There has been growing interest in Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDA). Conventional EDA mainly use a linear string representation, resembling an individual of Genetic Algorithms (GA). Because of the flexibility of GP style tree encoding, a limited number of researchers have started addressing estimation of distribution of GP-style tree form solutions. For simplicity, we refer to this k...

Several lines of evidence indicate that Fibronectin Extra Domain A (EDA) promotes metastatic capacity of tumor cells by engaging cell surface α9β1 integrins. This interaction mediated by the C-C loop of EDA activates pro-oncogenic signaling pathways leading to epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of tumor cells, thus signifying its importance in control of metastatic progression. In this ...

Mammary gland development commences during embryogenesis with the establishment of a species typical number of mammary primordia on each flank of the embryo. It is thought that mammary cell fate can only be induced along the mammary line, a narrow region of the ventro-lateral skin running from the axilla to the groin. Ectodysplasin (Eda) is a tumor necrosis factor family ligand that regulates m...

Electrodermal Activity (EDA) − an index of sympathetic nervous system arousal − is one of the primary methods used in psychophysiology to assess the autonomic nervous system [1]. While many studies collect EDA data in short, laboratory-based experiments, recent developments in wireless biosensing have enabled longer, ‘out-of-lab’ ambulatory studies to become more common [2]. Such ambulatory met...

Advances in donor matching and immunosuppressive therapies have decreased the prevalence of acute rejection of cardiac grafts; however, chronic rejection remains a significant obstacle for long-term allograft survival. While initiating elements of anti-allograft immune responses have been identified, the linkage between these factors and the ultimate development of cardiac fibrosis is not well ...

Pain is a complex experience with sensory, emotional and cognitive aspects. It also includes a sympathetic response that can be captured by measuring the electrodermal activity (EDA). The present study was performed to investigate which brain areas are associated with sympathetic activation in experimental pain; an issue that has not been addressed with fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imagi...

OBJECTIVES To provide an in-depth analysis of seven well-reported studies that examined electrodermal activity (EDA) at acupuncture points with regard to three commonly held tenets of acupuncture: (1) EDA at pathology-related acupuncture points is distinguishable from non-pathology-related acupuncture points; (2) EDA at acupuncture points can assist in diagnosing and monitoring therapeutic prog...

In this paper, a new energy decomposition analysis scheme based on the generalized Kohn-Sham (GKS) and the localized molecular orbital energy decomposition analysis (LMO-EDA) scheme, named GKS-EDA, is proposed. The GKS-EDA scheme has a wide range of DFT functional adaptability compared to LMO-EDA. In the GKS-EDA scheme, the exchange, repulsion, and polarization terms are determined by DFT orbit...

h AT THE 50TH Design Automation Conference, Soha Hassoun organized a session to review the first 50 years of EDA and predict the next 25. While Bill Joyner [1] could draw upon the vast paper resources that MPA collected during the first 25 years of DAC and Rob Rutenbar [2] was able to apply some amazing analytics to the second 25 years of DAC proceedings, I turned to crowd sourcing to solicit i...
