Advanced Techniques for Robotic Assessment of Neurological Impairments In Stroke Patients
Tyryshkin, Kathrin (2014-09-29)Stroke is an acute injury of the central nervous system and is caused by the disruption of blood flow or by the rupture of blood vessels. A stroke can impact many body functions, often causing motor, speech, memory, vision ... -
Case-based reasoning - An effective paradigm for providing diagnostic support for stroke patients
Baig, Mariam (2008-09-27)A Stroke can affect different parts of the human body depending on the area of brain effected; our research focuses on upper limb motor dysfunction for stroke patients. In current practice, ordinal scale systems are used ... -
A Computational Approach to Predicting Distance Maps from Contact Maps
Kuo, Tony Chien-Yen (2012-05-23)One approach to protein structure prediction is to first predict from sequence, a thresholded and binary 2D representation of a protein's topology known as a contact map. Then, the predicted contact map can be used as ... -
A Multi-Advisor Evaluation Module for the Accurate Prediction of Alpha Helix Pairs
Sedfawi, Steve Joseph (2007-09-17)Accurate 3D protein structure prediction is one of the most challenging problems facing bioinformaticians today. This thesis develops and examines an evaluation module for ranking predicted super-secondary structures – ... -
Multi-Regional Analysis of Contact Maps for Protein Structure Prediction
Ahmed, Hazem Radwan A. (2009-04-24)1D protein sequences, 2D contact maps and 3D structures are three different representational levels of detail for proteins. Predicting protein 3D structures from their 1D sequences remains one of the complex challenges ... -
Parameter analysis for robotic assessment of impairments in reaching due to stroke
Abu-Zeid, Amr (2007-10-05)Stroke is a condition that arises from partial or complete blockage of blood flow to parts of the brain. Upper limb impairments (sensorimotor deficits) usually occur as a result of stroke. Assessment and diagnosis of the ... -
Pattern Discovery in Protein Structures and Interaction Networks
Ahmed, Hazem Radwan A. (2014-04-21)Pattern discovery in protein structures is a fundamental task in computational biology, with important applications in protein structure prediction, profiling and alignment. We propose a novel approach for pattern discovery ... -
The Universal Similarity Metric, Applied to Contact Maps Comparison in A Two-Dimensional Space
Rahmati, Sara (2008-09-27)Comparing protein structures based on their contact maps is an important problem in structural proteomics. Building a system for reconstructing protein tertiary structures from their contact maps is one of the motivations ...
