Genrate: a generative model that finds and scores new genes and exons in genomic microarray data
Abstract : Recently, researchers have made some progress in using microarrays to validate predicted exons in genome sequence and find new gene structures. However, current methods rely on separately making threshold-based decisions on intensity of expression, similarity of expression profiles, and arrangements of exons in the genome. We have taken a Bayesian approach and developed GenRate,...PET-CT Scores High On Precision for Diagnosing Ovarian Cancer Recurrence
Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston have established via a study, the high reliability factor of PET-CT for detecting recurrent ovarian cancer// , which is perhaps even more precise than mere CT or PT conducted exclusively. The researchers analyzed 54 body CT, PET and PET-CT examinations on 53 patients with ovarian cancer who were being studied for recurrence of...Milk Chocolate, Cinnamon, And Peppermint Scores Good For Brain
In Wheeling Jesuit University some researchers found that milk chocolate containing caffeine has been good for keeping brain alert, controls impulses// and having better reaction times. Hence, chocolate lovers were found to have better cognitive abilities than others. Adding value to the above study, an under graduate student, with the guidance of his Professer, Dr. Bryan...Breathing Exercises Scores Over Inhalers
A report on asthma and exercises says, for people with mild asthma, shallow breathing through the nose, and some non-specific upper body exercises, will make people to use a reliever inhaler very rarely//. A medical journal Thorax focuses that breathing techniques are the most commonly used alternative for inhalers. A short-acting beta-2 agonist, such as albuterol, is the reliever used...Warm Watermelon Scores Over Cold In Nutritive Value
Washington: Researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture have indicated the enhanced nutritive benefits of watermelon at normal temperature as against cold Watermelon. // According to scientists, watermelons are a production house of nutrients even after they are severed from the parent plant, which slows down once the melon is cooled. Further, researchers said that watermelons...Can Giving More Homework Improve Test Scores For Children?
Educations intuitions and policy makers have been in constant pressure to improve educations patters and homework policies. A recent study of global homework// patterns done by a group of researchers from Penn State, suggests that the benefits of more homework assignments to boost student test scores may vary widely. It was found that this variation is according to the grade level, the qu...
