Quadrupedal galloping control for a wide range of speed via vertical impulse scaling.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper presents a bio-inspired quadruped controller that allows variable-speed galloping. The controller design is inspired by observations from biological runners. Quadrupedal animals increase the vertical impulse that is generated by ground rea...

New enhanced artificial bee colony (JA-ABC5) algorithm with application for reactive power optimization.

TheScientificWorldJournal
The standard artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm involves exploration and exploitation processes which need to be balanced for enhanced performance. This paper proposes a new modified ABC algorithm named JA-ABC5 to enhance convergence speed and imp...

State of the art of fuzzy methods for gene regulatory networks inference.

TheScientificWorldJournal
To address one of the most challenging issues at the cellular level, this paper surveys the fuzzy methods used in gene regulatory networks (GRNs) inference. GRNs represent causal relationships between genes that have a direct influence, trough protei...

Development and Validation of a Novel Robotic Procedure Specific Simulation Platform: Partial Nephrectomy.

The Journal of urology
PURPOSE: We developed a novel procedure specific simulation platform for robotic partial nephrectomy. In this study we prospectively evaluate its face, content, construct and concurrent validity.

miRBoost: boosting support vector machines for microRNA precursor classification.

RNA (New York, N.Y.)
Identification of microRNAs (miRNAs) is an important step toward understanding post-transcriptional gene regulation and miRNA-related pathology. Difficulties in identifying miRNAs through experimental techniques combined with the huge amount of data ...

DL-ReSuMe: A Delay Learning-Based Remote Supervised Method for Spiking Neurons.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
Recent research has shown the potential capability of spiking neural networks (SNNs) to model complex information processing in the brain. There is biological evidence to prove the use of the precise timing of spikes for information coding. However, ...

A novel device for studying weight supported, quadrupedal overground locomotion in spinal cord injured rats.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Providing weight support facilitates locomotion in spinal cord injured animals. To control weight support, robotic systems have been developed for treadmill stepping and more recently for overground walking.

Prediction of cancer proteins by integrating protein interaction, domain frequency, and domain interaction data using machine learning algorithms.

BioMed research international
Many proteins are known to be associated with cancer diseases. It is quite often that their precise functional role in disease pathogenesis remains unclear. A strategy to gain a better understanding of the function of these proteins is to make use of...

Innovative Bayesian and parsimony phylogeny of dung beetles (coleoptera, scarabaeidae, scarabaeinae) enhanced by ontology-based partitioning of morphological characters.

PloS one
Scarabaeine dung beetles are the dominant dung feeding group of insects and are widely used as model organisms in conservation, ecology and developmental biology. Due to the conflicts among 13 recently published phylogenies dealing with the higher-le...

Ontology application and use at the ENCODE DCC.

Database : the journal of biological databases and curation
The Encyclopedia of DNA elements (ENCODE) project is an ongoing collaborative effort to create a catalog of genomic annotations. To date, the project has generated over 4000 experiments across more than 350 cell lines and tissues using a wide array o...
