Weakly-supervised Multi-output Regression via Correlated Gaussian Processes [PDF]
Multi-output regression seeks to borrow strength and leverage commonalities across different but related outputs in order to enhance learning and prediction accuracy. A fundamental assumption is that the output/group membership labels for all observations are known. This assumption is often violated in real applications.

Hormonal Factors Moderate the Associations Between Vascular Risk Factors and White Matter Hyperintensities [PDF]
Objective: To examine the moderation effects of hormonal factors on the associations between vascular risk factors and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) in men and women, separately. Methods: WMH were automatically segmented and quantified in the UK Biobank dataset (N = 18,294). Generalised linear models were applied to examine 1) the main effects of

Infrared Spectra and Chemical Abundance of Methyl Propionate in Icy Astrochemical Conditions [PDF]
We carried out an experiment in order to obtain the InfraRed (IR) spectra of methyl propionate (CH3CH2COOCH3) in astrochemical conditions and present the IR spectra for future identification of this molecule in the InterStellar Medium (ISM). The experimental IR spectrum is compared with the theoretical spectrum and an attempt was made to assign the ...

Integrating microbial electrochemical technologies with anaerobic digestion to accelerate propionate degradation [PDF]
The aim of this study is to evaluate the integration of microbial electrochemical technologies (MET) with anaerobic digestion (AD) to overcome AD limitations caused by propionate accumulation. The study focuses on understanding to what extent the inoculum impacts on the behaviour of the integrated systems (AD-MET) from the perspective of propionate ...

Profiling of FSHR Negative Allosteric Modulators on LH/CGR Reveals Biased Antagonism with Implications in Steroidogenesis [PDF]
Biased signaling has recently emerged as an interesting mean to modulate the function of many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Previous studies reported two negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) of follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), ADX68692 and ADX68693, with differential effects on FSHR-mediated steroidogenesis and ovulation.
