Challenging situations for background subtraction algorithms
(Springer, 2019-05-01)
Background subtraction is the prerequisite for a wide range of applications including video surveillance, smart environments and content retrieval. Real environments present some challenging situations even for the most ...
Dataset size and composition impact the reliability of performance benchmarks for peptide-MHC binding predictions
(BioMed Central, 2014-07)
BACKGROUND: It is important to accurately determine the performance of peptide:MHC binding predictions, as this enables users to compare and choose between different prediction methods and provides estimates of the expected ...
Is it possible to predict falls in older adults using gait kinematics?
(2018-11-01)
Background: Gait kinematic parameters have been reported as an important clinical tool to assess the risk of falls in older adults. However, the ability of these parameters to predict falls in the older population is still ...
Genomic prediction with epistasis models: on the marker-coding-dependent performance of the extended GBLUP and properties of the categorical epistasis model (CE)
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2017-01-03)
Background: Epistasis marker effect models incorporating products of marker values as predictor variables in a linear regression approach (extended GBLUP, EGBLUP) have been assessed as potentially beneficial for genomic ...
Genomic prediction of breeding values for carcass traits in Nellore cattle
(2016-01-29)
Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of genomic predictions for rib eye area (REA), backfat thickness (BFT), and hot carcass weight (HCW) in Nellore beef cattle from Brazilian commercial ...
Does background colouration affect the behaviour of tadpoles? An experimental approach with an odonate predator
(2013-04-01)
Predation is a primary driver of tadpole assemblages, and the activity rate is a good predictor of the tadpoles' tolerance for predation risk. The conflicting demands between activity and exposure to predation can generate ...
Prediction of eye and hair pigmentation phenotypes using the HIrisPlex system in a Brazilian admixed population sample
(2021-01-01)
Human pigmentation is a complex trait, probably involving more than 100 genes. Predicting phenotypes using SNPs present in those genes is important for forensic purpose. For this, the HIrisPlex tool was developed for eye ...
Modeling the Zeta Potential of Silica Capillaries in Relation to the Background Electrolyte Composition
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2003-05)
A theoretical relation between the zeta potential of silica capillaries and the composition of the background electrolyte (BGE) is presented in order to be used in capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE). This relation is ...
Classification and regression tree (CART) model to predict pulmonary tuberculosis in hospitalized patients
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTDLONDON, 2012-08-07)
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a public health issue worldwide. The lack of specific clinical symptoms to diagnose TB makes the correct decision to admit patients to respiratory isolation a difficult task for the ...
Validity of an adaptation of the framingham cardiovascular risk function: comparison of predicted and observed outcomes with international risk models
Background: Global risk calculation is considered the best tool for community approach of comprehensive cardiovascular (CV) primary prevention, aiding in the establishment of health priorities.
One of the first predictive ...
