Predictive Modelling and Its Visualization for Telehealth Data - Concept and Implementation of an Interactive Viewer.

Background: Predictive modelling is becoming increasingly important in the healthcare sector. A comprehensive understanding of obtained models and their predictions is indispensable for the development and later acceptance of such systems.

Objectives: A general concept of a toolset that supports data scientists in the development of predictive models in the telehealth context had to be developed and subsequently implemented.

Staphylococcus aureus sepsis in rheumatoid arthritis.

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are at increased risk of infection. In this study, we determined the risk of and risk factors for Staphyococcus aureus (S. aureus) sepsis in RA.

Spatial cluster analysis of nanoscopically mapped serotonin receptors for classification of fixed brain tissue.

We present a cluster spatial analysis method using nanoscopic dSTORM images to determine changes in protein cluster distributions within brain tissue. Such methods are suitable to investigate human brain tissue and will help to achieve a deeper understanding of brain disease along with aiding drug development. Human brain tissue samples are usually treated postmortem via standard fixation protocols, which are established in clinical laboratories.

Effects of early recruits on temperate sessile marine community composition depend on other species recruiting at the time.

In many environments recruitment of dispersive propagules (e.g. seeds, spores and larvae) can vary from situations when particular taxa recruit in relative isolation to times when they recruit simultaneously with other, functionally quite different taxa.

Contrasting effects of variable species recruitment on marine sessile communities.

The species composition, density, and frequency of recruitment into any given habitat are highly variable in most biological systems that rely on dispersive propagules (larvae, seeds, spores, etc.). There are few direct experimental studies of how recruitment variation between single species influences the composition and assembly of whole communities in many of these systems.

Effects of pulse versus steady recruitment on sessile marine communities.

Variation in patterns of propagule establishment (recruitment) has important effects on population dynamics and the structure of some communities. Most experimental studies have varied recruitment by changing the nature of a single event early in community development, but recruitment can also vary from steady rates of arrival to highly episodic 'pulse' events, causing differences in the temporal spacing of individuals recruiting into patches. We examined whether two different temporal patterns of recruitment of sessile invertebrates affected temperate marine communities in southeastern Australia in two experiments that were run at different times at the same site and that manipulated several different species.

A comprehensive study concerning the reproducibility and stability of organic n-type field effect transistors is presented. C(60) based OFETs were chosen to investigate the fabrication reproducibility and the long term stability because C(60) is a high mobility n-type material. We fabricated 48 transistors and each transistor was measured for 24 h inside the glove box.
