Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is one of the most severe forms of male infertility, but its diagnosis biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity are largely unknown. Transcription factors (TFs) play essential roles in many pathological processes in different diseases. Herein, we aimed to identify the TFs showing high diagnosis ability for ...

CONTEXT: Despite recent improvements in living standards, a substantial proportion of farm households in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is food insecure, and increasing crop productivity could help address this problem. OBJECTIVE: We estimated the effect of increasing maize yields with mineral fertilizer on household food security and on regional and nat...

Diagnostic and Prognostic Research
BackgroundBuilding prognostic models of clinical outcomes is an increasingly important research task and will remain a vital area in genomic medicine. Prognostic models of clinical outcomes are usually built and validated utilizing variable selection methods and machine learning tools. The challenges, however, in ultra-high dimensional space are no...

The Science of the total environment
Terrestrial pollution has a great impact on the coastal ecological environment, and widely distributed coastal outfalls act as the final gate through which pollutants flow into rivers and oceans. Thus, effectively monitoring the water quality of coastal outfalls is the key to protecting the ecological environment. Satellite remote sensing provides ...

Ticks and tick-borne diseases
Digital maps, particularly displayed on virtual globes, will represent the most important source of geographical knowledge in the future. The best known of these virtual globes is Google Earth, whose use in teaching at schools and universities is now common practice. As the first result of a series of forthcoming digital tick maps, the worldwide di...

To construct an automatic machine-learning derived algorithm discriminating between normal corneas and suspect irregular or keratoconic corneas. A total of 8526 corneal tomography images of 4904 eyes obtained between November 2010 and July 2017 using a combined Scheimpflug/Placido tomographer were retrospectively evaluated. Each image was evaluated...

Land use and land cover (LULC) change has become a critical issue for decision planners and conservationists due to inappropriate growth and its effect on natural ecosystems. As a result, the goal of this study is to identify the LULC for the Vembanad Lake system (VLS), Kerala, in the short term, i.e., within a decade, utilizing three standard mach...

Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a highly virulent and often lethal illness that affects humans through contact with the body fluid of infected persons. Glycoprotein and matrix protein VP40 play essential roles in the virus life cycle within the host. Whilst glycoprotein mediates the entry and fusion of the virus with the host cell membrane, VP40 is al...

Estimation of large-scale and high-precision water quality parameters is critical in explaining the spatiotemporal dynamics and the driving factors of water quality variability, especially in areas with environmental complexity (e.g., crisscrossing waterways, high flood risk in rainy season and seawater invasion). Thus, in this study, a retrieval a...

Lung transplantation has been accepted as a viable treatment for end-stage respiratory failure. While regression models continue to be a standard approach for attempting to predict patients' outcomes after lung transplantation, more sophisticated supervised machine learning (ML) techniques are being developed and show encouraging results. Transplan...
