The application of machine learning to bioinformatics problems is well established. Less well understood is the application of bioinformatics techniques to machine learning and, in particular, the representation of non-biological data as biosequences. The aim of this paper is to explore the effects of giving amino acid representation to problematic machine learning data and to evaluate the bene...

Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is a genetic disorder designated as t(4;11) (q21;23) showing interaction between gene and environment. Stem cell markers (Oct4, Nanog3 & Sox2) are the transcription factors regulating pluripotency during early differentiation of embryo. The role of stem cells interaction with severity of disease has been poorly described. Hence, the curiosity has been developed to d...

T he 11th International Conference of Radiopharmaceutical and Molecular Therapy (ICRT) was held in Kochi, Kerala, India, November 13–17, and was organized under the umbrella of the World Association of Radiopharmaceutical and Molecular Therapy (WARMTH) and in cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency. The meeting included presentations on various applications of radionuclides for ...

We read with interest the important prospective natural history study of respiratory virus infections (RVI) in lung transplant recipients by Bridevaux et al. Although the authors were unable to find an association between acute rejection and RVI, they acknowledge the possibility that RVI might predispose to chronic rejection, bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). The association between BOS ...

Bipolar Affective [Mood] Disorders are a class of psychiatric disorders that are the most distressing either from the point of view of patients [as in depressive phase] or from that of the caregivers [as in manic counterpart].These disorders have potential remission inbuilt in their defining criteria [American Psychiatric Association, 2000; World Health Association, 2002].They also are recogniz...

Introduction: Low backache is a common condition to occur in the middle age. It is mainly caused by the degeneration of the intervertebral disc which forms the main support to the vertebral column. Lumbar spinal canal stenosis results in the compression of spinal cord and nerves at the level of lumbar vertebra. Aim: The purpose of this study is to measure the spinal canal dimensions and correla...

For many years there has been considerable interest by the scientific, offshore and naval sectors in the design and development of unmanned marine vehicles (UMVs) in order to perform a multitude of different tasks. Much advancement has been realized in this area, however, the need for advanced navigation, guidance and control (NGC) systems for UMVs continues to grow as these sectors now demand ...
