Thermo-optic tuning and switching in SOI waveguide Fabry-Perot microcavities
Compact silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide thermo-optically tunable Fabry-Perot microcavities with silicon/air Bragg mirrors are demonstrated. Quality factors of Q=4,584 are... -
Spatial patterns of unemployment in Central Europe: emerging development axes...
In this paper, we focus on mapping and analysing the spatial patterns of unemployment in four Central European countries – Austria, Czechia, Germany, and Poland, on municipal... -
Development of a data collection and management system in West Africa: challe...
Abstract Background Developing and sustaining a data collection and management system (DCMS) is difficult in malaria-endemic countries because of limitations in internet... -
Saturated absorption competition microscopy
Owing to the advantage of being non-invasive in observing living samples, far-field optical microscopy is widely used in the life sciences, but the existence of the diffraction... -
Mapping the predicted and potential impacts of metal mining and its mitigatio...
Abstract Background Since the 1960s, environmental impact assessments (EIAs) and recently, social impact assessments (SIAs), have been conducted during the planning stages of... -
CellTag Indexing: genetic barcode-based sample multiplexing for single-cell g...
Abstract High-throughput single-cell assays increasingly require special consideration in experimental design, sample multiplexing, batch effect removal, and data... -
A basic model for assessing primary health care electronic medical record dat...
Abstract Background The increased use of electronic medical records (EMRs) in Canadian primary health care practice has resulted in an expansion of the availability of EMR data.... -
WhatsGNU: a tool for identifying proteomic novelty
Abstract To understand diversity in enormous collections of genome sequences, we need computationally scalable tools that can quickly contextualize individual genomes based on... -
Novel three-dimensional bone ‘mapping’ software can help assess progression o...
Abstract Imaging of bone metastasis response to therapy is a research priority. Stradwin is a new software-tool, with demonstrated sub-voxel accuracy in assessing cortical bone... -
Optimal designs for estimating a choice hierarchy by a general nested multino...
In choice experiments the process of decision-making can be more complex than the proposed by the Multinomial Logit Model (MNL). In these scenarios, models such as the Nested... -
Understanding the uptake of a clinical innovation for osteoarthritis in prima...
Abstract Background Osteoarthritis is a leading cause of pain and disability worldwide. Despite research supporting best practice, evidence-based guidelines are often not... -
Improving the planning of the GP workforce in Australia: a simulation model i...
Abstract Background In Australia, the approach to health workforce planning has been supply-led and resource-driven rather than need-based. The result has been cycles of... -
Classical and Bayesian random-effects meta-analysis models with sample qualit...
Abstract Background Random-effects (RE) models are commonly applied to account for heterogeneity in effect sizes in gene expression meta-analysis. The degree of heterogeneity... -
Cnidaria: fast, reference-free clustering of raw and assembled genome and tra...
Abstract Background Identification of biological specimens is a requirement for a range of applications. Reference-free methods analyse unprocessed sequencing data without... -
Causal Interpretations of Black-Box Models
The fields of machine learning and causal inference have developed many concepts, tools, and theory that are potentially useful for each other. Through exploring the possibility... -
Spatial modeling, prediction and seasonal variation of malaria in northwest E...
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the spatial modeling, seasonal variation of malaria and making prediction map of malaria in northwest Ethiopia.... -
Millstone: software for multiplex microbial genome analysis and engineering
Abstract Inexpensive DNA sequencing and advances in genome editing have made computational analysis a major rate-limiting step in adaptive laboratory evolution and microbial... -
The higher education space: connecting degree programs from individuals’ choices
Abstract Data on the applicants’ revealed preferences when entering higher education is used as a proxy to build the Higher Education Space (HES) of Portugal (2008–2015) and... -
Positive association of tomato consumption with serum urate: support for toma...
Abstract Background Gout is a consequence of an innate immune reaction to monosodium urate crystals deposited in joints. Acute gout attacks can be triggered by dietary factors... -
Covariate Regularized Community Detection in Sparse Graphs
In this paper, we investigate community detection in networks in the presence of node covariates. In many instances, covariates and networks individually only give a partial...
