—The use of model-predicted, local-scale habitat data as inputs in analyses intended to evaluate multiscale fish assemblage–habitat relationships in streams has become increasingly common as the scale at which such studies are conducted has increased. We used fish assemblage and habitat data from 208 wadeable streams in Wisconsin and Michigan to determine whether model-predicted habitat data wo...

In most image hallucination work, a strong assumption is held that images can be aligned to a template on which the prior of high-res images is formulated and learned. Realizing that one template can hardly generalize to all images of an object such as faces due to pose and viewpoint variation as well as occlusion, we propose an examplebased prior distribution via dense image correspondences. W...

One of the most persistent myths in the investment industry is that it makes sense to use an index strategy in efficient markets, for instance with large-capitalization stocks, but to use an active strategy in inefficient segments. It’s important to note that the term inefficient is often used to refer to informational inefficiencies. But investors must also consider the full spectrum of costs ...

Gene-environment correlation (rGE) exists both within and between families. Between families, accumulating rGE has been used to explain dramatic changes in phenotypic means over time. The Dickens and Flynn model of increases in cognitive ability over generational time, for example, suggests that small changes in phenotype can lead to subsequent reallocation of environmental resources. This proc...

Background Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, and financial burdens. Phenotyping methods are used to classify MRSA as either health care MRSA (HA-MRSA) or community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA). Recent studies suggested the phenotyping methods are not always reliable, based on a lack of concordance with genotyping results...
