  • Publication number: 20210020313
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to generating interactive graphical visualisations of clinical and data. A processor calculates phenotype-to-phenotype similarity value indicative of a similarity between observed phenotypes and each phenotype in a set of stored phenotypes based on an ontology of phenotypes. The processor then determines an assignment of stored phenotypes to observed phenotypes based on the similarity values and further aggregates the similarity values into a set-to-set similarity value indicative of a similarity between the observed phenotypes and the set of stored phenotypes. The processor then repeats these steps to calculate a set-to-set similarity measure for each of the multiple sets. Finally, the processor selects one or more of the multiple sets based on the set-to-set similarity value and generates a graphical user interface comprising a graphical indication of the selected one or more of the multiple sets in relation to the multiple observed phenotypes.

The dust repellant and anti-reflective inorganic coating includes nano-porous silica (SiO2) network of about 5 nm to about 35 nm and is characterized by cracks. The method of preparing the dust repellant and anti-reflective inorganic coating on a substrate includes mixing of aqueous SiO2 solution with a solvent. The aqueous SiO2 solution with the solvent is stirred to form a solution. The solution is coated on the substrate to form a film on the surface of the substrate. Thereafter, the film is annealed by heating the film to a temperature of about 500° C. to about 700° C. within a period of about 2 minutes to about 2 hours. Finally, the film is allowed to cool down.
