There is much evidence that long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) is associated with many diseases. However, it is time-consuming and expensive to identify meaningful lncRNA-disease associations (LDAs) through medical or biological experiments. Therefore, inv...
Individualized treatment regimes (ITRs) aim to recommend treatments based on patient-specific characteristics in order to maximize the expected clinical outcome. Outcome weighted learning approaches have been proposed for this optimization problem wi...
One way to interject knowledge into clinically impactful forecasting is to use data assimilation, a nonlinear regression that projects data onto a mechanistic physiologic model, instead of a set of functions, such as neural networks. Such regressions...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is third in prevalence and mortality among all cancers in the US. Currently, the United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends anyone ages 50-75 and/or with a family history to be screened for CRC. To impr...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Cancer, as the most challenging part in the human disease history, has always been one of the main threats to human life and health. The high mortality of cancer is largely due to the complexity of cancer and the significant...
BACKGROUND: Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is currently complementing techniques to age-grade mosquitoes. NIRS classifies lab-reared and semi-field raised mosquitoes into < or ≥ 7 days old with an average accuracy of 80%, achieved by training a re...
The primary goal in project portfolio management is to select and manage the optimal set of projects that contribute the maximum in business value. However, selecting Information Technology (IT) projects is a difficult task due to the complexities an...
PURPOSE: A new unsupervised learning method was developed to correct metal artifacts in MRI using 2 distorted images obtained with dual-polarity readout gradients.
OBJECTIVES: We develop a fuzzy evaluation model that provides managers at different responsibility levels in pharmaceutical laboratories with a rich picture of their innovation risk as well as that of competitors. This would help them take better str...

DNA mixture interpretation remains one of the major challenges in forensic DNA analysis. DNA mixture samples are inherently complex due to several factors including the variations in the quantity of DNA, the presence of non-allelic artifactual peaks ...
