders, the drawing speed, and the methods and process of fabric treatment. The hybrid films were also characterized using scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total internal reflection, while Spectraflash SF 300 investigated color fastness. After 300 h of exposure in a xenon chamber, the thin hybrid films showed good color fastness and good resistance to washing cycles. The sol-gel treatment proved to be a successful answer to the manufacturers' need for the post-treatment of polyurethane-coated knitted fabrics against UV radiation for use in the marine sector (yachts, speedboats, etc.).

Effects of drawing speed on microstructure and properties of Cu-Ni-Si alloy clad AA8030 alloy composites prepared by continuous casting composite technology

The Cu-Ni-Si alloy clad AA8030 alloy rod was prepared by continuous casting composite technology with gradient-varying drawing speeds, and the influences of drawing speed on the casting quality and microstructure of Cu-Ni-Si alloy clad AA8030 alloy rod were systematically studied. The drawing speed at which satisfactory continuous casting quality could be obtained was 90–120 mm/min. Meanwhile, axial columnar grains favorable for subsequent plastic processing were obtained, although the angle between columnar grains and axial direction increased with the increases of drawing speed. Moreover, with the drawing speed increasing from 90 mm/min to 120 mm/min, the thickness of composite interfacial layers was significantly increased, and the morphology of interfacial phases was gradually changed. The Cu-Ni-Si alloy cladding layer was cut from the composite to perform solution and aging experiments. The results showed that the solid solution effect of the as-cast Cu-Ni-Si alloy was consistent with that of the solution-treated Cu-Ni-Si alloy because of the rapid cooling characteristics of continuous casting composite technology, which solved the problem that the composite rod could not be solution treated as a whole due to the lower melting point of the Al core.

A Practical Analysis of Wire Drawing Operation Effects on the Die and Product Behaviors

This study analyse the effects of different wire drawing experimental tests on the die and product properties. Drawing load, temperature, and wear rate are main die factors, that concerned with the interaction effects of drawing speed variation, wire angle alignment and lubrication. For the product, two factors; tensile strength and hardness are taken. A copper wire is drawing from (4.3 mm) into (3.5 mm) diameter with an area reduction of 1.65, 34% ratio.Six dies were employed in various alignments at three different angles (0°, 1°, and 2°), each has two different drawing speeds of (20 mm/min and 40 mm/min). Results show, the highest drawing load and temperature values in die no.5. The effect of using grease on the die wear rate found that the die wear decreases compared to without. But, when using mixed gradients under the same working conditions, the wear rate changed into coating layer on the die surface. The interaction effect of wire alignment on the product strength showing very small when dealing with low or higher speed, but elongation and ductility are significantly reduced with increasing the angle. The wire produced from die no.1, gives the highest micro hardness.

Regional brain activity and neural network changes in cognitive-motor dual-task interference: A functional near-infrared spectroscopy study

Previous neuroimaging studies have reported dual-task interference (DTi) and deterioration of task performance in a cognitive-motor dual task (DT) compared to that in a single task (ST). Greater frontoparietal activity is a neural signature of DTi; nonetheless, the underlying mechanism of cortical network in DTi still remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the regional brain activity and neural network changes during DTi induced by highly demanding cognitive-motor DT. Thirty-four right-handed healthy young adults performed the spiral-drawing task. They underwent a paced auditory serial addition test (PASAT) simultaneously or independently while their cortical activity was measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Motor performance was determined using the balanced integration score (BIS), a balanced index of drawing speed and precision. The cognitive task of the PASAT was administered with two difficulty levels defined by 1 s (PASAT-1 s) and 2 s (PASAT-2 s) intervals, allowing for the serial addition of numbers. Cognitive performance was determined using the percentage of correct responses. These motor and cognitive performances were significantly reduced during DT, which combined a drawing and a cognitive task at either difficulty level, compared to those in the corresponding ST conditions. The DT conditions were also characterized by significantly increased activity in the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) compared to that in the ST conditions. Multivariate Granger causality (GC) analysis of cortical activity in the selected frontoparietal regions of interest further revealed selective top-down causal connectivity from the right DLPFC to the right inferior parietal cortex during DTs. Furthermore, changes in the frontoparietal GC connectivity strength between the PASAT-2 s DT and ST conditions significantly correlated negatively with changes in the percentage of correct responses. Therefore, DTi can occur even in cognitively proficient young adults, and the right DLPFC and frontoparietal network being crucial neural mechanisms underlying DTi. These findings provide new insights into DTi and its underlying neural mechanisms and have implications for the clinical utility of cognitive-motor DTs applied to clinical populations with cognitive decline, such as those with psychiatric and brain disorders.

