Imputation of Assay Bioactivity Data Using Deep Learning.
We describe a novel deep learning neural network method and its application to impute assay pIC50 values. Unlike conventional machine learning approaches, this method is trained on sparse bioactivity data as input, typical of...

Functional movements of the GABA type A receptor.
We have performed a parallel tempering crankshaft motion Monte Carlo simulation on a model of the GABA type A receptor with the aim of exploring a wide variety of local conformational space. We develop a novel method to analyse...
Prediction of GABARAP interaction with the GABA type A receptor.
We have performed docking simulations on GABARAP interacting with the GABA type A receptor using SwarmDock. We have also used a novel method to study hydration sites on the surface of these two proteins; this method identifies...
Genetically raised serum bilirubin levels and lung cancer
Background: Moderately raised serum bilirubin levels are associated with lower rates of lung cancer, particularly among smokers. It is not known whether these relationships reflect antioxidant properties or residual confounding....
Eight Weeks of Self-Resisted Neck Strength Training Improves Neck Strength in Age-Grade Rugby Union Players
BACKGROUND: Greater neck strength is associated with fewer head and neck injuries. Neck-strengthening programs are commonly burdensome, requiring specialist equipment or significant time commitment, which are barriers to...

Constraints on the Spindown of Fully Convective M Dwarfs Using Wide Field Binaries
Abstract
M dwarfs remain active over longer timescales than their Sunlike counterparts, with potentially devastating implications for the atmospheres of their planets. However, the...
A biomechanical approach to evaluate overload and specificity characteristics within physical preparation exercises
An essential component of any physical preparation programme is the selection of training exercises to facilitate desired performance outcomes, with practitioners balancing the principles of sports training to inform exercise...
Estimating Atomic Contributions to Hydration and Binding Using Free Energy Perturbation.
We present a general method called atom-wise free energy perturbation (AFEP), which extends a conventional molecular dynamics free energy perturbation (FEP) simulation to give the contribution to a free energy change from each...

Contributions of the non-kicking-side arm to rugby place-kicking technique
To investigate non-kicking-side arm motion during rugby place kicking, five experienced male kickers performed trials under two conditions, both with an accuracy requirement but one with an additional maximal distance demand....

Joint kinetic determinants of starting block performance in athletic sprinting
The aim of this study was to explore the relationships between lower limb joint kinetics, external force production and starting block performance (normalised average horizontal power, NAHP). Seventeen male sprinters (100 m PB...
A biomechanical comparison of initial sprint acceleration performance and technique in an elite athlete with cerebral palsy and able-bodied sprinters
Ian N. Bezodis, James Cowburn, Adam Brazil, Rhian Richardson, Cassie Wilson, Timothy A. Exell, Gareth Irwin
Jan 01, 0001
Cerebral palsy is known to generally limit range of motion and force producing capability during movement. It also limits sprint performance, but the exact mechanisms underpinning this are not well known. One elite male T36...
Imputation versus prediction
Imputation is a powerful statistical method that is distinct from the predictive modelling techniques more commonly used in drug discovery. Imputation uses sparse experimental data in an incomplete dataset to predict...
