Genome-wide association study of 14,000 cases of seven common diseases and 3,000 shared controls
There is increasing evidence that genome-wide association (GWA) studies represent a powerful approach to the identification of genes involved in common human diseases. We descri...
The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project.
Genome-wide association studies have identified thousands of loci for common diseases, but, for the majority of these, the mechanisms underlying disease susceptibility remain un...
PointNet: Deep Learning on Point Sets for 3D Classification and Segmentation
Point cloud is an important type of geometric data structure. Due to its irregular format, most researchers transform such data to regular 3D voxel grids or collections of image...
Politeness
This study is about the principles for constructing polite speeches. The core of it first appeared in Questions and Politeness, edited by Esther N. Goody (now out of print). It ...
Quantum entanglement
All our former experience with application of quantum theory seems to say: {\it what is predicted by quantum formalism must occur in laboratory}. But the essence of quantum form...
Inflationary universe: A possible solution to the horizon and flatness problems
The standard model of hot big-bang cosmology requires initial conditions which are problematic in two ways: (1) The early universe is assumed to be highly homogeneous, in spite ...
Mixed-Effects Models in S and S-PLUS
Mixed-effects models provide a flexible and powerful tool for the analysis of grouped data, which arise in many areas as diverse as agriculture, biology, economics, manufacturin...
NIA‐AA Research Framework: Toward a biological definition of Alzheimer's disease
Abstract In 2011, the National Institute on Aging and Alzheimer's Association created separate diagnostic recommendations for the preclinical, mild cognitive impairment, and dem...
<i>EGFR</i> Mutations in Lung Cancer: Correlation with Clinical Response to Gefitinib Therapy
Receptor tyrosine kinase genes were sequenced in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and matched normal tissue. Somatic mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor gene EGF...
