The role of major gene and multifactorial inheritance in the aetiology of club foot in the New Zealand Polynesian population was studied using 287 New Zealand Maori and Pacific club foot families. The club foot family data were analysed by complex segregation analysis under the mixed model using the computer program POINTER. This analysis shows that the best genetic model for club foot in this ...

In networks the rich nodes are the subset of nodes with large numbers of links, or high degrees. The rich nodes and the connectivity between themselves (rich–club connectivity) tend to dominate the organisation of network structure. Recently there has been a considerable effort to characterise and model the rich–club connectivity in a variety of complex networks. In this paper we firstly clarif...

background: video-based instruction has been stated as an effective method of teaching and its potentials have encouraged instructors learners to opt this method purpose: the current study has compared the students' cognitive learning in the two approaches of lecture- based and video-based teaching. methods: this quasi-experimental study was conducted on 88 senior nursing students who were rand...

Many acquisitions by private equity (PE) firms are conducted by “clubs,” where a number of PE firms join together to submit a single bid. We present a novel analysis of the economics of club bidding by private equity firms based on the notion that club formation may create value at the target firm by allowing the different dimensions of value creation of each individual PE firm to be aggregated...

Spatial club convergence is a group of regions which are adjacent to each other in space and have similar initial conditions and structural features while converging towards the same steady state in the economic development. Based on the Solow model, this paper builds a theoretical model to prove the mechanism of spatial club convergence. The spatial club convergence process is explored in inla...

Given a simple undirected graph G, a k-club is a subset of vertices inducing a subgraph of diameter at most k. The maximum k-club problem (MkCP) is to find a k-club of maximum cardinality in G. These structures, originally introduced to model cohesive subgroups in social network analysis, are of interest in network-based data mining and clustering applications. The maximum k-club problem is NP-...

The brain's connectivity skeleton-a rich club of strongly interconnected members-was initially shown to exist in human structural networks, but recent evidence suggests a functional counterpart. This rich club typically includes key regions (or hubs) from multiple canonical networks, reducing the cost of inter-network communication. The posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), a hub node embedded with...
