Predicting effects of structural stress in a genome-reduced model bacterial metabolism [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 We studied in silico effects of structural stress in Mycoplasma pneumoniae, a genome-reduced model bacterial organism, by tracking the damage propagating on its metabolic network after a deleterious perturbation. First, we analyzed failure cascades spreading from individual reactions and pairs of reactions and compared the results to those in ...

Finding Covid-19 from Chest X-rays using Deep Learning on a Small Dataset [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Testing for COVID-19 has been unable to keep up with the demand. Further, the false negative rate is projected to be as high as 30% and test results can take some time to obtain. X-ray machines are widely available and provide images for diagnosis quickly. This paper explores how useful chest X-ray images can be in diagnosing COVID-19 disease.
