How to measure distance visual acuity

open access: yesCommunity Eye Health Journal, 2014
Visual acuity (VA) is a measure of the ability of the eye to distinguish shapes and the details of objects at a given distance. It is important to assess VA in a consistent way in order to detect any changes in vision. One eye is tested at a time.

Novel Linear Diophantine Fuzzy Information Measures Based Decision Making Approach Using Extended VIKOR Method

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2023
One of the purposes of fuzzy set theory is to overcome the uncertainties in the problems of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) via membership functions. But the fuzzy set theory has own limitations. To remove the limitations on membership functions of

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Detect and exploit hidden structure in fatty acid signature data

open access: yesEcosphere, 2017
Estimates of predator diet composition are essential to our understanding of their ecology. Although several methods of estimating diet are practiced, methods based on biomarkers have become increasingly common. Quantitative fatty acid signature analysis

IncDTW: An R Package for Incremental Calculation of Dynamic Time Warping

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2021
Dynamic time warping (DTW) is a popular distance measure for time series analysis and has been applied in many research domains. This paper proposes the R package IncDTW for the incremental calculation of DTW, and based on this principle IncDTW also ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Multi-Attribute Decision-Making Approach Based on Dual Hesitant Fuzzy Information Measures and Their Applications

open access: yesMathematics, 2019
Combining the ideas and advantages of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) and hesitant fuzzy set (HFS), dual hesitant fuzzy set (DHFS) could express uncertain and complex information given by decision makers (DMs) in a more flexible manner.

Biophysical approaches for studying viral entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses infect all living organisms and have been responsible for major epidemics and pandemics. Their ongoing evolutionary battle with host defenses creates a constant need for improved tools to study viral behavior. Advancing methods to probe viral attachment, fusion, and genome release deepen our understanding of how infections begin and support the