Effect of bismuth on the mechanical properties and microstructure evolution of iron matrix during drawing: a molecular dynamics study

This paper investigates the effects of bismuth nanoparticles on the mechanical properties and microstructure evolution of single-crystal iron matrix materials during the drawing process using molecular dynamics methods, and also explores the effects of different drawing speeds and loading methods on the drawing process. The results show that the incorporation of bismuth nanoparticles has a significant effect on the axial drawing force, dislocation, shear strain and crystal evolution during the drawing process. When the bismuth nanoparticles started to deform under the action of drawing force, the atomic shear strain and crystal evolution were concentrated around them, which hindered the generation of dislocations and led to the reduction of their axial drawing force. In addition, the degree of atomic shear strain and crystal evolution increases with the increase of drawing speed, leading to work hardening of the material, and thus increasing the axial drawing force. Finally, when the loading mode is positioned at the rear end, shear strain becomes more concentrated around the bismuth nanoparticles, hindering dislocation generation and increasing the material’s hardness and axial drawing force. This study is important for understanding the mechanism of bismuth nanoparticles on the iron matrix of single-crystal during the drawing process.

Scalable Microwires through Thermal Drawing of Co-Extruded Liquid Metal and Thermoplastic Elastomer.

This article demonstrates scalable production of liquid metal (LM)-based microwires through the thermal drawing of extrudates. These extrudates were first co-extruded using a eutectic alloy of gallium and indium (EGaIn) as a core element and a thermoplastic elastomer, styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene (SEBS), as a shell material. By varying the feed speed of the co-extruded materials and the drawing speed of the extrudate, it was possible to control the dimensions of the microwires, such as core diameter and shell thickness. How the extrusion temperature affects the dimensions of the microwire was also analyzed. The smallest microwire (core diameter: 52 ± 14 μm and shell thickness: 46 ± 10 μm) was produced from a drawing speed of 300.1 mm s-1 (the maximum attainable speed of the apparatus used), SEBS extrusion speed of 1.50 mm3 s-1, and LM injection rate of 5 × 105 μL s-1 at 190 °C extrusion temperature. The same extrusion condition without thermal drawing generated significantly large extrudates with a core diameter of 278 ± 26 μm and shell thickness of 430 ± 51 μm. The electrical properties of the microwires were also characterized under different degrees of stretching and wire kinking deformation which proved that these LM-based microwires change electrical resistance as they are deformed and fully self-heal once the load is removed. Finally, the sewability of these microwires was qualitatively tested by using a manual sewing machine to pattern microwires on a traditional cotton fabric.

Design and Construction of Batik Drawing Machine with an Arduino-based CNC System

Technology continues to develop, especially in the world of manufacturing. Processes done manually by humans are replaced gradually by machines through automation. This paper proposes a batik drawing machine with Arduino-based computer numerical control (CNC). The intention is to reduce the production of small-sized batik products by eliminating the sketching process of the batik design on the fabric. Besides, the expertise in using canting, a pen-like tool, to apply the liquid wax on the fabric will not be required. A prototype of a batik drawing machine was designed and constructed using main components such as Arduino Mega 2560, NEMA17 HS4401 stepper motor, and RAMPS 1.4 controller board. The batik design data is to be prepared by using a graphic editor, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software. After several trials, the best setting for the canting temperature was found to be 112 °C with a drawing speed of 25 steps/mm and a 3 mm distance between the cloth and the tip of the canting. Three batik designs with different difficulty levels were tested for fabric printing. The fabrics were colored to obtain the final results. The batik products with a diameter of up to 450 mm can be finished satisfactorily

Manufacture of Microstructured Optical Fibers: Problem of Optimal Control of Silica Capillary Drawing Process

