Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed form of cancer in Canadian men, and is the third leading cause of cancer death. Despite these statistics, prognosis is relatively good with a sufficiently early diagnosis, making fast and reliable prostate cancer detection crucial. As imaging-based prostate cancer screening, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), requires an experienced medical professio...

Archival storage in DNA is one of the most challenging themes rapidly growing information technology. In addition, its practical applications are more difficult due to complicated data analysis, instability long and linear strands (>1000 nt), other factors. present study, we have developed a simple eminent DNA-based system which small rings employed as memory units. Compared with previous appro...

During the last decade, automated DNA sequencing systems have started to gradually replace conventional methods of DNA sequencing and fragment analysis. Automated systems offer greater speed and ease of use, as they do not require a separate fragment detection step following electrophoresis. In addition, automated DNA sequencing and fragment analysis systems also offer substantial quality impro...

Correct evaluation of Machine Learning based sequencers require large data availability, large scale experiments and consideration of different evaluation measures. Such constraints make the construction of ad-hoc Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) unfeasible and impose early integration in already existing ITS, which possesses a large amount of tasks to be sequenced. However, such systems were...

purpose : to compare the outcome of surgery and postoperative complications between using manually dissected cornea in descemet’s stripping with endothelial keratoplasty (dsek) and using eye bank automated precut cornea in descemet’s stripping with automated endothelial keratoplasty (dsaek) methods : forty eyes with indication of endothelial keratoplasty (ek) were included in this randomized pr...

This study analyses the concept of cost functions for semi-automated Straddle Carrier (SC), Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG) and automated Rail Mounted Gantry (RMG) container yard operating cranes. It develops a generic cost based model for a pair-wise comparison, analysis and evaluation of economic efficiency and effectiveness of container yard equipment to be used for decision-making by terminal pla...

The Mondrian Project implements musical instruments on top of computer text editors. It consists of a music description language and interactive MIDI sequencers that may be used as editor plugins for both vim and Emacs.
