Case Studies
Heart arrhythmia and QT interval corrections
Assessing the risk of a drug candidate inducing arrhythmia is a vital step in the drug development process. Due to the difficulty of directly assessing these potential arrhythmias, researchers rely on QT interval prolongation as a biomarker for arrhythmia risk. The results showed that the corrected QT values can have reduced variability and heart rate influence when correction methods consider additional variables, such as subject specific, date specific, or environment specific differences.

Owl behavioral categories
Owl vocalization known to express contentment, contact, begging, hostility, defensiveness or avoidance behavior were classified based on ow and acoustic characteristics.
Performance Accuracy of Continuum Solvent Models to Compute Solvation Enthalpies
First principles DFT calculations were conducted to assess performance accuracies of Polarizable Continuum Models' (PCMs). The goal was to assess the effectiveness of these implicit models in predicting experimental Heat of Vaporization for a wide range of organic solvents. To evaluate and compare the continuum models', general linear regression models and performance score methods were implemented.
Sports analytics: quantile foliation to rank athletes
Quantile foliation is a new statistical method that we can be used to standardize weightlifting performances by age and body weight.
