A Multiscale Wavelet Data Treatment for Reliable Localization of Inflection Points for Analytical Purposes

Instrumental analysis techniques that employ measurements based on inflection points may have their accuracy compromised due to the need for signal differentiation, which is very sensitive to instrumental noise. This paper presents a strategy for localizing inflection points that exploits the multiscale processing capability of the Wavelet Transform and avoids the need for explicit signal diffe...

Proteomic Solutions for Analytical Challenges Associated With Alcohol Research

Alcohol addiction is a complex disease with both hereditary and environmental influences. Because molecular determinants contributing to this phenotype are difficult to study in humans, numerous rodent models and conditioning paradigms have provided powerful tools to study the molecular complexities underlying these behavioral phenotypes. In particular, specifically bred rodents (i.e., selected...

Can we identify genes for alcohol consumption in samples ascertained for heterogeneous purposes?

BACKGROUND Previous studies have identified evidence of genetic influence on alcohol use in samples selected to be informative for alcoholism research. However, there are a growing number of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using samples unselected for alcohol consumption (i.e., selected on other traits and forms of psychopathology), which nevertheless assess consumption as a risk factor....
