ISeeU: Visually interpretable deep learning for mortality prediction inside the ICU
(Academic Press Inc., 2019)
To improve the performance of Intensive Care Units (ICUs), the field of bio-statistics has developed scores which try to predict the likelihood of negative outcomes. These help evaluate the effectiveness of treatments and ...
Optimum search strategies or novel 3D molecular descriptors: Is there a stalemate?
(Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2015)
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 ...
Restoration of retinal images with space-variant blur
(2014)
Retinal images are essential clinical resources for the diagnosis of retinopathy and many other ocular diseases. Because of improper acquisition conditions or inherent optical aberrations in the eye, the images are often ...
Multi-server approach for high-throughput molecular descriptors calculation based on multi-linear algebraic maps
(Wiley-VCH Verlag, 2015)
The present report introduces a novel module of the QuBiLS-MIDAS software for the distributed computation of the 3D Multi-Linear algebraic molecular indices. The main motivation for developing this module is to deal with ...
Male facial anthropometry and attractiveness
(2012)
The symmetry and masculinity of the face are often considered important elements of male facial attractiveness. However, facial preferences are rarely studied on natural faces. We studied the effect of these traits and ...
Novel 3D bio-macromolecular bilinear descriptors for protein science: Predicting protein structural classes
(Academic Press, 2015)
In the present study, we introduce novel 3D protein descriptors based on the bilinear algebraic form in the ℝn space on the coulombic matrix. For the calculation of these descriptors, macromolecular vectors belonging to ...
Role of VEGF in the differential growth between the fetal and placental ends of the umbilical cord
(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 ...
A Hooke's law-based approach to protein folding rate
(Academic Press, 2015)
Kinetics is a key aspect of the renowned protein folding problem. Here, we propose a comprehensive approach to folding kinetics where a polypeptide chain is assumed to behave as an elastic material described by the ...
Towards better BBB passage prediction using an extensive and curated data set
(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 ...
Effectiveness of a visual noise warning system on noise levels in a surgical ICU: A quality improvement programme
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2019)
BACKGROUNDThe effects of noise are harmful to patients in the ICU environment, and the latter are particularly noisy places. High noise levels seem to be a factor in sleep disturbance, which can, in turn, result in increased ...
