Spatially varying depth and the characteristics of observing conditions, such as seeing, airmass, or sky background, are major sources of systematic uncertainties in modern galaxy survey analyses, particularly in deep multi-epoch The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 226:24 (13pp), 2016 October doi:10.3847/0067-0049/226/2/24 © 2016.

We propose that the capacity for infants to form mental representations of hidden or occluded objects can be decomposed into two tasks: one process that identifies salient objects, and a second complementary process that identifies salient locations. This approach is inspired by the distinction between dorsal and ventral extrastriate visual processing in the primate visual system. We illustrate...

Experimental activity is traditionally identified with testing the empirical implications or numerical simulations of models against data. In critical reaction to the ‘tribunal view’ on experiments, this essay will show the constructive contribution of experimental activity to the processes of modeling and simulating. Based on the analysis of a case in fluid mechanics, it will focus specificall...

This poster discusses the theoretical approach to epigenetic development found in Attachment Theory. It then presents autonomous agent simulations which demonstrate how attachment styles may be formed by novel epigenetic processes.

MOTIVATION As an epigenetic alteration, DNA methylation plays an important role in epigenetic controls of gene transcription. Recent advances in genome-wide scan of DNA methylation provide great opportunities in studying the impact of DNA methylation on many human diseases including various types of cancer. Due to the unique feature of this type of data, applicable statistical methods are limit...

quantify their contribution to the inflation of test statistics in GWAS. In this communication, we extend the LD Score regression approach by applying the generalized estimation equations (GEE) framework, which is capable of incorporating more external information from reference panels about the correlation structure of test statistics. We apply our GEE approach and LD Score regression to simul...

Introduction: Due to the large number of PET systems available in the market, it is not very easy to decide about the scanner of choice. Conducting a research in order to compare all different PET scanners is very time consuming and expensive and practically impossible. However, such comparison may be conducted using PET simulators. In this study, the performance of 6 different PET scanne...
