Inflationary universe: A possible solution to the horizon and flatness problems
The standard model of hot big-bang cosmology requires initial conditions which are problematic in two ways: (1) The early universe is assumed to be highly homogeneous, in spite ...
Mixed-Effects Models in S and S-PLUS
Mixed-effects models provide a flexible and powerful tool for the analysis of grouped data, which arise in many areas as diverse as agriculture, biology, economics, manufacturin...
Least angle regression
The purpose of model selection algorithms such as All Subsets, Forward Selection and Backward Elimination is to choose a linear model on the basis of the same set of data to whi...
<i>EGFR</i> Mutations in Lung Cancer: Correlation with Clinical Response to Gefitinib Therapy
Receptor tyrosine kinase genes were sequenced in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and matched normal tissue. Somatic mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor gene EGF...
Phonons and related crystal properties from density-functional perturbation theory
This article reviews the current status of lattice-dynamical calculations in\ncrystals, using density-functional perturbation theory, with emphasis on the\nplane-wave pseudo-pot...
Ordering, metastability and phase transitions in two-dimensional systems
A new definition of order called topological order is proposed for two-dimensional systems in which no long-range order of the conventional type exists. The possibility of a pha...
A Stochastic Approximation Method
Let $M(x)$ denote the expected value at level $x$ of the response to a certain experiment. $M(x)$ is assumed to be a monotone function of $x$ but is unknown to the experimenter,...
The biology <b>,</b> function <b>,</b> and biomedical applications of exosomes
Clinical uses of cellular communication Exosomes are a type of extracellular vesicle that contain constituents (protein, DNA, and RNA) of the cells that secrete them. They are t...
Comprehensive Mapping of Long-Range Interactions Reveals Folding Principles of the Human Genome
Chromosomal Mapping The conformation of the genome in the nucleus and contacts between both proximal and distal loci influence gene expression. In order to map genomic contacts,...
RNA-Guided Human Genome Engineering via Cas9
Genome Editing Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) function as part of an adaptive immune system in a range of prokaryotes: Invading phage and pla...
