OBJECTIVE: Many studies have shown that the independence assumption in the widely-used ICAs is not adaptive enough for brain functional networks (BFN) detection due to the complex brain hemodynamics, functional integration, artifacts embedded in func...
Normalization of feature vector values is a common practice in machine learning. Generally, each feature value is standardized to the unit hypercube or by normalizing to zero mean and unit variance. Classification decisions based on support vector ma...

PURPOSE: To compare the perioperative outcomes, postoperative complications, and early oncologic outcomes of intracorporeal urinary diversion (ICUD) with those of extracorporeal urinary diversion (ECUD) following robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RA...
Recent years have shown the critical importance of inter-regional neural network connectivity in supporting healthy brain function. Such connectivity is measurable using neuroimaging techniques such as MEG, however the richness of the electrophysiolo...

While the association of eczema with asthma is well recognized, little research has focused on the potential role of inhalable exposures and eczema. While indoor air quality is important in the development of respiratory disease as children in the U....
AIMS: A fast, non-invasive and observer-independent method to analyze the homogeneity and maturity of human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) derived retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells is warranted to assess the suitability of hPSC-RPE cells for impla...
BACKGROUND: Osteonectin (OSN) plays a pivotal role in cardiac remodeling, but predictive value for OSN in ischemic chronic heart failure (CHF) has not been defined. The aim of the study was to evaluate the prognostic value of OSN for cumulative survi...
