Polygenic risk score and prostate specific antigen predict death from prostate cancer in men with intermediate aggressive cancer

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Using 21 SNPs, two novel PRS were constructed and used to develop two new machine‐learning classifiers, one for the detection of prostate cancer and the other for the prediction of its aggressiveness and subsequent mortality. The classifier for disease detection is built using the PRS as the sole feature, whereas the one for disease ...

A dual quaternion algorithm of the Helmert transformation problem

Earth, Planets and Space, 2018
Rigid transformation including rotation and translation can be elegantly represented by a unit dual quaternion. Thus, a non-differential model of the Helmert transformation (3D seven-parameter similarity transformation) is established based on unit dual ...

Stable Isotope Analysis as a Tool to Prevent Illicit Wildlife Trade of Songbirds in Brazil

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Feather isotopes provide clear differences between wild and captive songbirds in Brazil. Combining multiple isotopes improved classification accuracy and revealed individuals falsely declared as captive‐bred. These results demonstrate the potential of isotope analysis to detect wildlife laundering in the bird trade.

Formation of pure two-electron triplet states in weakly coupled quantum dots attached to ferromagnetic leads

, 2006
Weakly coupled quantum dots in the Pauli spin blockade regime are considered with respect to spin-dependent transport. By attaching one half-metallic and one non-magnetic lead, the Pauli spin blockade if formed by a pure triplet state with spin moment ...

Distinguishing Different Cancerous Human Cells by Raman Spectroscopy Based on Discriminant Analysis Methods

Applied Sciences, 2017
An approach to distinguish eight kinds of different human cells by Raman spectroscopy was proposed and demonstrated in this paper. Original spectra of suspension cells in the frequency range of 623~1783 cm−1 were acquired and pre-processed by baseline ...
