BACKGROUND: Previous research has implicated demographic, psychological, behavioral, and cognitive variables in the onset and maintenance of pediatric overweight/obesity. No adequately-powered study has simultaneously modeled these variables to asses...
BACKGROUND: Dynamic analyses of walking rely on the 3D ground reaction forces (GRF) under each foot, while only the resultant force of both limbs may be recorded on a single-belt instrumented treadmill or when both feet touch the same force platform.
Recent research of [Scholcover and Gillan ( 2018 )] has shown experimentally that system transmission delay has a linear effect on the time taken to perform a complex tracking task with a simple teleoperated robot. This note shows that, for the case ...
Stomata regulate important physiological processes in plants and are often phenotyped by researchers in diverse fields of plant biology. Currently, there are no user-friendly, fully automated methods to perform the task of identifying and counting st...
Environmental monitoring and assessment

PM air pollution is a significant issue for human health all over the world, especially in East Asia. A large number of ground-based measurement sites have been established over the last decade to monitor real-time PM concentration. However, even thi...
BACKGROUND: Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is standard staging procedure for nodal status in breast cancer, but lacks therapeutic benefit for patients with benign sentinel nodes. For patients with positive sentinel nodes, individualized surgical s...
Empirical spatial air pollution models have been applied extensively to assess exposure in epidemiological studies with increasingly sophisticated and complex statistical algorithms beyond ordinary linear regression. However, different algorithms hav...
The concentration of sheep cheese whey (CW) in water obtained from two Spanish reservoirs, two Spanish rivers, and distilled water has been estimated by combining spectroscopic measurements, obtained with light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and linear or n...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In the last decade, RNA-sequencing technology has become method-of-choice and prefered to microarray technology for gene expression based classification and differential expression analysis since it produces less noisy data....
