$\mathcal {C}-$IBI: Targeting cumulative coordination within an iterative protocol to derive coarse-grained models of (multi-component) complex fluids

, 2016
We present a coarse-graining strategy that we test for aqueous mixtures. The method uses pair-wise cumulative coordination as a target function within an iterative Boltzmann inversion (IBI) like protocol.

Procalcitonin at 12–36 hours of fever for prediction of invasive bacterial infections in hospitalized febrile neonates

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
AimWe aimed to investigate the performance of procalcitonin (PCT) assay between 12 and 36 h after onset of fever (PCT H12-H36) to predict invasive bacterial infection (IBI) (ie, meningitis and/or bacteremia) in febrile neonates.MethodsWe retrospectively ...

Joint Channel-and-Network Coding Using EXIT Chart Aided Relay Activation

, 2011
This paper presents a relay activation scheme designed for joint channel-and-network (JCN) coded systems relying on an iterative decoding. A primary focus is on proposing criteria of the relay activation to find the best user combination for cooperative ...

Experimental analysis and computational modeling of interburst intervals in spontaneous activity of cortical neuronal culture [PDF]

, 2011
Rhythmic bursting is the most striking behavior of cultured cortical networks and may start in the second week after plating. In this study, we focus on the intervals between spontaneously occurring bursts, and compare experimentally recorded values with

Development of a phytoplankton-based index of biotic integrity for ecological health assessment in the Yangtze River

Ecological Processes, 2023
Background The application of index of biotic integrity (IBI) to evaluate river health can be an essential method for river ecosystem management. However, these types of methods were developed in small, low-order streams, and are therefore, infrequently ...

Survival rates of captive-bred Asian Houbara Chlamydotis macqueenii in a hunted migratory population [PDF]

, 2016
Asian Houbara Chlamydotis macqueenii numbers are declining owing to unsustainable levels of hunting and poaching, with the main conservation response being population reinforcement through the release of captive-bred birds.

Comparing the performance of the water quality index and phytoplankton index of biotic integrity in assessing the ecological status of three urban rivers in Haikou City, China

Ecological Indicators, 2023
The urban rivers, Changwang, Meishe, and Wuyuan, are vital water resources in Haikou City, China. However, pollution from various anthropogenic activities negatively impacts their ecological status. This study aimed to develop and compare the performance

An individualized Bayesian method for estimating genomic variants of hypertension

BMC Genomics, 2023
Background Genomic variants of the disease are often discovered nowadays through population-based genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Identifying genomic variations potentially underlying a phenotype, such as hypertension, in an individual is ...
