Where Does Parkinson Disease Pathology Begin in the Brain?

The substantia nigra is not the induction site in the brain of the neurodegenerative process underlying Parkinson disease (PD). Instead, the results of this semi-quantitative st...

Conservative constraints on early cosmology with MONTE PYTHON

Models for the latest stages of the cosmological evolution rely on a less solid theoretical and observational ground than the description of earlier stages like BBN and recombin...

Survey Questions: Handcrafting the Standardized Questionnaire

This book reviews the experimental literature on how survey questions behave as well as the lore of professional experience and culls from them those guiding principles and spec...

Predicting functionally important residues from sequence conservation

Abstract Motivation: All residues in a protein are not equally important. Some are essential for the proper structure and function of the protein, whereas others can be readily ...

Why do we need some large, simple randomized trials?

Image and video upscaling from local self-examples

We propose a new high-quality and efficient single-image upscaling technique that extends existing example-based super-resolution frameworks. In our approach we do not rely on a...

Multifactorial Analysis of Differences Between Sporadic Breast Cancers and Cancers Involving BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutations

Our study has identified key features of the histologic phenotypes of breast cancers in carriers of mutant BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. This information may improve the classification...

Price-Induced Patterns of Competition

This research focuses on how price changes influence the observed pattern of brand competition. The paper begins with a basic utility model formulation and examines the implicat...

A box diffusion model to study the carbon dioxide exchange in nature

Phenomena related to the natural carbon cycle as the 14C distribution between atmosphere and ocean and the atmospheric response to the input of fossil fuel CO₂ and of...

What Do the Kohn−Sham Orbitals and Eigenvalues Mean?

Kohn−Sham orbitals and eigenvalues are calculated with gradient-corrected functionals for a set of small molecules (H2O, N2, CrH66-, and PdCl42-), varying basis sets and functio...
