BACKGROUND: Human-likeliness of robot movements is a key component to enable a safe and effective human-robot interaction, since it contributes to increase acceptance and motion predictability of robots that have to closely interact with people, e.g....
The clinical value of multiple b-value diffusion-weighted (DW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been shown in many studies. However, DW-MRI often suffers from low signal-to-noise ratio, especially at high b-values. To address this limitation, we ...
Raman spectroscopy is a nondestructive, label-free, highly specific approach that provides the chemical information on materials. Thus, it is suitable to be used as an effective analytical tool to characterize biological samples. Here we introduce a ...

Remote identification of illegal plantations of Cannabis sativa Linnaeus is an important task for the Brazilian Federal Police. The current analytical methodology is expensive and strongly dependent on the expertise of the forensic investigator. A fa...
Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) is extensively employed for the structural analysis of the outermost surfaces of organic materials, including biological materials, because it provides detailed compositional information and e...
This study presents a rapid method to screen hepatitis B patients using serum Raman spectroscopy combined with long short-term memory neural network (LSTM). The serum samples taken from 435 hepatitis B patients and 699 non-hepatitis B people were mea...
Epoxidation is one of the reactions in drug metabolism. Since epoxide metabolites would bind with proteins or DNA covalently, drugs should avoid epoxidation metabolism in the body. Due to the instability of epoxide, it is difficult to determine epoxi...
Identification of biofilm inhibitory small molecules appears promising for therapeutic intervention against biofilm-forming bacteria. However, the experimental identification of such molecules is a time-consuming task, and thus, the computational app...
The diversity in our genome is crucial to understanding the demographic history of worldwide populations. However, we have yet to know whether subtle genetic differences within a population can be disentangled, or whether they have an impact on compl...

BACKGROUND: The key to modern drug discovery is to find, identify and prepare drug molecular targets. However, due to the influence of throughput, precision and cost, traditional experimental methods are difficult to be widely used to infer these pot...
