Head et al. (2015) provided a large collection of p-values that, from their perspective, indicates widespread statistical significance seeking (i.e., p-hacking). This paper inspects this result for robustness. Theoretically, the p-value distribution should be a smooth, decreasing function, but the distribution of reported p-values shows systematically more reported p-values for .01, .02, .03, ....

We provide another proof of the Sipser{Lautemann Theorem by which BPP MA (PH). The current proof is based on strong results regarding the ampliication of BPP, due to Zuck-erman. Given these results, the current proof is even simpler than previous ones. Furthermore, extending the proof leads to two results regarding MA: MA ZPP NP (which seems to be new), and that two-sided error MA equals MA. Fi...

Thiazolidinedione analogs are new antidiabetic agents that attenuate peripheral insulin resistance in noninsulin-dependent diabetic patients; however, the effects of these agents on insulin secretion are not known. We determined the short-term and long-term effects of troglitazone (CS-045) on insulin secretion in a Syrian hamster clonal beta-cell line, HIT-T 15 cells. The direct effect of trogl...

Bipolar radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) strategy using two catheters may require prolonged fluoroscopy time because of challenges with positioning. Intracardiac echocardiographic images only offer limited views to help maneuver both catheters. To simultaneously visualize on the 3D mapping system for localizing target and minimizing fluoroscopy. A bipolar RFCA was set up connections grou...

Several lines of evidence have suggested that insulin resistance may play an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. CS-045 is a new hypoglycemic drug by which improves insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues. We assessed the effect of CS-045 on hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) as a control. At 20 weeks of age, the treatment with CS...

BACKGROUND Lejeunea is a largely epiphytic, subcosmopolitan liverwort genus with a complex taxonomic history. Species circumscriptions and their relationships are subject to controversy; biogeographic history and diversification through time are largely unknown. METHODOLOGY AND RESULTS We employed sequences of two chloroplast regions (trnL-trnF, rbcL) and the nuclear ribosomal ITS region of 3...

Experiments were conducted to determine the tryptophan (Trp) requirement of 10- to 20-kg pigs. A Trp-deficient experimental diet (.11% total Trp, 18% CP, 3,320 kcal of ME/kg) was composed of corn, feather meal, corn gluten meal, soybean meal, and dried whey. True digestibility of Trp in the experimental diet was 70% (.077% digestible Trp) as established in a digestibility assay that involved ce...

Hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) are assumed to reflect integrated long-term cortisol levels and have been proposed as a promising endocrine marker of chronic psychological stress. The current study examined HCC in relation to caregiving burden, a well-established naturalistic model of chronic stress in humans. HCC and relevant psychosocial data were examined in 20 caregivers of relatives wit...
