Genetic Distance between Populations
A measure of genetic distance (D) based on the identity of genes between populations is formulated. It is defined as D = -logeI, where I is the normalized identity of genes betw...

A Mathematical Theory of Communication
Scientific knowledge grows at a phenomenal pace--but few books have had as lasting an impact or played as important a role in our modern world as The Mathematical Theory of Comm...
Dispersion and Absorption in Dielectrics I. Alternating Current Characteristics
The dispersion and absorption of a considerable number of liquid and dielectrics are represented by the empirical formula ε*−ε∞=(ε0−ε∞)/[1+(iωτ0)1−α]. In this equation, ε* is th...
Fast model-based estimation of ancestry in unrelated individuals
Population stratification has long been recognized as a confounding factor in genetic association studies. Estimated ancestries, derived from multi-locus genotype data, can be u...
Agency costs of free cash flow, corporate finance, and takeovers
Corporate managers are the agents of shareholders; a relationship fraught with conflicting interests. Agency theory, the analysis of such conflicts, is now a major part of the e...
Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals

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...
Global patterns of 16S rRNA diversity at a depth of millions of sequences per sample
The ongoing revolution in high-throughput sequencing continues to democratize the ability of small groups of investigators to map the microbial component of the biosphere. In pa...
A typology of reviews: an analysis of 14 review types and associated methodologies
Abstract Background and objectives: The expansion of evidence‐based practice across sectors has lead to an increasing variety of review types. However, the diversity of terminol...
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...
