Mobility Intentions of Foreign Researchers: The Role of Non-economic Motivations

Stefano Horst Baruffaldi

Recent contributions suggest that non-economic factors could be important motivational drivers of scientific mobility. We investigate this hypothesis in a sample of foreign researchers in Italy and Portugal, examining their willingness to leave the host co ...

Towards the Identification of Disease Signatures

Anastasia Ailamaki, Thomas Heinis, Manolis Karpathiotakis

The identification of biological signatures of diseases will enable the development of new biologically grounded classifications of brain diseases, leading to a new systematic understanding of their causes, and new diagnostic tools. In this paper we presen ...

A Theoretical Analysis of the Geography of Schistosomiasis in Burkina Faso Highlights the Roles of Human Mobility and Water Resources Development in Disease Transmission

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Natalie Claire Ceperley, Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Theophile Mande, Jean-Marc Fröhlich

We study the geography of schistosomiasis across Burkina Faso by means of a spatially explicit model of water-based disease dynamics. The model quantitatively addresses the geographic stratification of disease burden in a novel framework by explicitly acco ...

Estimation of Blood Pressure and Pulse Transit Time Using Your Smartphone

David Atienza Alonso, Srinivasan Murali, Francisco Javier Rincon Vallejos, Alair Dias Junior

It is widely recognized today that there is an alarming rise of lifestyle-induced chronic diseases (e.g., type II diabetes) in our society. Therefore, a strong need exists for cost-effective and non-invasive devices that can measure blood pressure (BP) to ...

Metabolic Disturbances in Diseases with Neurological Involvement

Degeneration of specific neuronal populations and progressive nervous system dysfunction characterize neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. These findings are also reported in inherited diseases such as phenylke ...

Classification of daily-life postural transitions using trunk-worn wearable barometric pressure sensor

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Fabien Massé, Alan Kevin Bourke

Distinguishing sedentary from dynamic behavior is essential in addressing disease conditions that are influenced by mobility. Event-based activity recognition algorithms essentially rely on accurate classification of siting and standing postural transition ...

Structural connectomics in brain diseases

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Patric Hagmann, Alessandra Griffa, Philipp Baumann

Imaging the connectome in vivo has become feasible through the integration of several rapidly developing fields of science and engineering, namely magnetic resonance imaging and in particular diffusion MRI on one side, image processing and network theory o ...
