Identifying time patterns in Huntington’s disease trajectories using dynamic time warping-based clustering on multi-modal data by Alexia Giannoula, Audrey E. De Paepe, Ferran Sanz, Laura I. Furlong, Estela Camara

“…However, extracting meaningful information from Real-World Data, such as Electronic Health Records, still remains challenging due to methodological and computational issues. A Dynamic Time Warping-based unsupervised-clustering methodology is presented in this paper for the clustering of patient trajectories of multi-modal health data on the basis of shared temporal characteristics. …”

Improved Strategy of Two-Node Curved Beam Element Based on the Same Beam’s Nodes Information by Yuquan Wang

“…The common practice in the current literature employs two-node straight beam elements as the elementary members for stress and displacement analysis, which needs a large number of divisions to fit the curved beam shape well and increases computational time greatly. In this paper, we develop an improved accurate two-node curved beam element (IC2) in 3D problems, combining the curved Timoshenko beam theory and the curvature information calculated from the same beam curve. …”

Redefining NSP12 activity in SARS-CoV-2 and its regulation by NSP8 and NSP7 by Deepa Singh, Tushar Kushwaha, Rajkumar Kulandaisamy, Vikas Kumar, Kamal Baswal, Saras H. Tiwari, Arkadyuti Ghorai, Manoj Kumar, Saroj Kumar, Soumya De, Aparoy Polamarasetty, Deepak Sehgal, Madhumohan R. Katika, Suresh Gadde, Marceline Côté, Sarala R. Kayampeta, Mohan Babu Appaiahgari, Krishna K. Inampudi

“…The presence of only one cofactor, either NSP7 or NSP8, completely inhibited NSP12 activity and led to RNA template detachment. Computational analyses of different NSP12 complexes suggested that binding of NSP7 or NSP8 alone to NSP12 constricts the RNA entry channel, which was higher in the presence of NSP8, making it inappropriate for RNA entry/binding. …”
