We develop an analytic statistical framework for examining a variety of gene-set enrichment analysis tests. Within this framework, we describe why statistical power for both self-contained and competitive gene set tests is a function of the correlation structure of co-expressed genes, and why this characteristic is undesireable for gene-set analyses. We additionally describe why past gene-set t...

Infrared thermogrpahy was utilized to record the temperature change during tensile loading cycles of two shape memory alloy single crystals with pseudoelastic behavior. During unloading, a giant temperature drop was measured in the gage section due to the elastocaloric effect. This data article provides a video of a [001] oriented Ni2FeGa single crystal, including the corresponding stress-strai...

To the editor In Europe, several national drug agencies (including the Italian one) are examining the issue of whether new oral anticoagulants such as dabigatran or rivaroxaban can be reimbursed for atrial fibrillation. In making this decision, the main question is of an economic nature; for example, Gage has estimated that ‘if all of the approximately 760 000 British patients with atrial fibri...
