BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Videocapsule endoscopy (VCE) is a relatively new technique for evaluating the presence of villous atrophy in celiac disease patients. The diagnostic analysis of video frames is currently time-consuming and tedious. Recently,...
With recent advances in DNA sequencing technologies, fast acquisition of large-scale genomic data has become commonplace. For cancer studies, in particular, there is an increasing need for the classification of cancer type based on somatic alteration...
BACKGROUND: Recent reports of the National Ministry of Health and Treatment of Iran (NMHT) show that Gilan has a higher annual incidence rate of leptospirosis than other provinces across the country. Despite several efforts of the government and NMHT...

This paper presents theoretical results on the multistability of switched neural networks with commonly used sigmoidal activation functions under state-dependent switching. The multistability analysis with such an activation function is difficult bec...
Vehicular traffic noise is the main source of noise pollution in major cities around the globe. A reliable and accurate method for the estimation of vehicular traffic noise is therefore essential for creating a healthy noise-free environment. In this...
Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing generates a comprehensive profiling of the gene methylation levels, but is limited by a high cost. Recent studies have partitioned the genes into landmark genes and target genes and suggested that the landmark gene e...
An important aspect of robotic radiation therapy is active compensation of target motion. Recently, ultrasound has been proposed to obtain real-time volumetric images of abdominal organ motion. One approach to realize flexible probe placement through...
Linear machine learning models "learn" a data transformation by being exposed to examples of input with the desired output, forming the basis for a variety of powerful techniques for analyzing neuroimaging data. However, their ability to learn the de...
A commentary by Thoemmes on Wiedermann and Sebastian's introductory article on Direction Dependence Analysis (DDA) is responded to in the interest of elaborating and extending direction dependence principles to evaluate causal effect directionality. ...
