EBV BART MicroRNAs Target Pro-apoptotic and Anti-Wnt Signaling Genes to Promote Cell Survival and Proliferation
… a cluster of viral microRNAs (miRNAs) called miR-BARTs is highly expressed. MiRNAs are small non-coding RNAs which regulate gene expression by binding to complementary sequences in mRNAs. It is likely that miR-BARTs play a crucial role in EBV-infected epithelial cells, however a comprehensive …

Essays on Tree-based Methods for Prediction and Causal Inference
… algorithms. Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) (Chipman et al. 2010) and Bayesian Causal Forests (BCF) (Hahn et al. 2020) are state-of-the-art machine learning methods for prediction and causal inference. A number of existing implementations of BART make use of Markov Chain Monte Carlo …

Microplate Immunocapture Coupled with LAMP-BART and Selective Plating for the Rapid Detection of <em>Salmonella</em> Infantis in Dry Dog Food and Treats
… with bioluminescent assay in real time (LAMP-BART) and selective plating on XLD. Dog food and pig ear treats were inoculated with <em>Salmonella </em>Infantis at concentrations of 100-104 CFU/25 g, followed by a 3-h enrichment, then microplate IC and LAMP-BART or microplate IC and selective …

Extensions and Applications of Ensemble-of-trees Methods in Machine Learning
… such as Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) and Dynamic Trees (DT) focus on an underlying Bayesian probability model to generate the fits. These new probability model-based approaches show much promise versus their algorithmic counterparts, but also offer substantial room for …

Quantitative anatomical characteristics of plantation grown loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) and cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bart. ex Marsh) and their relationships to mechanical properties
… taeda L.) and cottonwood (Populus deltoides Barto ex. Marsh.), both from intensively managed woodlands, were quantitatively characterized using the principles of stereology. Physical and mechanical properties were also determined for each growth increment of six sample trees of both species. …

French Caribbean Women and the Problem of Empowerment: A look at Moi, Tituba, sorcière...Noire de Salem and Pluie et vent sur Télumée Miracle
… authors, Maryse Condé and Simone Schwarz- Bart, use fiction to convey the plight of women in the French Caribbean. They successfully create characters who refuse marginalization imposed by their patriarchal and oppressive societies. Condé’s novel, set in the 17th century first in Barbados, …

Le marron dans les oeuvres de Simone Schwarz-Bart, d'Édouard Glissant et de Patrick Chamoiseau. Figurations américaines postcoloniales dans la littérature antillaise contemporaine
"Cette étude a pour but de montrer comment la littérature antillaise s'est détachée vers le milieu du XXe siècle de l'univers référentiel européen pour s'ancrer davantage dans celui plus proche, à la fois géographiquement et culturellement, de l'Amérique. Les modalités de passage sont …

Characterizing Exoplanet Atmospheres: From Light-curve Observations to Radiative-Transfer Modeling
… Bayesian Atmospheric Radiative Transfer (BART) code to characterize exoplanet atmospheres. BART combines a thermochemical-equilibrium code, a one-dimensional line-by-line radiative-transfer code, and the Multi-core Markov-chain Monte Carlo statistical module to constrains the atmospheric …

Design and development of an LLM-based framework for crime classification and prediction
… based on the transformative potential of the BART, BERT, and GPT models in this domain using methods such as zero-shot prompting, few-shot prompting, and fine-tuning. As a prototype, these methods were used to comprehensively assess the performance of LLMs in crime classification and …

Utilising the grid for augmented reality
… Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), named BART (Bangor Augmented Reality for TMS). Three prototypes of BART are presented, along with a discussion of the subsequent limitations and solutions of each. First by using a proprietary tracking system it is possible to achieve accurate tracking, …

The use of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to explore how risk characteristics influence athletic pacing.
… insight into risk related pacing behaviours (BART and DOSPERT as measures of risk behaviour and attitude, and tDCS as a risk modulation technique). The experimental chapter introduces the BART risk behaviour measure along with an already established measure of risk attitude in pacing research …

CD4+ T cell recognition of Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen (EBNA) - 1 in the Chinese population
… responses (CD8+ and CD4+) against the predicted BART products and BARF1 protein. The BART and BARF1 transcripts are expressed in NPC tumour cells, but their expression as proteins have never been identified until Kienzle et al (1998) reported the finding of CD8+ T cell response to one of the …

Hypomania and the Effects of Working Memory Load on Risk-Taking
… asked to complete the Balloon Analog Risk Task (BART), a computerized behavioral risk-taking measure, while experiencing various levels of working memory taxation. Number of balloon pumps and reaction time were recorded by the BART and used as measures of risk-taking. An analysis of the data …

Risk taking in bipolar disorder
… measured using the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (BART; Lejuez et al, 2002), a computerised task that has been found to correlate with real world risky behaviours. After baseline measures, participants were randomly assigned positive or negative mood induction and completed two sets of BART trials, …
