CarcinoPred-EL: Novel models for predicting the carcinogenicity of chemicals using molecular fingerprints and ensemble learning methods.

Scientific reports
Carcinogenicity refers to a highly toxic end point of certain chemicals, and has become an important issue in the drug development process. In this study, three novel ensemble classification models, namely Ensemble SVM, Ensemble RF, and Ensemble XGBo...

Experimental and numerical studies of beetle-inspired flapping wing in hovering flight.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In this paper, we measure unsteady forces and visualize 3D vortices around a beetle-like flapping wing model in hovering flight by experiment and numerical simulation. The measurement of unsteady forces and flow patterns around the wing were conducte...

Analytical solution of the steady membrane voltage fluctuation caused by a single ion channel.

Physical review. E
An analytical steady-state solution of the stochastic model describing the integrated dynamics of the membrane voltage and the gating of a single channel is presented. The voltage density function experiences bifurcation in the parameter space, and t...

Tonic regulation of stationary asynchronous firing of a neural network.

Journal of computational neuroscience
The impact of tonic conductance upon population activity was investigated. An extra tonic transmembrane current through GABA-activated extrasynaptic GABA -receptors was found to control stationary asynchronous firing both quantitatively and qualitat...

Undulatory Swimming Performance and Body Stiffness Modulation in a Soft Robotic Fish-Inspired Physical Model.

Soft robotics
Undulatory motion of the body is the dominant mode of locomotion in fishes, and numerous studies of body kinematics and muscle activity patterns have provided insights into the mechanics of swimming. However, it has not been possible to investigate h...

An Intracardiac Soft Robotic Device for Augmentation of Blood Ejection from the Failing Right Ventricle.

Annals of biomedical engineering
We introduce an implantable intracardiac soft robotic right ventricular ejection device (RVED) for dynamic approximation of the right ventricular (RV) free wall and the interventricular septum (IVS) in synchrony with the cardiac cycle to augment bloo...

A fuzzy logic-based tool to assess beef cattle ranching sustainability in complex environmental systems.

Journal of environmental management
One of the most relevant issues in discussion worldwide nowadays is the concept of sustainability. However, sustainability assessment is a difficult task due to the complexity of factors involved in the natural world added to the human interference. ...

Machine-learning-based calving prediction from activity, lying, and ruminating behaviors in dairy cattle.

Journal of dairy science
The objective of this study was to use automated activity, lying, and rumination monitors to characterize prepartum behavior and predict calving in dairy cattle. Data were collected from 20 primiparous and 33 multiparous Holstein dairy cattle from Se...

Cardiac Muscle Cell-based Actuator and Self-stabilizing Biorobot - Part 2.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
In recent years, hybrid devices that consist of a living cell or tissue component integrated with a synthetic mechanical backbone have been developed. These devices, called biorobots, are powered solely by the force generated from the contractile act...

A Cancer Gene Selection Algorithm Based on the K-S Test and CFS.

BioMed research international
BACKGROUND: To address the challenging problem of selecting distinguished genes from cancer gene expression datasets, this paper presents a gene subset selection algorithm based on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test and correlation-based feature selec...
