VAD-MM/GBSA: A Variable Atomic Dielectric MM/GBSA Model for Improved Accuracy in Protein-Ligand Binding Free Energy Calculations

Journal of Chemical Information and Modeling, 2021
The molecular mechanics/generalized Born surface area (MM/GBSA) has been widely used in end-point binding free energy prediction in structure-based drug design (SBDD).

Computational characterization of flow and blood damage potential of the new maglev CH-VAD pump versus the HVAD and HeartMate II pumps

International Journal of Artificial Organs, 2020
Left ventricular assist devices are routinely used to treat patients with advanced heart failure as a bridge to transplant or a destination therapy. However, non-physiological shear stress generated by left ventricular assist devices damages blood cells.

A comparative study of robustness of deep learning approaches for VAD

IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2016
Voice activity detection (VAD) is an important step for real-world automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. Deep learning approaches, such as DNN, RNN or CNN, have been widely used in model-based VAD.

Evaluating vad for automatic speech recognition

International Conference on the Software Process, 2014
Voice activity detection (VAD) plays a crucial role in speech processing, especially in automatic speech recognition (ASR). It identifies the boundaries of the speech to be recognized and the boundary accuracies may significantly affect the recognition ...

A robust frontend for VAD: exploiting contextual, discriminative and spectral cues of human voice

Interspeech, 2013
Reliable automatic detection of speech/non-speech activity in degraded, noisy audio signals is a fundamental and challenging task in robust signal processing.

Powering a Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) With the Free-Range Resonant Electrical Energy Delivery (FREE-D) System

Proceedings of the IEEE, 2012
Wireless data communication technology has eliminated wired connections for data transfer to portable devices. Wireless power technology offers the possibility of eliminating the remaining wired connection: the power cord. For ventricular assist devices (

Superiority of thalidomide and dexamethasone over vincristine-doxorubicindexamethasone (VAD) as primary therapy in preparation for autologous transplantation for multiple myeloma.

Blood, 2005
The aim of the present study was to compare thalidomide-dexamethasone (Thal-Dex) and vincristine-doxorubicin-dexamethasone (VAD) as primary therapy in preparation for autologous peripheral blood stem-cell (PBSC) transplantation for multiple myeloma (MM).
