Substrate-Controlled Succession of Marine Bacterioplankton Populations Induced by a Phytoplankton Bloom

Blooming Succession Algal blooms in the ocean will trigger a succession of microbial predators and scavengers. Teeling et al. (p. 608 ) used a combination of microscopy, metagen...

Psychometric Comparison of the Standard EQ-5D to a 5 Level Version in Cancer Patients

Evidence supported the validity of both EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L in cancer. However, results suggest a 5-level classifier system has less ceiling effect and greater discriminative ...

Somatic Mutation Profiles of MSI and MSS Colorectal Cancer Identified by Whole Exome Next Generation Sequencing and Bioinformatics Analysis

We conclude that with deep sequencing of tumor exomes one may be able to predict the microsatellite status of CRC and in addition identify potentially clinically relevant mutati...

Evaluating Equivalency Between Response Systems

This study illustrates the rich potential for modern psychometric techniques both to examine equivalency when health status measures are modified as well as to inform preference...
