Admixture is of great relevance to the clinical application of pharmacogenetics and personalized medicine. Preliminary findings in Puerto Ricans further substantiate the argument for admixture as a critical covariate in a customized DNA-guided warfarin dosing algorithm. To this purpose, a genome-wide approach that incorporates admixture as an independent predictor of dose variability in DNA-gui...

This article reviews recent developments in Bayesian algorithms that explicitly include geographical information in the inference of population structure. Current models substantially differ in their prior distributions and background assumptions, falling into two broad categories: models with or without admixture. To aid users of this new generation of spatially explicit programs, we clarify t...

Abstract Surface-active polymer is a novel multifunctional active applied for enhancing oil recovery which has both viscosity-increasing ability and surface activity. Experiments were carried out to indicate basic physicochemical properties of surface-active study on differences between other chemical flooding agents, characteristics increasing displacement efficiency by have been tested. Exper...

For samples of admixed individuals, it is possible to test for both ancestry effects via admixture mapping and genotype effects via association mapping. Here, we describe a joint test called BMIX that combines admixture and association statistics at single markers. We first perform high-density admixture mapping using local ancestry. We then perform association mapping using stratified regressi...

Abstract This study is aimed at evaluating the strength of stabilised soil collected from Port Norvik, Stockholm, Sweden, where 350,000 m3 clay had to be stabilized. The tests were performed in laboratory Swedish Geotechnical Institute (SGI). was by binder mixtures using Portland cement clinker (PCC) and lime kiln dust (LKD). Accelerators (X-seed 100 BASF, PCC, LKD salt) added samples for quick...

Der Beitrag befasst sich mit biometrischen Authentifizierungsverfahren zwischen Wahrung von Persönlichkeitsrechten einerseits und der Eignung zum Nachweis von Authentizität im elektronischen Rechtsverkehr insbesondere bei der Verwendung elektronischer Signaturen andererseits. Ein Vergleich mit herkömmlichen Authentifizierungsmechanismen wie dem Prinzip Besitz und Wissen ergibt entscheidende Sch...

The goal of privacy metrics is to measure the degree of privacy enjoyed by users in a system and the amount of protection offered by privacy-enhancing technologies. In this way, privacy metrics contribute to improving user privacy in the digital world. The diversity and complexity of privacy metrics in the literature makes an informed choice of metrics challenging. As a result, redundant new me...

Human presence in Southeast Asia dates back to at least 40,000 years ago, when the current islands formed a continental shelf called Sundaland. In the Philippine Islands, Peninsular Malaysia, and Andaman Islands, there exist indigenous groups collectively called Negritos whose ancestry can be traced to the "First Sundaland People." To understand the relationship between these Negrito groups and...
