iPSC modeling of severe aplastic anemia reveals impaired differentiation and telomere shortening in blood progenitors (2018)
Journal Article

Aplastic Anemia (AA) is a bone marrow failure (BMF) disorder, resulting in bone marrow hypocellularity and peripheral pancytopenia. Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a subset of AA defined by a more severe phenotype. Although the immunological nature o...

Validation of Three Postoperative Risk Prediction Models for Intensive Care Unit Mortality after Cardiac Surgery (2018)
Journal Article

Background: Several cardiac surgery risk prediction models based on postoperative data have been developed. However, unlike preoperative cardiac surgery risk prediction models, postoperative models are rarely externally validated or utilized by clini...

Assessing the Potential Impact of Grid-Scale Variable Renewable Energy on the Reliability of Electricity Supply in Kenya (2017)
Journal Article

Securing a sufficient supply of reliable and affordable electricity is a major challenge for countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), due to low current access levels, and rapid population and economic growth. This article will review application and t... Read More about Assessing the Potential Impact of Grid-Scale Variable Renewable Energy on the Reliability of Electricity Supply in Kenya.

A simplified model to estimate thermal resistance between carbon nanotube and sample in scanning thermal microscopy (2017)
Journal Article

Scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) is an attractive technique for nanoscale thermal measurements. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) can be used to enhance a SThM probe in order to drastically increase spatial resolution while keeping required ther...

An iPSC Patient Specific Model of CFH (Y402H) Polymorphism Displays Characteristic Features of AMD and Indicates a Beneficial Role for UV Light Exposure (2017)
Journal Article

Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of blindness, accounting for 8.7% of all blindness globally. Vision loss is caused ultimately by apoptosis of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and overlying photoreceptors. Treatment...

Connecting Targets to Tweets: Semantic Attention-based Model for Target-Specific stance Detection (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Understanding what people say and really mean in tweets is still a wide open research question. In particular, understanding the stance of a tweet, which is determined not only by its content, but also by the given target, is a very recent research a...

Enstrophy transport conditional on local flow topologies in different regimes of premixed turbulent combustion (2017)
Journal Article

Enstrophy is an intrinsic feature of turbulent flows, and its transport properties are essential for the understanding of premixed flame-turbulence interaction. The interrelation between the enstrophy transport and flow topologies, which can be assig...
