UNLABELLED We present an efficient computational architecture designed using supervised machine learning model to predict amyloid fibril forming protein segments, named AmylPepPred. The proposed prediction model is based on bio-physio-chemical properties of primary sequences and auto-correlation function of their amino acid indices. AmylPepPred provides a user friendly web interface for the res...

Breastfeeding and breastmilk are essential to hospitalised infants and young children and paediatric nurses are required to have breastfeeding knowledge. However, few studies have investigated paediatric nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards breastfeeding. A descriptive, cross-sectional survey design was used to investigate breastfeeding knowledge, knowledge related to breastfeeding the hospi...

Three researchers recru...

OBJECTIVES To operationalize a comprehensive description of attrition, including pre-inclusion, dropout, and attrition due to intermittent missing data, and to test a predictive model of attrition using a data set from a randomized controlled intervention in pediatric asthma. METHODS Participants included children, ages 4-12, diagnosed with asthma and their caregivers. Demographic variables a...
