Transposable elements (TEs) play powerful and varied evolutionary and functional roles, and are widespread in most eukaryotic genomes. Research into their unique biology has driven the creation of a large collection of databases, software, classification systems, and annotation guidelines. The diversity of available TE-related methods and resources...

Parasitic diseases such as malaria remain a mayor burden on global health. One of the biggest challenges still to be overcome is that of inadequate diagnoses. This research explores the opportunities that Hyperspectral Imaging yields in this field. The first goal is to estimate the spectral signature of Malaria parasites in non-stained or Giemsa-st...

The seriousness and negative consequences of accidents and incidents in rail transport have forced all players in the rail system to set up an "experience feedback" system (REX) in order to improve operational safety. In this context, the knowledge of accidents and incidents results essentially from the contribution of lessons learned and experienc...

Running a reliability analysis on engineering problems involving complex numerical models can be computationally very expensive, requiring advanced simulation methods to reduce the overall numerical cost. Gaussian process based active learning methods for reliability analysis have emerged as a promising way for reducing this computational cost. In ...

The anatomy of the lymphatic vessels in the extremities is not completely understood. The aim of this study was to elucidate the patterns of the lymphatic pathways of each lymphosome in lymphedematous legs. We performed a retrospective study on 630 lymphosomes from 105 patients with leg lymphedema. The mean age of the subjects was 58.9 (range: 20-9...

A classification model using Vis-NIR spectroscopy (380–2000 nm) coupled with partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) was developed to segregate avocados in three classes, predefined by a warehouse using destructive FF tests performed on a small number of samples. This classification showed a satisfactory general accuracy of 62 %, with 1...

Brain responsiveness to stimulation fluctuates with rapidly shifting cortical excitability state, as reflected by oscillations in the electroencephalogram (EEG). For example, the amplitude of motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) elicited by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of motor cortex changes from trial to trial. To date, individual estimation...

Cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET) allows studying biological macromolecular complexes in cells by threedimensional (3D) data analysis. The complexes continuously change their shapes (conformations) to achieve biological functions. The shape heterogeneity in the samples imaged in the cryo electron microscope is a bottleneck for comprehending b...

Computer-coded verbal autopsy (CCVA) algorithms predict cause of death from high-dimensional family questionnaire data (verbal autopsy) of a deceased individual, which are then aggregated to generate national and regional estimates of cause-specific mortality fractions. These estimates may be inaccurate if CCVA is trained on non-local training data...

One-third of patients with schizophrenia are treatment-resistant to non-clozapine antipsychotics (TRS), while the rest respond (NTRS). Examining whether TRS and NTRS represent different pathophysiologies is an important step toward precision medicine. Focusing on cortical thickness (CT), we analyzed international multi-site cross-sectional datasets...
