Advanced literature analysis in a Big Data world.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
Comprehensive data mining of the scientific literature has become an increasing challenge. To address this challenge, Elsevier's Pathway Studio software uses the techniques of natural language processing to systematically extract specific biological ...

Minimalistic optic flow sensors applied to indoor and outdoor visual guidance and odometry on a car-like robot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Here we present a novel bio-inspired optic flow (OF) sensor and its application to visual  guidance and odometry on a low-cost car-like robot called BioCarBot. The minimalistic OF sensor was robust to high-dynamic-range lighting conditions and to var...

Aerodynamic parameters from distributed heterogeneous CNT hair sensors with a feedforward neural network.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Distributed arrays of artificial hair sensors have bio-like sensing capabilities to obtain spatial and temporal surface flow information which is an important aspect of an effective fly-by-feel system. The spatiotemporal surface flow measurement enab...

Machine Learning for Characterization of Insect Vector Feeding.

PLoS computational biology
Insects that feed by ingesting plant and animal fluids cause devastating damage to humans, livestock, and agriculture worldwide, primarily by transmitting pathogens of plants and animals. The feeding processes required for successful pathogen transmi...

Computerized tomography-based anatomic description of the porcine liver.

The Journal of surgical research
BACKGROUND: The knowledge of the anatomic features is imperative for successful modeling of the different surgical situations. This study aims to describe the anatomic features of the porcine using computerized tomography (CT) scan.

In vitro growth and maturation of isolated caprine preantral follicles: Influence of insulin and FSH concentration, culture dish, coculture, and oocyte size on meiotic resumption.

Theriogenology
The aims of this study were: (1) to evaluate the effect of different insulin concentrations, alone or in combination with either a fixed FSH concentration or increasing FSH concentrations on the in vitro culture of isolated caprine preantral follicle...

Development of a plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) assay and comparison of plasma PAI-1 activity in hyperlipidemic/dyslipidemic dogs with either hyperadrenocorticism or diabetes mellitus, and healthy dogs.

Research in veterinary science
Thrombosis is a serious complication of many canine diseases and may be related to decreased fibrinolytic potential. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is the key regulator of fibrinolysis with increased levels demonstrated in states of pro-th...

Semi-supervised learning for genomic prediction of novel traits with small reference populations: an application to residual feed intake in dairy cattle.

Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE
BACKGROUND: Genomic prediction for novel traits, which can be costly and labor-intensive to measure, is often hampered by low accuracy due to the limited size of the reference population. As an option to improve prediction accuracy, we introduced a s...

Prediction of blood-brain barrier permeability of organic compounds.

Doklady. Biochemistry and biophysics
Using fragmental descriptors and artificial neural networks, a predictive model of the relationship between the structure of organic compounds and their blood-brain barrier permeability was constructed and the structural factors affecting the readine...

WORMHOLE: Novel Least Diverged Ortholog Prediction through Machine Learning.

PLoS computational biology
The rapid advancement of technology in genomics and targeted genetic manipulation has made comparative biology an increasingly prominent strategy to model human disease processes. Predicting orthology relationships between species is a vital componen...
