Support vector machines using EEG features of cross-frequency coupling can predict treatment outcome in Mecp2-deficient mice.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Anti-convulsive drug treatments of epilepsy typically produce varied outcomes from one patient to the next, often necessitating patients to go through several anticonvulsive drug trials until an appropriate treatment is found. The focus of this study...

Magnetically driven microrobotic system for cancer cell manipulation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Lab-on-a-chip applications, such as single cell manipulation and targeted delivery of chemicals, could greatly benefit from mobile untethered microdevices able to move in fluidic environments by using magnetic fields. In this paper a magnetically dri...

Self-entrainment to optimal gaits of an underactuated biomimetic swimming robot using adaptive frequency oscillators.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Underactuated compliant swimming robots are characterized by a simple mechanical structure, capable to mimic the body undulation of many fish species. One of the design issue for these robots is the generation and control of best performing swimming ...

Constructing Precisely Computing Networks with Biophysical Spiking Neurons.

The Journal of neuroscience : the official journal of the Society for Neuroscience
UNLABELLED: While spike timing has been shown to carry detailed stimulus information at the sensory periphery, its possible role in network computation is less clear. Most models of computation by neural networks are based on population firing rates....

Exploiting ontology graph for predicting sparsely annotated gene function.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Systematically predicting gene (or protein) function based on molecular interaction networks has become an important tool in refining and enhancing the existing annotation catalogs, such as the Gene Ontology (GO) database. However, functi...

Physicochemical properties and biological evaluation of Yoyo bitters.

African journal of medicine and medical sciences
BACKGROUND: The current widespread distribution and use of Yoyo bitters; an herbal bitters made in Nigeria calls for an assessment of its content, efficacy and extent to which this product achieves the labelled claim of being an herbal cleanser.

Effect of Mast Cell Chymase on Activation, Proliferation and Transdifferentiation of Hepatic Stellate Cells.

Hepato-gastroenterology
BACKGROUND/AIMS: This work aims to observe the effects of mast cell (MC) chymase on activation, proliferation and transdifferentiation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and to discuss the role of chymase in development of liver fibrosis.

Part 1. Statistical Learning Methods for the Effects of Multiple Air Pollution Constituents.

Research report (Health Effects Institute)
INTRODUCTION: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA*) currently regulates individual air pollutants on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis, adjusted for other pollutants and potential confounders. However, the National Academies of S...
