Global traffic and disease vector dispersal

The expansion of global air travel and seaborne trade overcomes geographic barriers to insect disease vectors, enabling them to move great distances in short periods of time. He...

Clinical Features and Short-term Outcomes of 102 Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 in Wuhan, China

Abstract Background In December 2019, a series of pneumonia cases of unknown cause emerged in Wuhan, Hubei, China. In this study, we investigate the clinical and laboratory feat...

Ensemble Dependence of Fluctuations with Application to Machine Computations

The standard theory of fluctuations in thermodynamic variables in various ensembles is generalized to nonthermodynamic variables: e.g., the mean-square fluctuations of the kinet...

Semiparametric ARCH Models

This article introduces a semiparametric autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH) model that has conditional first and second moments given by autoregressive moving ...

Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is being increasingly recognized as a common liver disorder that represents the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome, a varia...

Detection of single fluorescent molecules

Empirical development of an MMPI subscale for the assessment of combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder.

Few guidelines exist for the psychological assessment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Vietnam combat veterans. The focus of the present study was to develop empirical...

Bayesian random local clocks, or one rate to rule them all

The examples suggest that large sequence datasets may only require a small number of local molecular clocks to reconcile their branch lengths with a time scale. All of the analy...

Some applications of Laplace eigenvalues of graphs

Epidemiology: Reflections on Testing the Validity of Psychiatric Interviews

Laboratory tests that validate psychiatric disorder are unavailable. Accordingly, the validity of structured diagnostic interviews such as the Diagnostic Interview Schedule have...

Models of accuracy in repeated-measures designs

Local Maxima and the Expected Euler Characteristic of Excursion Sets of <i>χ ², F</i> and <i>t</i> Fields

The maximum of a Gaussian random field was used by Worsley et al. (1992) to test for activation at an unknown point in positron emission tomography images of blood flow in the h...
