Cross-collection latent Beta-Liouville allocation model training with privacy protection and applications

Author(s): Luo Z; Amayri M; Fan W; Bouguila N;

Cross-collection topic models extend previous single-collection topic models, such as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), to multiple collections. The purpose of cross-collection topic modeling is to model document-topic representations and reveal similarities between each topic and differences among groups. However, the restriction of Dirichlet prior and ...

A "biphasic glycosyltransferase high-throughput screen" identifies novel anthraquinone glycosides in the diversification of phenolic natural products

Author(s): Mohideen FI; Kwan DH;

The sugar moieties of many glycosylated small molecule natural products are essential for their biological activity. Glycosyltransferases (GTs) are the enzymes responsible for installing these sugar moieties on a variety of biomolecules. Several GTs that are active on natural products are inherently substrate-promiscuous and thus serve as useful tools in ...

Rheological Assessment of Oil-Xanthan Emulsions in Terms of Complex, Storage, and Loss Moduli

Author(s): Ghannam MT; Selim MYE; Zekri AY; Esmail N;

This experimental assessment was carried out to study the viscoelastic performance of crude oil-xanthan emulsions employing a RheoStress RS100 rheometer. Crude oil with a concentration range of 0-75% by volume was used to prepare the oil-gum emulsions. Two xanthan gums of Sigma and Kelzan were added in the emulsions with concentration ranges of 0-104 ppm. ...

Evaluating Emotional Outcomes of Medical Students in Pediatric Emergency Medicine Telesimulation

Author(s): Nomura O; Sunohara M; Watanabe I; Itoh T;

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has challenged the feasibility of traditional in-person simulation-based clinical training due to the public health recommendation on social distancing. During the pandemic, telesimulation training was implemented to avoid multiple students and faculties gathering in confined spaces. While medical trainees& ...

Geospatial analysis reveals a hotspot of fecal bacteria in Canadian prairie lakes linked to agricultural non-point sources

Author(s): Oliva A; Onana VE; Garner RE; Kraemer SA; Fradette M; Walsh DA; Huot Y;

Lakes are sentinels of environmental changes within their watersheds including those induced by a changing climate and anthropogenic activities. In particular, contamination originating from point or non-point sources (NPS) within watersheds might be reflected in changes in the bacterial composition of lake water. We assessed the abundance of potentially ...

Longitudinal relationships between conduct problems, depressive symptoms, and school dropout

Author(s): Lau MA; Temcheff CE; Poirier M; Commisso M; Déry M;

School dropout can be an ongoing process of academic failure and disengagement starting as early as elementary school. Given the multitude of factors involved and the importance of early identification of vulnerabilities, this study examined whether (a) initial levels of conduct problems and depressive symptoms predicted school dropout, (b) the rate of ch ...

Deep learning for collateral evaluation in ischemic stroke with imbalanced data

Author(s): Aktar M; Reyes J; Tampieri D; Rivaz H; Xiao Y; Kersten-Oertel M;

Purpose: Collateral evaluation is typically done using visual inspection of cerebral images and thus suffers from intra- and inter-rater variability. Large open databases of ischemic stroke patients are rare, limiting the use of deep learning methods in treatment decision-making.
Methods: We adapted a pre-trained Eff ...
