Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD), as a similarity measure, has received a lot of attention in the fields of multimedia and probabilistic databases, computer vision, image retrieval, machine learning, etc. EMD on multidimensional histograms provides better distinguishability between the objects approximated by the histograms (e.g., images), compared to classic measures like Euclidean distance. Despi...

The concomitant influence of grandparental (Generation 1; G1) and parental (G2) substance use disorder (SUD) on grandchild (G3) emotional disorder (EmD) across three generations is unclear. The present study addressed this in a sample of 284 families participating in the Oregon Adolescent Depression Project. Structured clinical interviews were used to collect psychiatric history data on a commu...

Enamel matrix derivative (EMD), an extract of fetal porcine enamel, and TGF-β can both suppress adipogenic differentiation. However, there have been no studies that functionally link the role of EMD and TGF-β in vitro. Herein, we examined whether TGF-β signaling contributes to EMD-induced suppression of adipogenic differentiation. Adipogenesis was studied with 3T3-L1 preadipocytes in the presen...

Purpose Extramedullary disease (EMD) at diagnosis in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has been recognized for decades. Reported herein are results from a large study of patients with AML who were treated in consecutive ECOG-ACRIN Cancer Research Group frontline clinical trials in an attempt to define the incidence and clinical implications of EMD. Methods Patients with newly diagnosed...

In this paper comparative study for QRS detection algorithms based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) are present. EMD is novel tool used for time-frequency analysis of any non-stationary signal. EMD decompose signal in to IMFs. In these study three different methods based on EMD is compared. In all three methods three different techniques are used, so their results are differ. The main obje...

The aim was to review the efficacy of the enamel matrix derivative (EMD) in direct pulp capping (DPC) procedures. Databases were explored using the following keywords: 'dental', 'dentine', 'enamel matrix derivative', 'pulp capping' and 'treatment'. The inclusion criteria were: (i) original studies; (ii) human and animal studies; (iii) reference list of potentially relevant original and review a...

Considering the problem of extracting a trend from a time series, we propose a novel approach based on empirical mode decomposition (EMD), called EMD trend filtering. The rationale is that EMD is a completely data-driven technique, which offers the possibility of estimating a trend of arbitrary shape as a sum of low-frequency intrinsic mode functions produced by the EMD. Based on an empirical a...

Hybrid model is a popular forecasting model in renewable energy related forecasting applications. Wind speed forecasting, as a common application, requires fast and accurate forecasting models. This paper introduces an Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) followed by a k Nearest Neighbor (kNN) hybrid model for wind speed forecasting. Two configurations of EMD-kNN are discussed in details: an EMD-...

The small molecule EMD 57033 has been shown to stimulate the actomyosin ATPase activity and contractility of myofilaments. Here, we show that EMD 57033 binds to an allosteric pocket in the myosin motor domain. EMD 57033-binding protects myosin against heat stress and thermal denaturation. In the presence of EMD 57033, ATP hydrolysis, coupling between actin and nucleotide binding sites, and acti...

Enamel matrix derivative Emdogain (EMD) is widely used in periodontal treatment in spite of the fact that its effect on the developing embryo has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the teratogenic effect of EMD on the rat embryo neural crest cells. The neural crest is a unique population of cells that migrates from the dorsal neural tube along defined pathways and pro...
