Fatigue as the missing link between bone fragility and fracture

Dominique Pioletti, Vincent Stadelmann, Claire Acevedo

The prevention of fragility fractures in bone—pathologic fractures resulting from daily activity and mostly occurring in the elderly population—has been a long-term clinical quest. Recent research indicating that falls in the elderly might be the conse- qu ...

High performance computation of landscape genomic models including local indicators of spatial association

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki, Pierre Taberlet

With the increasing availability of both molecular and topo-climatic data, the main challenges facing landscape genomics — i.e. the combination of landscape ecology with population genomics — include processing large numbers of models and distinguishing be ...

Cross-Border Life in Europe: Daily Mobility in the Trinational Metropolis of Basel

Yann Francis Eric Dubois

In Europe about 2 million people work and live in two different countries. While at the European scale cross-border workers only account for a limited portion of the working-age population, in some regions cross-border work takes a huge importance. In thes ...

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF A PATIENT SPECIFIC FINITE ELEMENT MODEL FOR SHOULDER ARTHOPLASTY

Gerard Guell Bartrina

Background Glenohumeral osteoarthritis is common degenerative disease within the elderly population, which causes pain and reduced mobility. In advanced cases, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is usually performed. Although TSA is an established procedure ...

Two sides of the same coin: A population genetics perspective on lethal mutagenesis and mutational meltdown

Jeffrey David Jensen, Claudia Bank, Sebastian Matuszewski, Nicky Louise Ormond

The extinction of RNA virus populations upon application of a mutagenic drug is frequently referred to as evidence for the existence of an error threshold, above which the population cannot sustain the mutational load. To explain the extinction process aft ...

Anomaly detection in elderly daily behavior in ambient sensing environments

Daniel Gatica-Perez, Oya Aran, Dairazalia Sanchez Cortes

Current ubiquitous computing applications for smart homes aim to enhance people’s daily living respecting age span. Among the target groups of people, elderly are a population eager for “choices for living arrangements”, which would allow them to continue ...

Detecting spatial genetic signatures of local adaptation in heterogeneous landscapes

Stéphane Joost

The spatial structure of the environment (e.g., the configuration of habitat patches) may play an important role in determining the strength of local adaptation. However, previous studies of habitat heterogeneity and local adaptation have largely been limi ...

Genomic diversity and Population Structure of Ugandan Taurine and Zebuine Cattle Breeds

Stéphane Joost, Sylvie Stucki, Elia Vajana, Pierre Taberlet

An extensive sampling of Ugandan cattle was carried out in the course of the European project Nextgen to identify possible associations between genotypes, livestock endemic diseases and environmental variables. As a prior to the GWAS and selection signatur ...
