Diagramme mit ggplot2
2020
Mit dem Zusatzpaket ggplot2 lassen sich die in Kap. 14 vorgestellten Diagrammtypen ebenfalls erstellen. Dabei ist die Herangehensweise eine grundsatzlich andere: Wahrend der Basisumfang von R fur verschiedene Diagrammarten einzelne Funktionen bereitstellt, werden mit ggplot2 alle Diagrammtypen mit einem einheitlichen System erzeugt. Sind Diagramme des Basisumfangs analog zu einer Leinwand, auf der jede Funktion spater nicht mehr anderbare Elemente aufmalt, reprasentiert ggplot2 alle Diagrammelemente explizit in einem Objekt. Erstellte Diagramme lassen sich uber dieses Objekt weiter verandern, an Funktionen ubergeben und speichern.
Graph Rewriting Based Search for Molecular Structures: Definitions, Algorithms, Hardness
2018
We define a graph rewriting system that is easily understandable by humans, but rich enough to allow very general queries to molecule databases. It is based on the substitution of a single node in a node- and edge-labeled graph by an arbitrary graph, explicitly assigning new endpoints to the edges incident to the replaced node. For these graph rewriting systems, we are interested in the subgraph-matching problem. We show that the problem is NP-complete, even on graphs that are stars. As a positive result, we give an algorithm which is polynomial if both rules and query graph have bounded degree and bounded cut size. We demonstrate that molecular graphs of practically relevant molecules in d…
A time-varying observer for linear systems with asynchronous discrete-time measurements
2017
International audience; In this paper we propose a time-varying observer for a linear continuous-time plant with asynchronous discrete-time measurements. The proposed observer is contextualized in the hybrid systems framework providing an elegant setting for the proposed solution. In particular some theoretical tools are provided, in terms of LMIs, certifying asymptotic stability of a certain compact set where the estimation error is zero. Moreover the case of asynchronous measurements is considered, i.e. when the measurements are not provided in well defined time instants, but they occur at an arbitrary time in a certain time interval. A design procedure based on the numerical solution of …

Visualization of Simulated Arrhythmias due to Gap Junctions
2018
New computational models are able to simulate details of cardiac cell networks. Their results allow a better understanding of the functionality of the heart and suggest possible actions to reduce non-fatal premature beats that can give rise to serious diseases. We developed a user-friendly interface to organize Neuron simulations and to present in real-time a three-dimensional representation of the electrical activity due to the gap junctions which interconnect the cells inside cardiac tissues. All physiological parameters were set according to real experimental observations and compared against different types of arrhythmias, retrieved from the Physionet Data Base.

Multiplicative decomposition of the scaling effect in the Mixed Assessor Model into a descriptor-specific and an overall coefficients
2016
Abstract In 1994, Brockhoff and Skovgaard presented the so-called assessor model, including a “scaling coefficient” expressing the predisposition of a panelist to spread more or less his scores than the panel on a given sensory descriptor. This paper discusses potential scaling causes, and then proposes a decomposition of the scaling coefficient into two components: (i) an overall scaling coefficient, independent of the descriptors, expressing a psychological trend of the panelist towards the scoring task in general; (ii) a corrected scaling coefficient for each descriptor, expressing specific sensitivity of the panelist to the descriptor. Applied to 187 sensory datasets, this decomposition…
Reference interval of monocyte distribution width (MDW) in healthy blood donors.
2020
Abstract Background The aim of the study was to accurately establish the reference interval (RI) of monocyte distribution width (MDW) in healthy blood donors by the direct method using different statistical approaches. Methods MDW was measured in 486 subjects. RI of MDW was calculated by the non-parametric method, the robust method and, the Harrell-Davis bootstrap method and using different tests to identify potential outliers (Dixon-Reed and Tukey). Results Lower and upper reference limits of the RI calculated by the non-parametric method were, 16.22 (90%CI 15.78–16.47) – 23.15 (90%CI 22.80–24.10) (without outlier removal), and 16.44 (90%CI 16.21–16.67) – 22.99 (90%CI 22.33–23.22) (after o…
Heterogeneous Indicators of Cognitive Performance and Performance Variability Across the Lifespan
2020
Reaction time (RT) and RT variability are core components of cognitive performance that can be captured through brief and easy-to-administer tasks of simple RT and choice RT. The current study aims to describe age-related differences in cognitive performance, toward better characterizing normative performance across the lifespan. We examined mean and variability of response times on a simple RT and choice RT tasks in a large and diverse web-based sample (10,060 visitors to TestMyBrain.org). We also examined lifespan-related differences in response time variability using multiple different approaches (raw variability, mean scaled variability, and mean residualized variability). These analyse…
