GRADE: an emerging consensus on rating quality of evidence and strength of recommendations
Guidelines are inconsistent in how they rate the quality of evidence and the strength of recommendations. This article explores the advantages of the GRADE system, which is incr...
Naive Bayesian Classifier for Rapid Assignment of rRNA Sequences into the New Bacterial Taxonomy
ABSTRACT The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) Classifier, a naïve Bayesian classifier, can rapidly and accurately classify bacterial 16S rRNA sequences into the new higher-orde...
PLS-SEM: Indeed a Silver Bullet
Structural equation modeling (SEM) has become a quasi-standard in marketing and management research when it comes to analyzing the cause-effect relations between latent construc...
Accurate normalization of real-time quantitative RT-PCR data by geometric averaging of multiple internal control genes
The normalization strategy presented here is a prerequisite for accurate RT-PCR expression profiling, which, among other things, opens up the possibility of studying the biologi...
A Theory of Social Comparison Processes
Hypothesis I: There exists, in the human organism, a drive to evaluate his opinions and his abilities. While opinions and abilities may, at first glance, seem to be quite differ...
Increasing Returns and Long-Run Growth
This paper presents a fully specified model of long-run growth in which knowledge is assumed to be an input in production that has increasing marginal productivity. It is essent...
High resolution two-dimensional electrophoresis of proteins.
A technique has been developed for the separation of proteins by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Due to its resolution and sensitivity, this technique is a p...
La certeza de lo impredecible: Cultura Educación y Sociedad en tiempos de COVID19
El año 2020 ha sido sin duda uno que recordaremos como el más desafiante para nuestra generación, si se le observa desde una perspectiva global. Fue el año en que el mundo se co...
Polymorphic transitions in single crystals: A new molecular dynamics method
A new Lagrangian formulation is introduced. It can be used to make molecular dynamics (MD) calculations on systems under the most general, externally applied, conditions of stre...
Neural networks and physical systems with emergent collective computational abilities.
Computational properties of use of biological organisms or to the construction of computers can emerge as collective properties of systems having a large number of simple equiva...
Principles of Optics
The book is comprised of 15 chapters that discuss various topics about optics, such as geometrical theories, image forming instruments, and optics of metals and crystals. The te...
