Appropriate Processing Time: Valuing Process over Product

Real-Time PCR: an Appropriate Approach to Confi rm ssDNA Generation from PCR Product in SELEX Process

Background: Aptamers are single stranded DNA (ssDNA) or RNA molecules. The potential of aptamers for binding to the different targets has made them be widely used as the preferred diagnostic and therapeutic tools. DNA aptamers present several advantages over the RNA oligonucleotides due to their higher stability, easier selection, and production. Selection of DNA aptamers which...

Valuing Time Over Money Is Associated With Greater Happiness

How do the trade-offs that we make about two of our most valuable resources—time and money—shape happiness? While past research has documented the immediate consequences of thinking about time and money, research has not yet examined whether people’s general orientations to prioritize time over money are associated with greater happiness. In the current research, we develop the Resource Orienta...

Valuing IT through Virtual Process Measurement ICIS

The so called productivity paradox associated with information technology re mains the focus of active research in information systems One explanation involves the dearth of useful measures to assess the value of IT investments A review of the predominant approaches to such measurement reveals a number of serious weaknesses and fundamental limitations The research described in this paper addres...

Bayesian perspective over time

Thomas Bayes, the founder of Bayesian vision, entered the University of Edinburgh in 1719 to study logic and theology. Returning in 1722, he worked with his father in a small church. He also was a mathematician and in 1740 he made a novel discovery which he never published, but his friend Richard Price found it in his notes after his death in 1761, reedited it and published it. But until L...
