• #### Anxiety and depressive symptoms are related to core symptoms, general helath outcome and medical comorbidities in eating disorders ﻿

(European Eating Disorders Review, 2019-04)
Objective: The goal of this study is to identify potential factors that have a significant effect on anxiety and depression of patients with eating disorders (ED) using the beta-binomial regression (BBR) approach on a broad ...
• #### On the evaluation and selection of classifier learning algorithms with crowdsourced data ﻿

(Applied Soft Computing, 2019-02-16)
In many current problems, the actual class of the instances, the ground truth, is unavail- able. Instead, with the intention of learning a model, the labels can be crowdsourced by harvesting them from different annotators. ...
• #### Forward-in-Time Goal-Oriented Adaptivity ﻿

(International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 2019-03)
In goal-oriented adaptive algorithms for partial differential equations, we adapt the finite element mesh in order to reduce the error of the solution in some quantity of interest. In time-dependent problems, this adaptive ...
• #### On extension problem, trace hardy and Hardy’s inequalities for some fractional Laplacians ﻿

(Communications on pure and applied analysis, 2019-09)
We obtain generalised trace Hardy inequalities for fractional powers of general operators given by sums of squares of vector fields. Such inequalities are derived by means of particular solutions of an extended equation ...
• #### COPD classification models and mortality prediction capacity ﻿

(International Journal of COPD, 2019)
Our aim was to assess the impact of comorbidities on existing COPD prognosis scores. Patients and methods: A total of 543 patients with COPD (FEV1 < 80% and FEV1/ FVC <70%) were included between January 2003 and January ...
• #### Predictors of one and two years’ mortality in patients with colon cancer: a prospective cohort study ﻿

(Plos One, 2018)
Tools to aid in the prognosis assessment of colon cancer patients in terms of risk of mortality are needed. Goals of this study are to develop and validate clinical prediction rules for 1-and 2-year mortality in these ...
• #### On Lipschitz rigidity of complex analytic sets ﻿

(The Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2019-02-26)
We prove that any complex analytic set in $\mathbb{C}^n$ which is Lipschitz normally embedded at infinity and has tangent cone at infinity that is a linear subspace of $\mathbb{C}^n$ must be an affine linear subspace of ...
• #### K-means for massive data ﻿

(2019-04-30)
The $K$-means algorithm is undoubtedly one of the most popular clustering analysis techniques, due to its easiness in the implementation, straightforward parallelizability and competitive computational complexity, when ...
• #### Accessibility for Line-Cutting in Freeform Surfaces ﻿

(Computer-Aided Design, 2019-04-26)
Manufacturing techniques such as hot-wire cutting, wire-EDM, wire-saw cutting, and flank CNC machining all belong to a class of processes called line-cutting where the cutting tool moves tangentially along the reference ...
• #### Early classification of time series using multi-objective optimization techniques ﻿

(Information Sciences, 2019-04-23)
In early classification of time series the objective is to build models which are able to make class-predictions for time series as accurately and as early as possible, when only a part of the series is available. It is ...
• #### Tissue drives lesion: computational evidence of interspecies variability in cardiac radiofrequency ablation ﻿

(HE 10TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FUNCTIONAL IMAGING AND MODELING OF THE HEART, 2019)
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) is widely used for the treatment of various types of cardiac arrhythmias. Typically, the efficacy and the safety of the ablation protocols used in the clinics are derived from tests ...
• #### Bloom type upper bounds in the product BMO setting ﻿

(Journal of Geometric Analysis, 2019-04-08)
We prove some Bloom type estimates in the product BMO setting. More specifically, for a bounded singular integral $T_n$ in $\mathbb R^n$ and a bounded singular integral $T_m$ in $\mathbb R^m$ we prove that  \| [T_n^1, ...
• #### Convex Integration Arising in the Modelling of Shape-Memory Alloys: Some Remarks on Rigidity, Flexibility and Some Numerical Implementations ﻿

(Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2019-03-30)
We study convex integration solutions in the context of the modelling of shape-memory alloys. The purpose of the article is twofold, treating both rigidity and flexibility prop- erties: Firstly, we relate the maximal ...
• #### Adjoint-based formulation for computing derivatives with respect to bed boundary positions in resistivity geophysics ﻿

(Computational Geosciences, 2019-02)
In inverse geophysical resistivity problems, it is common to optimize for specific resistivity values and bed boundary positions, as needed, for example, in geosteering applications. When using gradient-based inversion ...
• #### Topological singular set of vector-valued maps, I: application to manifold-constrained Sobolev and BV spaces ﻿

(Calculus of Variations and Partial Differential Equations, 2019-03-30)
We introduce an operator $\mathbf{S}$ on vector-valued maps $u$ which has the ability to capture the relevant topological information carried by $u$. In particular, this operator is defined on maps that take values in a ...
