<i>Ab initio</i>molecular-dynamics simulation of the liquid-metal–amorphous-semiconductor transition in germanium
We present ab initio quantum-mechanical molecular-dynamics simulations of the liquid-metal--amorphous-semiconductor transition in Ge. Our simulations are based on (a) finite-tem...
Atoms, molecules, solids, and surfaces: Applications of the generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation
Generalized gradient approximations (GGA’s) seek to improve upon the accuracy of the local-spin-density (LSD) approximation in electronic-structure calculations. Perdew and Wang...
Detecting the number of clusters of individuals using the software <scp>structure</scp>: a simulation study
Abstract The identification of genetically homogeneous groups of individuals is a long standing issue in population genetics. A recent Bayesian algorithm implemented in the soft...
Estimates of worldwide burden of cancer in 2008: GLOBOCAN 2008
Abstract Estimates of the worldwide incidence and mortality from 27 cancers in 2008 have been prepared for 182 countries as part of the GLOBOCAN series published by the Internat...
The meaning and use of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
A representation and interpretation of the area under a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve obtained by the "rating" method, or by mathematical predictions based on pa...
BLAST+: architecture and applications
Abstract Background Sequence similarity searching is a very important bioinformatics task. While Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) outperforms exact methods through its ...
Introducing mothur: Open-Source, Platform-Independent, Community-Supported Software for Describing and Comparing Microbial Communities
ABSTRACT mothur aims to be a comprehensive software package that allows users to use a single piece of software to analyze community sequence data. It builds upon previous tools...
Cancer statistics, 2020
Abstract Each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths that will occur in the United States and compiles the most recent data on po...
Search and clustering orders of magnitude faster than BLAST
Abstract Motivation: Biological sequence data is accumulating rapidly, motivating the development of improved high-throughput methods for sequence classification. Results: UBLAS...
The need to belong: Desire for interpersonal attachments as a fundamental human motivation.
A hypothesized need to form and maintain strong, stable interpersonal relationships is evaluated in light of the empirical literature. The need is for frequent, nonaversive inte...
