an important aspect of microarray studies includes the prediction of patient survival based on their gene expression profile. to deal with the high dimensionality of this data, use of a dimension reduction procedure along with the survival prediction model is necessary. this study aimed to present a new method based on wavelet transform for survival relevant gene selection.the data included 204...

group dynamic assessment (g-da) grounded in vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory (sct) is believed to have the potential to provide a context for capturing a group of learners’ zone of proximal development (zpd) (poehner & lantolf, 2010; shabani, 2010). the present study aims at testing the applicability of g-da in identifying the mediational strategies offered by a mediator during his g-da int...

Objectives: This case study highlights the applicability of Dynamic Assessment (DA) in exploring the cognitive development and intellectual functioning of a schizophrenic foreign language learner. Methods: The general analytical framework of study to unmask the changes in the learner’s competence is Microgenesis. Results: Analysis of the findings not only supports the Vygotskian view re...

The combinations of inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and three classification algorithms, i.e., partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) and soft independent modeling of class analogies (SIMCA), for discriminating different brands of Iranian bottled mineral waters, were explored. ICP-OES was used for th...

BACKGROUND The influence of donor-transmitted coronary atherosclerosis (DA) on plaque progression during the first year after cardiac transplantation (Tx) is unknown. METHODS Serial 3-dimensional intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) studies were performed within 8 weeks (baseline; BL) and at 1 year after Tx in 38 recipients. On the basis of maximum intimal thickness (MIT) at BL, recipients were di...

In this paper, we present the design optimization of oneand two-dimensional fully-pipelined computing structures for areadelay-power-efficient implementation of finite impulse response (FIR) filter by systolic decomposition of distributed arithmetic (DA)based inner-product computation. The systolic decomposition scheme is found to offer a flexible choice of the address length of the look-up-tab...

Molecular biological data has rapidly increased with the recent progress of the Omics fields, e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics that necessitates the development of databases and methods for efficient storage, retrieval, integration and analysis of massive data. The present study reviews the usage of KNApSAcK Family DB in metabolomics and related area, discusses sever...
