Research on the efficacy of mediated suicide awareness campaigns is limited. The impacts of a state-wide media campaign on call volumes to a national hotline were analyzed to determine if the advertisements have raised awareness of the hotline. We use a quasi-experimental design to compare call volumes from ZIP codes where and when the campaign is active with those where and when the campaign i...

BACKGROUND Based on death certificate data, the Texas Department of Health Bureau of Vital Statistics calculates age adjusted all-cause mortality rates for each Texas county yearly. In 1998 the calculated rates for two adjacent Texas counties was disparate. These counties contain one city (Amarillo) and are identical in size. This study examined the accuracy of recorded county of residence for ...

Recent ndings suggest that a classiication scheme based on an ensemble of networks is an eeective way to address overrtting. We study optimal methods for training an ensemble of networks. Some recent experiments on Postal Zip-code character data suggest that weight decay may not be an optimal method for controlling the variance of a classiier.

Plant development is characterized by precise control of gene regulation, leading to the correct spatial and temporal tissue patterning. We have characterized the Arabidopsis jabba-1D (jba-1D) mutant, which displays multiple enlarged shoot meristems, radialized leaves, reduced gynoecia and vascular defects. The jba-1D meristem phenotypes require WUSCHEL (WUS) activity, and correlate with a dram...

The leucine zipper is the dimerization domain of the B-ZIP (basic-region leucine zipper) class of eukaryotic transcription factors (Vinson et al., 1989). The name arose because leucines occur every seven amino acids in this dimerization domain.These leucines are critical for the dimerization and DNA binding of B-ZIP proteins. The leucine zipper is a left-handed parallel dimeric coiled-coil, a s...
