Constructing training set using distance between learnt graphical models of time series data on patient physiology, to predict disease scores.

Interventional endeavours in medicine include prediction of a score that parametrises a new subject's susceptibility to a given disease, at the pre-onset stage. Here, for the first time, we provide reliable learning of such a score in the context of the potentially-terminal disease VOD, that often arises after bone marrow transplants. Indeed, the probability of surviving VOD, is correlated with early intervention.

Highly Sensitive Switchable Heterojunction Photodiode Based on Epitaxial BiFeCrO Multiferroic Thin Films.

Perovskite multiferroic oxides are promising materials for the realization of sensitive and switchable photodiodes because of their favorable band gap (<3.0 eV), high absorption coefficient, and tunable internal ferroelectric (FE) polarization. A high-speed switchable photodiode based on multiferroic BiFeCrO (BFCO)/SrRuO (SRO)-layered heterojunction was fabricated by pulsed laser deposition.

Amyloidosis: The Newer Discovered ALECT2 Associated with der7q add(7).

Amyloidosis is characterized by pathological deposition of abnormal protein aggregates in various tissues, AL protein being the commonest. ALECT 2 is the newest protein described, having a predisposition to affect the kidneys, sometimes the liver and rarely other organs. We present a case of renal amyloid ALECT 2 due to leucocyte cell derived chemotaxin 2, a novel amyloidogenic protein.

Enhanced photovoltaic properties in bilayer BiFeO3/Bi-Mn-O thin films.

We report an external solar power conversion efficiency of ∼1.43% in BiFeO3(BFO)/BiMnO3(BMO) bilayer thin films. Both films are epitaxially grown on (111) oriented niobium doped SrTiO3 (NSTO) single crystal substrates by pulsed laser deposition.
