Abstract:

Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modeling is a well-known in silico technique with extensive applications in several major fields such as drug design, predictive toxicology, materials science, food science, etc. Handling small-sized datasets due to the lack of experimental data for specialized end points is a crucial task for the QSAR researcher. In the present study, we propose an integrated workflow/scheme capable of dealing with small dataset modeling that integrates dataset curation, "exhaustive" double cross-validation and a set of optimal model selection techniques including consensus predictions. We have developed two software tools, namely, Small Dataset Curator, version 1.0.0, and Small Dataset Modeler, version 1.0.0, to effortlessly execute the proposed workflow. These tools are freely available for download from https://dtclab.webs.com/software-tools . We have performed case studies employing seven diverse datasets to demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme (including data curation) for small dataset QSAR modeling. The case studies also confirm the usability and stability of the developed software tools.

Alignment of Synchronized Time-Series Data Using the Characterizing Loss of Cell Cycle Synchrony Model for Cross-Experiment Comparisons

One challenge of analyzing synchronized time-series experiments is that the experiments often differ in the length of recovery from synchrony and the cell-cycle period. Thus, the measurements from different experiments cannot be analyzed in aggregate or readily compared. Here, we describe a method for aligning experiments to allow for phase-specific...

Scaled Anatomical Model Creation of Biomedical Tomographic Imaging Data and Associated Labels for Subsequent Sub-surface Laser Engraving (SSLE) of Glass Crystals

A methodology is described herein for representing anatomical imaging data within crystals. We create scaled three-dimensional models of biomedical imaging data for use in Sub-Surface Laser Engraving (SSLE) of crystal glass. This tool offers a useful complement to computational display or three-dimensionally printed models used within clinical or educational settings.