The effective control of any technological process is essential in ensuring high-quality finished products. This is particularly true in manufacturing knowledge-intensive and high-tech products, including microstructured photonic crystal fibers (PCF). This paper addresses the issues of stabilizing the optimal control of the silica capillary drawing process. The silica capillaries are the main components of PCF. A modified mathematical model proposed by the authors is used as the basic model of capillary drawing. The uniqueness of this model is that it takes into account the main forces acting during drawing (gravity, inertia, viscosity, surface tension, pressure inside the drawn capillary), as well as all types of heat transfer (heat conduction, convection, radiation). In the first stage, the system of partial differential equations describing heat and mass transfer was linearized. Then, the problem of the optimal control of the drawing process was formulated, and optimization systems for the isothermal and non-isothermal cases were obtained. In the isothermal case, optimal adjustments of the drawing speed were obtained for different objective functionals. Thus, the proposed approach allows for the constant monitoring and adjustment of the observed state parameters (for example, the outer radius of the capillary). This is possible due to the optimal control of the drawing speed to obtain high-quality preforms. The ability to control and promptly eliminate geometric defects in the capillary was confirmed by the analysis of the numerical calculations, according to which even 15% deviations in the outer radius of the capillary during the drawing process can be reduced to 4–5% by controlling only the capillary drawing speed.

Subthalamic stimulation modulates context-dependent effects of beta bursts during fine motor control

Increasing evidence suggests a considerable role of pre-movement beta bursts for motor control and its impairment in Parkinson’s disease. However, whether beta bursts occur during precise and prolonged movements and if they affect fine motor control remains unclear. To investigate the role of within-movement beta bursts for fine motor control, we here combine invasive electrophysiological recordings and clinical deep brain stimulation in the subthalamic nucleus in 19 patients with Parkinson’s disease performing a context-varying task that comprised template-guided and free spiral drawing. We determined beta bursts in narrow frequency bands around patient-specific peaks and assessed burst amplitude, duration, and their immediate impact on drawing speed. We reveal that beta bursts occur during the execution of drawing movements with reduced duration and amplitude in comparison to rest. Exclusively when drawing freely, they parallel reductions in acceleration. Deep brain stimulation increases the acceleration around beta bursts in addition to a general increase in drawing velocity and improvements of clinical function. These results provide evidence for a diverse and task-specific role of subthalamic beta bursts for fine motor control in Parkinson’s disease; suggesting that pathological beta bursts act in a context dependent manner, which can be targeted by clinical deep brain stimulation.

Virtual draw of microstructured optical fiber based on physics-informed neural networks.

The implementation of microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) with novel micro-structures and perfect performance is challenging due to the complex fabrication processes. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) offer what we believe to be a new approach to solving complex partial differential equations within the virtual fabrication model of MOFs. This study, for what appears to be the first time, integrates the complex partial differential equations and boundary conditions describing the fiber drawing process into the loss function of a neural network. To more accurately solve the free boundary of the fiber's inner and outer diameters, we additionally construct a neural network to describe the free boundary conditions. This model not only captures the evolution of the fiber's inner and outer diameters but also provides the velocity distribution and pressure distribution within the molten glass, thus laying the foundation for a quantitative analysis of capillary collapse. Furthermore, results indicate that the trends in the effects of temperature, feed speed, and draw speed on the fiber drawing process align with actual fabrication conditions, validating the feasibility of the model. The methodology proposed in this study offers what we believe to be a novel approach to simulating the fiber drawing process and holds promise for advancing the practical applications of MOFs.

Study on Thin Lamination of Carbon Fiber Based on Mechanical Broadening.

Carbon fiber has excellent mechanical properties and plays an important role in modern industry. However, due to the complexity of the carbon fiber widening process, the industrial application of carbon fiber is limited. By designing the carbon fiber widening equipment of automaton, the relationship between the widening width of carbon fiber and the process parameters is studied, and the optimum developing process parameters are obtained, to improve the performance of carbon fiber composites to a certain extent. In this study, the widening process of carbon fiber was studied based on the mechanical broadening method. Firstly, an automatic broadening equipment was designed, and the effects of the initial tension, the number of straight rods, the number of convex rods, and the drawing speed on the widened width during the broadening process were discussed. The widening effect was evaluated by SEM imaging and mechanical testing. At the same time, the factors affecting the broadening width and broadening defects during the broadening process were analyzed, and the optimal broadening process parameters were obtained. The results showed that within a specific range, a higher initial tension, a greater number of convex rods, and an appropriate speed resulted in relatively smaller damage to the broadening of carbon fibers. Through the design of automatic broadening, this experiment explores optimal broadening process parameters, provides a reference for the improvement of the carbon fiber broadening process and further promotes large-scale industrial applications of carbon fiber.

