The group with ADD had a higher mean age (p value < 0.001), a lower mean length of education (p value < 0.001), and a higher frequency of APOE ɛ4 carriers (p value < 0.001) than the CU group, whereas no differences were found in sex (p value = 0.429) or ...
One microgram of total RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using the Single-Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA, USA) and analyzed using ABI-7900 (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). Specific primers for Q-PCR of GAPDH, RPL13A and ACTB (housekeeping genes) and ...
While Human Factors (HF) methods have been applied to the design of decision support systems (DSS) to aid clinical decision-making, the role of HF to improve decision-support for population health outcomes is less understood. We sought to comprehensively understand how HF methods have been used...
Aegilops tauschii, the diploid wild progenitor of the D subgenome of bread wheat, is a reservoir of genetic diversity for improving bread wheat performance and environmental resilience. Here we sequenced 242 Ae. tauschii accessions and compared them to t

The benefits of model averaging and combining were highlighted in the statistics and forecasting literature several decades ago (e.g. Bates & Granger,1969; Clemen,1989) but until quite recently such approaches were uncommon in demographic forecasting (though see, for example, Isserman,1977, and Smi...
Individual variation in quantitative traits clearly influence many ecological and evolutionary processes. Moderate to high heritability estimates of personality and life-history traits suggest some level of genetic control over these traits. Yet, we know
