Previous studies have revealed that the characteristics of high frequency bands of Electroencephalogram (EEG) have shown good performance in emotion recognition. However, there is a lack of clear and unified conclusions about which brain regions to select for feature extraction. In this study, pleasant, neutral, unpleasant and scrambled pictures selected from International Affective Picture System (IAPS) were presented to subjects. In order to improve the spatial resolution, source estimation algorithm was used to reconstruct the cortical response in the processing of affective pictures. Oscillation activities of different frequency bands in the key brain regions were studied in cerebral cortex. The results showed that the activation of the brain was the weakest under scrambled condition. Referring to neutral condition, the energy of Alpha, Beta and Gamma bands under pleasant condition increased significantly in the bilateral middle temporal gyrus, middle frontal gyrus and prefrontal gyrus, while the energy of Alpha and Beta bands under unpleasant condition decreased significantly in the left middle occipital gyrus and bilateral middle temporal gyrus. These results provide a scientific basis for the selection of electrodes and frequency bands in emotion recognition based on EEG signals.","PeriodicalId":178168,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 9th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ICBCB)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125181147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: The GEO2R online tool was employed to analyze the gene expression profiles of ovarian cancer. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis was utilized to annotate differentially expressed genes (DEGs). STRING database was employed to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network with the DEGs. The PPI network interaction information was then visualized using Cytoscape software and ovarian cancer hub genes were identified based on Maximal Clique Centrality (MCC) algorithm. The identified hub genes were then analyzed with Kaplan Meier plotter to check their role on survival time of ovarian cancer patients. Results: Differentially expressed analysis resulted in 332 DEGs, of which 340 were down-regulated and 92 were up-regulated. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis indicated that the DEGs were significantly enriched in some tumor-associated biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components. Kyoto Encyclopedia Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis resulted in 5 cancer related pathways. A total of 10 hub genes were identified based on the topological analysis of PPI network. Survival analysis showed 7 of the hub genes were associated with significantly decreased survival time of the ovarian cancer patients (P<0.05). Conclusion: Our study resulted in identification of 7 hub genes contributing to the development of ovarian cancer. These hub genes may be potentially therapeutic target genes for treatment of ovarian cancer.","PeriodicalId":178168,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 9th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ICBCB)","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130430177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subjective and objective evaluation methods were used for image quality analysis, while variance analysis and Spearman correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results: The subjective scores of all 13 segments in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the differences in 6 segments were statistically significant (P<0.05). CNR values in 3 segments in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (P< 0.05). In the observation group, the correlation between the evaluation data and heart rate was weak (0<r<0.3), while the correlation in the control group was significantly negative (- 0.8<r<-0.3). Conclusions: The image quality in the absolute time-phase scanning mode is better than that in the relative time-phase and is not affected by the heart rate. Therefore, the absolute time-phase scanning mode has a good application value in the CCTA for patients with arrhythmia.","PeriodicalId":178168,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 9th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ICBCB)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133174463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though meta-heuristic harmony search algorithm has been used for feature selection, it suffers from entrapment in local optima and low convergence speed. To this end, we propose a hybrid chaotic harmony search based multi-objective feature selection method, which uses the chaotic map to replace the parameter of harmony search during the optimization process. Specifically, the minimum redundancy maximum relevancy feature selector is first used to pre-select a subset of relevant features. Then, the chaotic harmony search is employed on the reduced feature set to find an optimal feature subset, where the fitness of a candidate solution is evaluated by a multi-objective formulation. Finally, extensive comparative experiments against its competitors, including six filter and four wrapper feature selection methods, are conducted on six public microarray datasets. Results show that the proposed method obtains higher classification accuracy. Besides, the convergence analysis indicates its efficiency.","PeriodicalId":178168,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 9th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ICBCB)","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124631322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various measures were applied to develop the models of human mobility and contact in a long range or a short range, such as Brown movement, random walks, spatial networks, gravity models, contact networks. We proposed a method of representing human daily movement and social contact by using multi-layer networks with temporal edge weights. We combined bipartite networks with social networks to describe human daily trip and social contact, respectively. Temporal edge weights of multi-layer networks were employed to denote the propensity of individual movement and contact. We also verified our models and parameters by incorporating human daily travel and contact regularities, as well as comparing experimental results with human behavior statistical laws. At last, we applied a Chinese university campus as a case study to investigate students' daily travel and social contact, and studied the transmission and control strategies of COVID-19 virus. We found stricter control strategies are needed to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19 virus in a university. Once a patient case emerges in a university, it is better to close the campus and quarantine all students. Partial control strategies such as quarantining a part of students and buildings cannot achieve a great effect of mitigating the transmission of COVID-19 virus. Our works are beneficial for the practitioners in the field of computational epidemiology.","PeriodicalId":178168,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE 9th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ICBCB)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123659852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, classic prediction models such as TargetFinder provide little valuable insight towards the large disparity between important genomic features across different cell lines. To comprehensively approach this question, herein we first evaluated seven classifiers to predict EP interactions using high-resolution Hi-C maps of genome loci across six classic cell lines, surpassing TargetFinder in all benchmark metrics. We then evaluated the model's predictive performance with features provided by seven feature selection methods from the embedded, wrapper and filter categories. Moreover, groups of features were aggregated from the results of two or more feature methods and analyzed based on the model's performance. Finally, we examined the distinguishing features across six cell lines.

The proposed method is applied to the time series of three dimensional DIC data of nuclear division process during two-cell stage of C. elegans.
