Opportunistic Wireless Relay Networks: Diversity-Multiplexing Tradeoff [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
Opportunistic analysis has traditionally relied on independence assumptions that break down in many interesting and useful network topologies. This paper develops techniques that expand opportunistic analysis to a broader class of networks, proposes new opportunistic methods for several network geometries, and analyzes them in the high-SNR regime.

Flow cytometry to assess the counts and physiological state of Cronobacter sakazakii cells after heat exposure [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Cronobacter sakazakii is an opportunistic pathogen associated with outbreaks of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis, septicemia, and meningitis. Reconstituted powdered infant formulae (PIF) is the most common vehicle of infection. Plate count methods do not provide direct information on the physiological status of cells.

Interpretable Network Propagation with Application to Expanding the Repertoire of Human Proteins that Interact with SARS-CoV-2 [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Background: Network propagation has been widely used for nearly 20 years to predict gene functions and phenotypes. Despite the popularity of this approach, little attention has been paid to the question of provenance tracing in this context, e.g., determining how much any experimental observation in the input contributes to the score of every ...

Global trends and epidemiological shifts in gastrointestinal cancers: insights from the past four decades

Cancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The epidemiological profiles of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers vary across countries and over time, largely reflecting variations in risk factors and screening practices. We aimed to provide an overview of the current global burden of the five major types of GI cancers and conduct an updated evaluation of the long‐term trends of GI ...
