Efficacy of pain treatment on mood syndrome in patients with dementia: a randomized clinical trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08)Background: Depression is common in nursing home (NH) patients with dementia, and often clustered with anxiety and other mood symptoms. An association between pain and depressive symptoms has been reported, but the impact ... -
Efficacy of processed amaranth-containing bread compared to maize bread on hemoglobin, anemia and iron deficiency anemia prevalence among two-to-five yearold anemic children in Southern Ethiopia: A cluster randomized controlled trial
(Journal article, 2020-09-28)Background: Few studies have evaluated iron-rich plant-based foods, such as amaranth grain, to reduce anemia and iron deficiency anemia. Amaranth is rich in nutrients, but with high level of phytate. The objective of this ... -
Efficacy of treating segmental bone defects through endochondral ossification: 3D printed designs and bone metabolic activities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Three-dimensional printing (3D printing) is a promising technique for producing scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications. Porous scaffolds can be printed directly, and the design, shape and porosity can be ... -
Efficiency and catch dynamics of collapsible square and conical crab pots used in the red king crab (Paralithodes camtschaticus) fishery
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008)We compared the capture efficiency and catch dynamics of collapsible square and conical pots used in resource assessment and harvesting of red king crabs (Paralithodes camtschaticus [Tilesius, 1815]) in the Barents Sea. ... -
The efficiency of maltodextrin and porous silicon nanoparticles for the in vitro and in vivo stabilization of tyrosine hydroxylase
(Master thesis, 2016-06-01)Parkinson's disease is a severe neurodegenerative disease, which causes deterioration of the dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra. Lack of dopamine causes motor function problems and cognitive decline. Due to ... -
Efficient and crucial quality control of HAP1 cell ploidy status
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The near-haploid human cell line HAP1 recently became a popular subject for CRISPR/Cas9 editing, since only one allele requires modification. Through the gene-editing service at Horizon Discovery, there are at present more ... -
Efficient Brain Age Prediction from 3D MRI Volumes Using 2D Projections
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Using 3D CNNs on high-resolution medical volumes is very computationally demanding, especially for large datasets like UK Biobank, which aims to scan 100,000 subjects. Here, we demonstrate that using 2D CNNs on a few 2D ... -
Efficient CRISPR-Cas9-mediated generation of knockin human pluripotent stem cells lacking undesired mutations at the targeted locus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05)The CRISPR-Cas9 system has the potential to revolutionize genome editing in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), but its advantages and pitfalls are still poorly understood. We systematically tested the ability of CRISPR-Cas9 ... -
Efficient extracellular vesicle isolation by combining cell media modifications, ultrafiltration, and size-exclusion chromatography
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09-27)Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a heterogeneous population of biological particles released by cells. They represent an attractive source of potential biomarkers for early detection of diseases such as cancer. However, ... -
Efficient extraction of small microplastic particles from rat feed and feces for quantification
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)To date, microplastic is ubiquitously encountered in the environment. Studies analyzing microplastic in terrestrial ecosystems, including animal feces and feed, are few. Microplastic quantification method validation and ... -
Efficient Global Minimization for the Multiphase Chan-Vese Model of Image Segmentation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009)The Mumford-Shah model is an important variational image segmentation model. A popular multiphase level set approach, the Chan-Vese model, was developed as a numerical realization by representing the phases by several ... -
Efficient global minimization methods for variational problems in imaging and vision
(Doctoral thesis, 2011-08-19)Energy minimization has become one of the most important paradigms for formulating image processing and computer vision problems in a mathematical language. Energy minimization models have been developed in both the ... -
Efficient hash maps to G2 on BLS curves
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)When a pairing e:G1×G2→GT, on an elliptic curve E defined over a finite field Fq, is exploited for an identity-based protocol, there is often the need to hash binary strings into G1 and G2. Traditionally, if E admits a ... -
Efficient implementation of LowMC in HElib
(Master thesis, 2018-06-19)LowMC is a symmetric block cipher designed for fully homomorphic encryption. This thesis focuses on Martin Albrecht’s implementation of the cipher in the FHE library HElib, and how his implementation can be improved when ... -
Efficient Minimum Weight Vertex Cover Heuristics Using Graph Neural Networks
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Minimum weighted vertex cover is the NP-hard graph problem of choosing a subset of vertices incident to all edges such that the sum of the weights of the chosen vertices is minimum. Previous efforts for solving this in ... -
Efficient Monte Carlo simulation reveals significant multiple scattering errors in underwater angular scattering measurements
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Multiple scattering can severely affect the accuracy of optical instrumentation. Variance reduction methods have been implemented to improve a Monte Carlo model developed to simulate volume scattering functions measured ... -
