Towards a computational paradigm for biomedical structure

چکیده
The symbolic representation of the physical structure of living organisms needs an ontologically well-founded and logically sound approach so that formal reasoning can adequately be supported. We describe a set of canonical relations and attributes necessary for the description of biological structures. Based on these epistemological primitives, we sketch how a broad range of organisms can be represented by cascading theories which are ordered by various dimensions, such as granularity, development, species and canonicity. We thus aim at a rational reconstruction and nonredundant representation of biological structure

Computational approach towards identification of pathogenic missense mutations in AMELX gene and their possible association with amelogenesis imperfecta
Amelogenin gene (AMEL-X) encodes an enamel protein called amelogenin, which plays a vital role in tooth development. Any mutations in this gene or the associated pathway lead to developmental abnormalities of the tooth. The present study aims to analyze functional missense mutations in AMEL-X genes and derive an association with amelogenesis imperfecta. The information on miss...
متن کاملکتابداری و اطلاعرسانی و مفهوم پارادایم در فلسفه علم توماس کوهن
Purpose: The present work aimed to find out if the concept of paradigm in Tomas Kuhn’s Philosophy has any equivalents in the area of Library and Information Science (LIS). Methodology: After a comprehensive study of the book “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions”, especially the concept of paradigm in it, the LIS related theories are critically investigated and recommendations on the necess...
متن کاملNumber Crunching towards Molecular Barcoding
Molecules are the basic and most important players of life. Molecules are composed of atoms, and each molecule has two main specifications or inheritances that are structures, and in biomedical applications, biological function. This dichotomy can be compared to living organisms or humans whom possess genotype and phenotype. Each of the two main inherited elements contains a variety of feat...
متن کاملAn Autonomic Service Oriented Architecture in Computational Engineering Framework
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) technology enables composition of large and complex computational units out of the available atomic services. Implementation of SOA brings about challenges which include service discovery, service interaction, service composition, robustness, quality of service, security, etc. These challenges are mainly due to the dynamic nature of SOA. SOAmay often need to ...
متن کاملGlobal Computational Modeling of Cardiovascular Blood Flow
The cardiovascular system is an internal flow network with multiple branches in which three-dimensional and pulsatile blood flow circulates. We propose a new paradigm of simulation-based biomedical engineering, which is designed as a useful means for predictive medicine. In order to achieve this paradigm a global computational modeling of cardiovascular blood flow is highlighted and some prelim...
