The expected increase of global obesity prevalence makes it necessary to have information about the effects of meal intakes on the feeling of appetite. Because human clinical studies are time and cost intensive, there is a need for a reliable alterna...
BACKGROUND: Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancers. Whole-genome sequencing studies disclosed the genomic landscape of lung adenocarcinomas. however, it remains unclear if the genetic alternations could guide prognosis prediction...
Cooperative navigation and swarm decision making take center stage in a broad range of distributed applications with high-environmental and measurement uncertainties. Here, we propose a fuzzy carotid body-inspired nanonetwork (FCBN) of autonomous nan...
Aptamer-protein interacting pairs play important roles in physiological functions and structural characterization. Identifying aptamer-protein interacting pairs is challenging and limited, despite of the tremendous applications of aptamers. Therefore...
Jumping insects such as fleas, froghoppers, grasshoppers, and locusts take off from the ground using a catapult mechanism to push their legs against the surface of the ground while using their pairs of flapping wings to propel them into the air. Such...
The purpose of our study is to identify the predictive factors for a minimum clinically successful therapy after extracorporeal shock wave therapy for chronic plantar fasciitis. The demographic and clinical characteristics were evaluated. The artific...
Emotional arousal often facilitates memory for some aspects of an event while impairing memory for other aspects of the same event. Across three experiments, we found that emotional arousal amplifies competition among goal-relevant representations, s...
Predicting subject-specific responses to exoskeleton assistance may aid in maximizing functional gait outcomes, such as achieving full knee-extension at foot contact in individuals with crouch gait from cerebral palsy (CP). The purpose of this study ...
Statistical theory indicates that a flexible model can attain a lower generalization error than an inflexible model, provided that the setting is appropriate. This is highly relevant for mortality risk prediction with trauma patients, as researchers ...

Modular technology for product design and manufacturing is an effective way to solve mass customization problems. One difficulty in the application of modular technology is that the characteristics of mass customization, such as multi batch and small...
