Optimization on machine learning based approaches for sentiment analysis on HPV vaccines related tweets.

BACKGROUND: Analysing public opinions on HPV vaccines on social media using machine learning based approaches will help us understand the reasons behind the low vaccine coverage and come up with corresponding strategies to improve vaccine uptake.

Comparison of models for predicting the changes in phytoplankton community composition in the receiving water system of an inter-basin water transfer project.

Inter-basin water transfer projects might cause complex hydro-chemical and biological variation in the receiving aquatic ecosystems. Whether machine learning models can be used to predict changes in phytoplankton community composition caused by water transfer projects have rarely been studied. In the present study, we used machine learning models to predict the total algal cell densities and chang...

Accelerating Chart Review Using Automated Methods on Electronic Health Record Data for Postoperative Complications.

Manual Chart Review (MCR) is an important but labor-intensive task for clinical research and quality improvement. In this study, aiming to accelerate ...

Enhancing the Biological Relevance of Machine Learning Classifiers for Reverse Vaccinology.

Reverse vaccinology (RV) is a bioinformatics approach that can predict antigens with protective potential from the protein coding genomes of bacterial...

Microbial community redundancy in anaerobic digestion drives process recovery after salinity exposure.

Anaerobic digestion of high-salinity wastewaters often results in process inhibition due to the susceptibility of the methanogenic archaea. The abilit...

An inactivated influenza D virus vaccine partially protects cattle from respiratory disease caused by homologous challenge.

Originally isolated from swine, the proposed influenza D virus has since been shown to be common in cattle. Inoculation of IDV to naïve calves resulte...

Spatial dispersal of bacterial colonies induces a dynamical transition from local to global quorum sensing.

Bacteria communicate using external chemical signals called autoinducers (AI) in a process known as quorum sensing (QS). QS efficiency is reduced by b...

Into the Bowels of Depression: Unravelling Medical Symptoms Associated with Depression by Applying Machine-Learning Techniques to a Community Based Population Sample.

BACKGROUND: Depression is commonly comorbid with many other somatic diseases and symptoms. Identification of individuals in clusters with comorbid sym...

Tackling Missing Data in Community Health Studies Using Additive LS-SVM Classifier.

Missing data is a common issue in community health and epidemiological studies. Direct removal of samples with missing data can lead to reduced sample...

Factors influencing the potency of marbofloxacin for pig pneumonia pathogens Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida.

For the pig respiratory tract pathogens, Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Pasteurella multocida, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of marboflo...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Study for the Detection and Quantitation of Cholesterol in HSV529 Therapeutic Vaccine Candidate.

This study describes the NMR-based method to determine the limit of quantitation (LOQ) and limit of detection (LOD) of cholesterol, a process-related ...

An evidence synthesis of the international knowledge base for new care models to inform and mobilise knowledge for multispecialty community providers (MCPs).

BACKGROUND: NHS England's Five Year Forward View (NHS England, Five Year Forward View, 2014) formally introduced a strategy for new models of care dri...

The Markyt visualisation, prediction and benchmark platform for chemical and gene entity recognition at BioCreative/CHEMDNER challenge.

Biomedical text mining methods and technologies have improved significantly in the last decade. Considerable efforts have been invested in understandi...

Cascade of multi-scale convolutional neural networks for bone suppression of chest radiographs in gradient domain.

Suppression of bony structures in chest radiographs (CXRs) is potentially useful for radiologists and computer-aided diagnostic schemes. In this paper...

Global cluster synchronization in nonlinearly coupled community networks with heterogeneous coupling delays.

This investigation establishes the global cluster synchronization of complex networks with a community structure based on an iterative approach. The u...

HPIDB 2.0: a curated database for host-pathogen interactions.

Identification and analysis of host-pathogen interactions (HPI) is essential to study infectious diseases. However, HPI data are sparse in existing mo...

Link-Prediction Enhanced Consensus Clustering for Complex Networks.

Many real networks that are collected or inferred from data are incomplete due to missing edges. Missing edges can be inherent to the dataset (Faceboo...

Local community detection as pattern restoration by attractor dynamics of recurrent neural networks.

Densely connected parts in networks are referred to as "communities". Community structure is a hallmark of a variety of real-world networks. Individua...

Clinical impact of prostate biopsy undergrading in an academic and community setting.

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether the rate of Gleason score (GS) upgrade on final pathology, the rate of positive surgical margins (PSM) and the rate of bi...
