Genetic Association of Recovery from Eating Disorders: The Role of GABA Receptor SNPs

Follow-up studies of eating disorders (EDs) suggest outcomes ranging from recovery to chronic illness or death, but predictors of outcome have not been consistently identified. We tested 5151 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in approximately 350 cand ...

A framework for using quantitative PCR as a non-culture based method to estimate virus infectivity

Tamar Kohn, Martin Ackermann, Brian Pecson

Measuring the efficiency of virus disinfection with quantitative PCR (qPCR) has been criticized as inadequate due to the production of false-positive signals. Such a claim, however, presupposes an understanding of the theoretical qPCR response. Many studie ...

Fast and accurate phylogenetic reconstruction from high-resolution whole-genome data and a novel robustness estimator

Bernard Moret, Yu Lin, Vaibhav Rajan

The rapid accumulation of whole-genome data has renewed interest in the study of genomic rearrangements. Comparative genomics, evolutionary biology, and cancer research all require models and algorithms to elucidate the mechanisms, history, and consequence ...

Netscope: Practical Network Loss Tomography

Patrick Thiran, Xuan Hung Nguyen, Maciej Kurant, Denisa Gabriela Ghita

We present Netscope, a tomographic technique that infers the loss rates of network links from unicast end-to-end measurements. Netscope uses a novel combination of first- and second-order moments of end-to-end measurements to identify and characterize the ...

Coupling the Inhibition of Viral Transduction with a Positive Fluorescence Signal

Christoph Merten

Cell-based assays for the inhibition of viral infections most commonly couple a positive signal (e.g., an increase in fluorescence) to the infection itself and not to its inhibition. When performing drug screens, compounds decreasing the signal are therefo ...

Endoscopic Fluorescence Imaging

Blaise Lovisa

Since several decades, the physicians are able to access hollow organs with endoscopic methods, which serve both as diagnostic and surgical means in a wide range of disciplines of the modern medicine (e.g. urology, pneumology, gastroenterology). Unfortunat ...

Outtweeting the Twitterers - Predicting Information Cascades in Microblogs

Karl Aberer, Dipanjan Chakraborty, Wojciech Galuba, Zoran Despotovic

Microblogging sites are a unique and dynamic Web 2.0 communication medium. Understanding the information flow in these systems can not only provide better insights into the underlying sociology, but is also crucial for applications such as content ranking, ...

Structural identification through continuous monitoring: data cleansing using temperature variations

Ian Smith, Irwanda Laory

The aim of structural performance monitoring is to infer the state of a structure from measurements and thereby support decisions related to structural management. Complex structures may be equipped with hundreds of sensors that measure quantities such as ...

We study combinatorial group testing schemes for learning

d

-sparse boolean vectors using highly unreliable disjunctive measurements. We consider an adversarial noise model that only limits the number of false observations, and show that any noise-resilie ...