Numerical Simulation of Mold Slag Entrapment Behavior in Nonoriented Silicon Steel Production Process

This paper is based on the surface defects of casting billets in the production process of nonoriented silicon steel plates at a steel plant in North China. Taking the parameters of a slab mold in the nonoriented silicon steel production process as a prototype, the flow field characteristics of the mold under the same section, different drawing speed and immersion depth were systematically studied by using a LES (large eddy simulation) and VOF (volume of fluid) coupling algorithm. The results show that under the current conditions, when the critical slag entrapment speed increases from 1.0 m/min to 1.2 m/min, the nozzle insertion depth increases linearly with the critical slag entrapment speed, while when the nozzle insertion depth exceeds 130 mm, the increasing effect of further increasing the nozzle insertion depth on the critical slag entrapment speed begins to decrease. When the drawing speed of continuous casting is kept constant at 1.4 m/min, the abnormal fluctuation height of the steel slag interface is significantly improved when the angle of the water nozzle is increased from 15° to 20°, and the proportion of slag entrapment is also reduced from 0.376% to 0.015%. When the nozzle angle is 25°, the slag entrapment ratio is reduced to 0%, and the steel slag interface also ensures a certain activity. The numerical simulation results were applied to the industrial site, and the slag inclusion rate and crack rate of the billet in the continuous casting process of nonoriented silicon steel were obviously improved after the optimization process.

Effect of drawing speed on the deformation characteristics, microstructure and properties of copper wire rod

Currently, copper-based wire has been extensively applied in the information industry and for signal transmission due to its excellent performance in practice. Drawing speed, as a key parameter of the drawing process, has a significant impact on the production and quality of the wire. In this study, both simulation and experiment are performed to explore the evolution of deformation and damage behavior of copper wire and its microstructural properties during the process of multi-pass continuous drawing, with the drawing speed set to the range from 60 to 300 m/min. This provides guidance on the production and process optimization of the wire. It is revealed in the study that the surface of the pure copper wire is deformed more significantly than the core region, and that there is a rise in the equivalent strain and damage occurring at different locations in the longitudinal section of the wire as the number of passes increases. With the drawing speed increasing, the strain and damage occurring in the core region are reduced, while the damage caused by severe deformation on the surface shows nonlinearity. When the drawing speed increases, there is a significant improvement in the strength of the dominant texture component <101> in the copper wire, and the grain size of the wire is significantly refined. In the meantime, there is an increase in the density of dislocation within the wire. The severity of distortion caused to the grain tends to decrease, and the grain boundary is gradually blurred. By increasing the drawing speed, the surface quality of the wire is improved. Apart from that, there is a slight increase in the tensile strength, DC resistance and electrical resistivity of the copper wire, despite a decline in the conductivity of the wire.

Detection of Cognitive Impairment From eSAGE Metadata Using Machine Learning.

Using the metadata collected in the digital version of the Self-Administered Gerocognitive Examination (eSAGE), we aim to improve the prediction of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia (DM) by applying machine learning methods. A total of 66 patients had a diagnosis of normal cognition (NC), MCI, or DM, and eSAGE scores and metadata were used. eSAGE scores and metadata were obtained. Each eSAGE question was scored and behavioral features (metadata) such as the time spent on each test page, drawing speed, and average stroke length were extracted for each patient. Logistic regression (LR) and gradient boosting models were trained using these features to detect cognitive impairment (CI). Performance was evaluated using 10-fold cross-validation, with accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and receiver operating characteristic area under the curve (AUC) score as evaluation metrics. LR with feature selection achieved an AUC of 89.51%, a recall of 87.56%, and an F1 of 85.07% using both behavioral and scoring. LR using scores and metadata also achieved an AUC of 84.00% in detecting MCI from NC, and an AUC of 98.12% in detecting DM from NC. Average stroke length was particularly useful for prediction and when combined with 4 other scoring features, LR achieved an even better AUC of 92.06% in detecting CI. The study shows that eSAGE scores and metadata are predictive of CI. eSAGE scores and metadata are predictive of CI. With machine learning methods, the metadata could be combined with scores to enable more accurate detection of CI.
