Developing Concept Enriched Models for Big Data Processing Within the Medical Domain
(2020-07)
Within the past few years, the medical domain has endeavored to incorporate artificial intelligence, including cognitive computing tools, to develop enriched models for processing and synthesizing knowledge from Big Data. ...
Investigating the Use of Virtual Reality Headsets for Postural Control Assessment: An Instrument Validation Study
(JMIR Publications, 2020-10-11)
Accurately measuring postural sway is an important part of balance assessment and rehabilitation. Although force plates give accurate measurements, their costs and space requirements make their use impractical in many ...
Trends in illegal wildlife trade: Analyzing personal baggage seizure data in the Pacific Northwest.
(2020-06-10)
The illegal import of wildlife and wildlife products is a growing concern, and the U.S. is one of the world’s leading countries in the consumption and transit of illegal wildlife and their derivatives. Yet, few U.S. studies ...
Long-term nutrient enrichment, mowing, and ditch drainage interact in the dynamics of a wetland plant community.
(2020-10-16)
Fertilization studies have elucidated basic principles of the role of nutrients in shaping plant communities and demonstrated the potential effects of anthropogenic nutrient deposition. Yet less is known about how these ...
Hyaluronan regulates synapse formation and function in developing neural networks.
(2020-10-05)
Neurodevelopmental disorders present with synaptic alterations that disrupt the balance between excitatory and inhibitory signaling. For example, hyperexcitability of cortical neurons is associated with both epilepsy and ...
A Bayesian machine scientist to aid in the solution of challenging scientific problems
(2020-01-31)
Closed-form, interpretable mathematical models have been instrumental for advancing our understanding of the world; with the data revolution, we may now be in a position to uncover new such models for many systems from ...
Engaging with Library Staff: Lessons from a Staff Assembly
(2020-06-17)
East Carolina University’s J.Y. Joyner Library provides its employees with the opportunity to have their voice heard and impact the direction of the library by engaging its staff assemblies. The current SHRA Executive ...
Reflection tomography of time-lapse GPR data for studying dynamic unsaturated flow phenomena
(2020-01-14)
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) reflection tomography algorithms allow non-invasive monitoring of water
content changes resulting from flow in the vadose zone. The
approach requires multi-offset GPR data that are ...
Peroxisomal gene and protein expression increase in response to a high-lipid challenge in human skeletal muscle
(2020-04-21)
Peroxisomes are essential for lipid metabolism and disruption of liver peroxisomal function results in neonatal death. Little is known about how peroxisomal content and activity respond to changes in the lipid environment ...
