BiCaps-DBP: Predicting DNA-binding proteins from protein sequences using Bi-LSTM and a 1D-capsule network.

Predicting DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) based solely on primary sequences is one of the most challenging problems in genome annotation. DBPs play a crucial role in various biological processes, including DNA replication, transcription, repair, and splicing. Some DBPs are essential in pharmaceutical research on various human cancers and autoimmune diseases.

Cardiovascular System Modeling Using Windkessel Segmentation Model Based on Photoplethysmography Measurements of Fingers and Toes.

Background: Photoplethysmography (PPG) contains information about the health condition of the heart and blood vessels. Cardiovascular system modeling using PPG signal measurements can represent, analyze, and predict the cardiovascular system.

Methods: This study aims to make a cardiovascular system model using a Windkessel model by dividing the blood vessels into seven segments.

DeepSperm: A robust and real-time bull sperm-cell detection in densely populated semen videos.

Background And Objective: Object detection is a primary research interest in computer vision. Sperm-cell detection in a densely populated bull semen microscopic observation video presents challenges that are more difficult than those presented by other general object-detection cases. These challenges include partial occlusion, vast number of objects in a single video frame, tiny size of the object, artifacts, low contrast, low video resolution, and blurry objects because of the rapid movement of the sperm cells.

Reproducibility of standing posture for X-ray radiography: a feasibility study of the BalancAid with healthy young subjects.

Unreliable spinal X-ray radiography measurement due to standing postural variability can be minimized by using positional supports. In this study, we introduce a balancing device, named BalancAid, to position the patients in a reproducible position during spinal X-ray radiography. This study aimed to investigate the performance of healthy young subjects' standing posture on the BalancAid compared to standing on the ground mimicking the standard X-rays posture in producing a reproducible posture for the spinal X-ray radiography.
