Vawter et al. [2004] studied differences in gene expression between male and female patients. This gender study is an interesting benchmark for methods aiming at removing unwanted variation as it expected to be affected by several technical and biological factors: two microarray platforms, three different labs, three tissue localizations in the brain. Most of the 10 patients involved in the stu...

The new species is a member of an apparently monophyletic group within the genus that includes R. flexile, R. walga, R. himanturi, R. burgeri, R. euzeti, R. hawaiiensis, R. urobatidium, R. paratrygoni, R. ditesticulum, R. tetralobatum, R. margaritense, R. biorchidum, and R. spinicephalum. All of these species have bothridia with medial longitudinal septa, a constriction at mid-bothridium, and, ...

We present an efficient variation of the Local Ensemble Kalman Filter (Ott et al. 2002, 2004) and the results of perfect model tests with the Lorenz-96 model. This scheme is locally analogous to performing the Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (Bishop et al. 2001). We also include a four-dimensional extension of the scheme to allow for asynchronous observations.

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) methods such as two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE; O’Farrell (1975)) and two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE; Ünlü et al. (1997)) are popular techniques for protein separation because they allow researchers to characterize quantitative protein changes on a large scale. Thus, 2-DE is frequently used as an in...

Eighteen temporal lobectomy patients (9 left, LTL; 9 right, RTL) were administered four verbal tasks, an Affective Implicit Task, a Neutral Implicit Task, an Affective Explicit Task, and a Neutral Explicit Task. For the Affective and Neutral Implicit Tasks, participants were timed while reading aloud passages with affective or neutral content, respectively, as quickly as possible, but not so qu...

The success of assisted reproduction, although gradually increasing over the years, is still less than satisfactory. Many couples have benefited from this treatment; many have also been left frustrated following multiple failed attempts (Bulent Urman et al. 2005). Repeated implantation failure (RIF), defined as three or more failed IVF attempts or failure of IVF after cumula- Abstracts of the 5...

In this paper, we introduce new tests for exponentiality based on estimators of Renyi entropy of a continuous random variable. We first consider two transformations of the observations which turn the test of exponentiality into one of uniformity and use a corresponding test based on Renyi entropy. Critical values of the test statistics are computed by Monte Carlo simulations. Then, we compare p...

We simulate flow and transport directly on pore-space images obtained by micro-CT scanning of rock cores. An efficient Stokes solver is used to simulate low-Reynolds number flows. The flow simulator uses a finite-difference method along with a standard predictor-corrector procedure to decouple pressure and velocity. An algebraic multigrid technique solves the linear systems of equations. We the...
