The epidemiology and genetics of smoking initiation and persistence: crosscultural comparisons of twin study results.
We examined whether there are crosscultural differences in the magnitude of genetic and environmental contributions to risk of becoming a regular smoker and of persistence in smoking in men and women. Standard methods of epidemiologic and genetic analysis were applied to questionnaire data on history of cigarette use obtained from large samples of male and female like-sex twins from three diffe...
متن کاملOn Assessing Robustness in Transportation Planning
We consider a fundamental problem, called QoS-aware Multicommodity Flow, for assessing robustness in transportation planning. It constitutes a natural generalization of the weighted multicommodity ow problem, where the demands and commodity values are elastic to the Quality-of-Service (QoS) characteristics of the underlying network. The problem is also fundamental in other domains beyond transp...
متن کاملClustering Wisconsin Counties for Analytical Comparisons
Executive Summary This applied research effort intends to provide a rigorous empirical foundation upon which to base groupings, or clusters, of Wisconsin counties for analytical comparisons. We ask a simple question in this paper: which regions (counties) in Wisconsin are homogeneous (hence comparable) given a set of economic and demographic variables? Using the statistical techniques of princi...
متن کاملD-dimer assays – pitfalls of analytical comparisons
When a new D-dimer method is evaluated it is typically compared to an established D-dimer method. Usually both an analytical and a clinical comparison are made. The range of clinical specificities between D-dimer assays is wide (from 30 % to above 90 %), which is due to heterogeneity between D-dimer molecules and difference between antibody specificity towards them, especially concerning the pr...
متن کاملCrosscultural Effects in Audio-visual Interactions
In this study, the evaluation of audio-visual interaction regarding to the sounds and colours of trains was investigated. Different pictures of trains were modified in their colors and presented on a liquid crystal screen in a sound proof room with the appropriate sound of the train. The subjects judged the loudness of the sound-picture stimuli with the method “free magnitude estimation”. At fi...
