UCHIME improves sensitivity and speed of chimera detection
Abstract Motivation: Chimeric DNA sequences often form during polymerase chain reaction amplification, especially when sequencing single regions (e.g. 16S rRNA or fungal Interna...

A More Accurate Method To Estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate from Serum Creatinine: A New Prediction Equation
The equation developed from the MDRD Study provided a more accurate estimate of GFR in our study group than measured creatinine clearance or other commonly used equations.
Tissue-based map of the human proteome
Protein expression across human tissues Sequencing the human genome gave new insights into human biology and disease. However, the ultimate goal is to understand the dynamic exp...
Least squares quantization in PCM
It has long been realized that in pulse-code modulation (PCM), with a given ensemble of signals to handle, the quantum values should be spaced more closely in the voltage region...
One-step inactivation of chromosomal genes in <i>Escherichia coli</i> K-12 using PCR products
We have developed a simple and highly efficient method to disrupt chromosomal genes in Escherichia coli in which PCR primers provide the homology to the targeted gene(s). In thi...
Self-efficacy mechanism in human agency.
This article addresses the centrality of the self-efficacy mechanism in human agency. Self-per- cepts of efficacy influence thought patterns, actions, and emotional arousal. In ...
Improved Survival with Ipilimumab in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma
Ipilimumab, with or without a gp100 peptide vaccine, as compared with gp100 alone, improved overall survival in patients with previously treated metastatic melanoma. Adverse eve...
Mining association rules between sets of items in large databases
We are given a large database of customer transactions. Each transaction consists of items purchased by a customer in a visit. We present an efficient algorithm that generates a...

The electronic properties of ultrathin crystals of molybdenum disulfide consisting of N=1,2,…,6 S-Mo-S monolayers have been investigated by optical spectroscopy. Through charact...
Raman Spectrum of Graphene and Graphene Layers
Graphene is the two-dimensional building block for carbon allotropes of every other dimensionality. We show that its electronic structure is captured in its Raman spectrum that ...
