Why we need a broad perspective on meta-analysis
In the world of clinical trials and meta-analyses there is an important debate between the “lumpers” and the “splitters.” This relates to whether the overall findings of clinica...

High-Redshift Quasars Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of 15 high-redshift quasars (z > 3.6) discovered from ~140 deg^2 of five-color (u'g'r'i'z') imaging data taken by the Sloan...
Defining Molecular Targets to Prevent Alzheimer Disease
An explosion of new techniques to explore DNA and protein biology during the last 2 decades has illuminated one of the most enigmatic and intractable subjects in biomedicine—neu...
Molecular Phylogeny of Northern Hemisphere Species of Armillaria
ABSTRACTThis study used polymerase chain reaction amplification and direct sequencing of double-stranded DNA to compare the intergenic region between the 3′ end of the 26S gene ...
An emerging consensus on grading recommendations?
Clinical practice guidelines have improved in quality over the past 10 years by adhering to a few basic principles, such as conducting thorough systematic reviews of relevant ev...
Empirical graph Laplacian approximation of Laplace–Beltrami operators: Large sample results
Let ${M}$ be a compact Riemannian submanifold of ${{\\bf R}^m}$ of dimension\n$\\scriptstyle{d}$ and let ${X_1,...,X_n}$ be a sample of i.i.d. points in ${M}$\nwith uniform dist...
Archiving next generation sequencing data
Next generation sequencing platforms are producing biological sequencing data in unprecedented amounts. The partners of the International Nucleotide Sequencing Database Collabor...
Development Standards for Health Measures
The growing demand for subjective measurements of health in clinical studies has encouraged the rapid creation of many new scales, leading to compromises in the quality of some ...
Quantitative chemical state XPS analysis of first row transition metals, oxides and hydroxides
Practical quantitative chemical state X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of first row transition metals, oxides and hydroxides is challenging due to the complexity ...
A systematic review of the clinical effectiveness of first-line chemotherapy for adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer
Our aim was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of chemotherapy treatments currently licensed in Europe and recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellen...
Impact of Age on the Importance of Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressures for Stroke Risk
This study investigates age-related shifts in the relative importance of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressures as predictors of stroke and whether these relations a...
The Discovery of a High-Redshift Quasar without Emission Lines from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data
We report observations of a luminous unresolved object at redshift z=4.62, with a featureless optical spectrum redward of the Lyalpha forest region, discovered from Sloan Digita...
