The ontogeny of kin-recognition mechanisms in Belding's ground squirrels.

Physiology & behavior
Despite extensive research on the functions and mechanisms of kin recognition, little is known about developmental changes in the abilities mediating such recognition. Belding's ground squirrels, Urocitellus beldingi, use at least two mechanisms of k...

Evaluation Results of an Ontology-based Design Model of Virtual Environments for Upper Limb Motor Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients.

Methods of information in medicine
OBJECTIVES: 1) To enhance the content of an ontology for designing virtual environments (VEs) for upper limb motor rehabilitation of stroke patients according to the suggestions and comments of rehabilitation specialists and software developers, 2) t...

Scientific Reproducibility in Biomedical Research: Provenance Metadata Ontology for Semantic Annotation of Study Description.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Scientific reproducibility is key to scientific progress as it allows the research community to build on validated results, protect patients from potentially harmful trial drugs derived from incorrect results, and reduce wastage of valuable resources...

Ontology-based automatic identification of public health-related Turkish tweets.

Computers in biology and medicine
Social media analysis, such as the analysis of tweets, is a promising research topic for tracking public health concerns including epidemics. In this paper, we present an ontology-based approach to automatically identify public health-related Turkish...

SAFE: SPARQL Federation over RDF Data Cubes with Access Control.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Several query federation engines have been proposed for accessing public Linked Open Data sources. However, in many domains, resources are sensitive and access to these resources is tightly controlled by stakeholders; consequently, privac...

Developing a knowledge base to support the annotation of ultrasound images of ectopic pregnancy.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Ectopic pregnancy is a frequent early complication of pregnancy associated with significant rates of morbidly and mortality. The positive diagnosis of this condition is established through transvaginal ultrasound scanning. The timing of d...

Toward a comprehensive drug ontology: extraction of drug-indication relations from diverse information sources.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Drug ontologies could help pharmaceutical researchers overcome information overload and speed the pace of drug discovery, thus benefiting the industry and patients alike. Drug-disease relations, specifically drug-indication relations, are...

Automatic query generation using word embeddings for retrieving passages describing experimental methods.

Database : the journal of biological databases and curation
Information regarding the physical interactions among proteins is crucial, since protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are central for many biological processes. The experimental techniques used to verify PPIs are vital for characterizing and assessing...

An ontological analysis of medical Bayesian indicators of performance.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Biomedical ontologies aim at providing the most exhaustive and rigorous representation of reality as described by biomedical sciences. A large part of medical reasoning deals with diagnosis and is essentially probabilistic. It would be an...

Developing the Quantitative Histopathology Image Ontology (QHIO): A case study using the hot spot detection problem.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Interoperability across data sets is a key challenge for quantitative histopathological imaging. There is a need for an ontology that can support effective merging of pathological image data with associated clinical and demographic data. To foster or...
