Magnetocaloric Effect Caused by Paramagnetic Austenite–Ferromagnetic Martensite Phase Transformation
(MDPI, 2018-12-21)
In the present work, the magnetization of Ni50Mn17.5Ga25Cu7.5 alloy undergoing the first-order phase transition from paramagnetic austenite to ferromagnetic martensite was measured to evaluate the magnetic-field-induced ...
Two Datasets of Defect Reports Labeled By a Crowd of Annotators of Unknown Reliability
(Elsevier, 2018-06)
Classifying software defects according to any defined taxonomy is not straightforward. In order to be used for automatizing the classification of software defects, two sets of defect reports were collected from public issue ...
Deterministic Evolutionary Trajectories Influence Primary Tumor Growth: TRACERx Renal
(Cell Press, 2018-04-19)
The evolutionary features of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) have not been systematically studied to date. We analyzed 1,206 primary tumor regions from 101 patients recruited into the multi-center prospective study, ...
Timing the Landmark Events in the Evolution of Clear Cell Renal Cell Cancer: TRACERx Renal
(Cell Press, 2018-04-19)
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by near-universal loss of the short arm of chromosome 3, deleting several tumor suppressor genes. We analyzed whole genomes from 95 biopsies across 33 patients with ...
Automatic Analysis of Archimedes’ Spiral for Characterization of Genetic Essential Tremor Based on Shannon’s Entropy and Fractal Dimension
(MDPI, 2018-07)
Among neural disorders related to movement, essential tremor has the highest prevalence; in fact, it is twenty times more common than Parkinson's disease. The drawing of the Archimedes' spiral is the gold standard test to ...
The Impact of Tumor Eco-Evolution in Renal Cell Carcinoma Sampling
(MDPI, 2018-12-04)
Malignant tumors behave dynamically as cell communities governed by ecological principles. Massive sequencing tools are unveiling the true dimension of the heterogeneity of these communities along their evolution in most ...
Novel Dextran-Supported Biological Probes Decorated with Disaccharide Entities for Investigating the Carbohydrate-Protein Interactions of Gal-3.
(Wiley, 2018-11-30)
The quest for novel natural-like biomolecular probes that can be used to gain information on biological recognition events is of topical interest to several scientific areas. In particular, the recognition of carbohydrates ...
Tracking Cancer Evolution Reveals Constrained Routes to Metastases: TRACERx Renal
(Cell Press, 2018-04-19)
Clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) exhibits a broad range of metastatic phenotypes that have not been systematically studied to date. Here, we analyzed 575 primary and 335 metastatic biopsies across 100 patients with ...
Identification and Monitoring of Parkinson's Disease Dysgraphia Based on Fractional-Order Derivatives of Online Handwriting
(MDPI, 2018-12-11)
Parkinson's disease dysgraphia affects the majority of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and is the result of handwriting abnormalities mainly caused by motor dysfunctions. Several effective approaches to quantitative PD ...
Novel Biobased Polyamide 410/Polyamide 6/CNT Nanocomposites
(MDPI, 2018-09)
Biobased polyamide 410 (PA410)/multiwall carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites (NCs) were obtained by melt-mixing in a twin screw extruder a Polyamide 6 (PA6)-based masterbatch (with 15 wt % CNT content) with neat PA410. ...
