(2020-08-18)Department: Biomedical InformaticsAn increasing body of literature suggests that the human microbiome can be used to identify and predict the development of many diseases. Machine learning algorithms are often used to facilitate the disease-classification ...
-
(2008-07-23)Department: Biological SciencesThe influence of the mammalian retinal circadian clock on retinal physiology and function has been widely recognized, yet the cellular locations and neural regulation of retinal circadian pacemaking remains unclear. ...
-
(2012-02-03)Department: Electrical EngineeringSoft errors induced by radiation particles are increasingly becoming a source of concern for reliable design of VLSI systems. An important parameter to quantify the soft error response of a system is Architectural ...
-
(2008-04-14)Department: Computer ScienceFault diagnosis mechanisms for continuous dynamic systems involve building observers that can track system behavior. Continuous dynamic systems can be modeled using bond graphs which are a domain independent graphical ...
