Bayesian Expectation-Maximization-Maximization: a latent-mixture-modeling-based Bayesian algorithm for the three-parameter logistic model
… Expectation-Maximization-Maximization (Bayesian EMM, or BEMM), which is an alternative feasible Bayesian algorithm for the three-parameter logistic model (3PLM). The Bayesian EMM takes full advantage of both the EMM and the Bayesian approach. The BEMM not only successfully solves the issue of …

A Translational Study Evaluating the Uses of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Practices Established in Human Malignant Melanoma in Equine Malignant Melanoma
… melanoma (HMM) and equine malignant melanoma (EMM). This work investigates similarities and differences of EMM and HMM through comparative protein expression using immunohistochemical staining. Nestin, Pax-3/7, B-Raf, and SOX-10 are commonly expressed in HMM tissues. Expression of these …

Shared Memory Abstractions for Heterogeneous Multicore Processors
… processors with Explicitly Managed Memory (EMM) hierarchies are one such experimental design which has the potential for high performance, but at the cost of great programmer effort. EMM processors have cores that are divorced from the normal memory hierarchy, thus the onus is on the …

AFROStrep (SA): a surveillance system for group A streptococcal infection in South Africa
… and non-invasive infection was determined using emm type sequencing to provide insight into vaccine development (Study 3). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The pooled prevalence of GAS pharyngitis in Africa was determined to be 21% (95% CI, 17% to 26%). The incidence rates of laboratory-confirmed …

Towards Rheumatic Heart Disease vaccine development: Defining host immune responses to Group A Streptococcal infection in Cape Town
… is, however, challenged by the sheer volume of emm types (>230). This, along with the fact that significant emm types change over time, results in many gaps in protective efficacy. This body of work sought to contribute much-needed evidence in the quest for GAS vaccine development. This thesis …
