We consider array experiments that compare expression levels of a high number of genes in two cell lines with few repetitions and with no subject effect. We develop a statistical model that illustrates under which assumptions thresholding is optimal in the analysis of s...

We studied the localization of N-acyl phosphatidylethanolamine (NAPE), a putative cannabinoid precursor, in primary cultures of striatal and cortical neurons from the rat brain. We probed intact neurons with various exogenous phospholipases, including S. chromofuscus ph...

Following treatment of fear-related disorders, return of fear remains a common occurrence. Currently, the presence of safety signals during treatment procedures is considered harmful, yet recent findings have demonstrated that certain safety signals (social-support fig...

Glioma is recognized to be a highly heterogeneous CNS malignancy, whose diverse cellular composition and cellular interactions have not been well characterized. To gain new clinical- and biological-insights into the genetically-bifurcated IDH1 mutant (mt) vs wildtype (w...

Basaloid follicular hamartoma (BFH) is a rare benign adnexal tumor with variable clinical presentation. We report a case of a 64-year-old man, who presented with an incidental finding of a 3mm hyperpigmented macule on his cheek. Dermoscopy revealed a structureless blue ...

In light emitting diodes (LED) consisting of indium gallium nitride (InGaN) quantum wells (QWs) in a GaN matrix, the atomic In distribution inside the wells defines device performance. We analyzed samples (LED structures) with a nominal In composition of 17%. Using a co...

The primary question in this dissertation concerns the relationship between transitional justice policies and democratic consolidation. It is often assumed that transitional justice will have a positive impact on consolidation, but this is rarely examined or empirically...

The 2017 edition of the IAS-USA drug resistance mutations list updates the figures last published in November 2015. The mutations listed are those that have been identified by specific criteria for evidence and drugs described. The figures are designed to assist practit...
