An E-Collaboration Application for Final-Year Project Management
The advent of digital technologies has contributed to collaboration in many areas of life, including academia. This paper examines student final year projects (FYPs) and proposes a collaborative system that provides tools in...
Design of a Functional H Filter for Linear Singular Systems With an Additional Unknown Input, Bounded Disturbance, and Variable Time Delay
This paper deals with a new method for the design of a functional filter for linear singular systems with bounded disturbance and variable time delay in the state and the known input vectors. Moreover, a disturbance unknown...
A New Design of a Functional H Filter for Linear Singular Systems With an Additional Unknown Input and Bounded Disturbances
This paper proposes a design of a H_¥ filter for a functional of the system state that the authors call functional H_¥ filter in time domain for linear singular systems with additional unknown inputs and bounded disturbances....
A Hybrid Hierarchical Heuristic-ACO With Local Search Applied to Travelling Salesman Problem, AS-FA-Ls
The combinatorial optimization problem is attracting research because they have a wide variety of applications ranging from route planning and supply chain optimization to industrial scheduling and the IoT. Solving such problems...
The changing prevalence and incidence of dementia over time — current evidence
Dementia is an increasing focus for policymakers, civil organizations and multidisciplinary researchers. The most recent descriptive epidemiological research into dementia is enabling investigation into how the prevalence and...
Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption May Modify Associations Between Genetic Variants in the CHREBP (Carbohydrate Responsive Element Binding Protein) Locus and HDL-C (High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol) and Triglyceride Concentrations.
BACKGROUND: ChREBP (carbohydrate responsive element binding protein) is a transcription factor that responds to sugar consumption. Sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption and genetic variants in the CHREBP locus have...
Novel pleiotropic risk loci for melanoma and nevus density implicate multiple biological pathways.
The total number of acquired melanocytic nevi on the skin is strongly correlated with melanoma risk. Here we report a meta-analysis of 11 nevus GWAS from Australia, Netherlands, UK, and USA comprising 52,506 individuals. We...
Genetic variation at 16q24.2 is associated with small vessel stroke.
Genetic loci for retinal arteriolar microcirculation.
Narrow arterioles in the retina have been shown to predict hypertension as well as other vascular diseases, likely through an increase in the peripheral resistance of the microcirculatory flow. In this study, we performed a...
