      The present manuscript describes a novel 3D-QSAR alignment free method (QuBiLS-MIDAS Duplex) based on algebraic bilinear, quadratic and linear forms on the kth two-tuple spatial-(dis)similarity matrix. Generalization schemes ...
    • Role of VEGF in the differential growth between the fetal and placental ends of the umbilical cord 

      Olaya-C M.; Michael F.; Fabian G.; Luis Silva J.; Bernal J.E.; Garzon A.L. (IOS Press, 2019)
      INTRODUCTION: The umbilical cord (UC) is a vital structure; its alterations affect the newborn and neurological impact can be permanent. Paradoxically, factors that determine it remain unknown. We explore the differential ...
    • Towards better BBB passage prediction using an extensive and curated data set 

      Brito-Sánchez Y.; Marrero-Ponce Y.; Barigye S.J.; Yaber Goenaga, Iván; Morell Pérez C.; Le-Thi-Thu H.; Cherkasov A. (Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2015)
      In the present report, the challenging task of drug delivery across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is addressed via a computational approach. The BBB passage was modeled using classification and regression schemes on a novel ...
    • Ultrasound image enhancement: A review 

      Contreras Ortiz, Sonia Helena; Chiu T.; Fox M.D. (2012)
      Medical ultrasound imaging uses pulsed acoustic waves that are transmitted and received by a hand-held transducer. This is a mature technology that it is widely used around the world. Among its advantages are that it is ...
    • Umbilical cord and preeclampsia 

      Olaya-C M.; Salcedo-Betancourt J.; Galvis S.H.; Ortiz A.M.; Gutierrezb S.; Bernal J.E. (IOS Press, 2016)
      Preeclampsia is associated with abnormalities in the umbilical cord in several ways: morphological, biochemical and functional. Alteration in blood vessels of the placenta, decidua and circulatory system of the fetus might ...
    • Vehicular road influence areas 

      Huertas M.E.; Huertas, J.I.; Valencia A. (Elsevier Ltd, 2017)
      Vehicle operation over paved and unpaved roads is an emission source that significantly contributes to air pollution. Emissions are derived from vehicle exhaust pipes and re-suspension of particulate matter generated by ...
    • Volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere of Mexico City
