Spherical Deconvolution of MultichannelDiffusion MRI Data with Non-Gaussian NoiseModels and Spatial Regularization
(Biomed Central, 2015-10-15)
Spherical deconvolution (SD) methods are widely used to estimate the intra-voxel white-matter fiber orientations from diffusion MRI data. However, while some of these methods assume a zero-mean Gaussian distribution for ...
Social Inequalities in a Population Based Colorectal Cancer Screening Programme in the Basque Country
(Biomed Central, 2015-10-05)
Background: While it is known that a variety of factors (biological, behavioural and interventional) play a major role in the health of individuals and populations, the importance of the role of social determinants is less ...
A Decision Tree to Assess Short-Term Mortality After an Emergency Department Visit for an Exacerbation of COPD: a Cohort Study
(Biomed Central, 2015-12-22)
Background: Creating an easy-to-use instrument to identify predictors of short-term (30/60-day) mortality after an exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (eCOPD) could help clinicians choose specific measures ...
Identification of ncRNAs as Potential Therapeutic Targets in Multiple Sclerosis Through Differential ncRNA – mRNA Network Analysis
(Biomed Central, 2015-03-28)
Background: Several studies have revealed a potential role for both small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in the physiopathology of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). This potential implication ...
New generation of two-dimensional spintronic systems realized by coupling of Rashba and Dirac fermions
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-08-04)
Intriguing phenomena and novel physics predicted for two-dimensional (2D) systems formed by electrons in Dirac or Rashba states motivate an active search for new materials or combinations of the already revealed ones. Being ...
Energy and momentum transfer in one-dimensional trapped gases by stimulated light scattering
(IOP Publishing, 2015-06-10)
In ultracold atoms settings, inelastic light scattering is a preeminent technique to reveal static and dynamic properties at nonzero momentum. In this work, we investigate an array of one-dimensional trapped Bose gases, ...
Early response to nanoparticles in the Arabidopsis transcriptome compromises plant defence and root-hair development through salicylic acid signalling
(Biomed Central, 2015-04-24)
Background: The impact of nano-scaled materials on photosynthetic organisms needs to be evaluated. Plants represent the largest interface between the environment and biosphere, so understanding how nanoparticles affect ...
Muscle wasting in myotonic dystrophies: a model of premature aging
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2015-07-09)
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1 or Steinert's disease) and type 2 (DM2) are multisystem disorders of genetic origin. Progressive muscular weakness, atrophy and myotonia are the most prominent neuromuscular features of these ...
On contractive cyclic fuzzy maps in metric spaces and some related results on fuzzy best proximity points and fuzzy fixed points
(Springer International Publishing, 2015-07-02)
This paper investigates some properties of cyclic fuzzy maps in metric spaces. The convergence of distances as well as that of sequences being generated as iterates defined by a class of contractive cyclic fuzzy mapping ...
A formalism based on moments for classical and quantum cosmology
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2015)
We compare the classical and quantum description of systems with one degree of freedom with an effective formalism based on statistical moments. Within this formalism the similarities and differences between the classical ...
