Variation in human DNA sequences account for a significant amount of genetic risk factors for common disease such as hypertension, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, and cancer. Identifying the human sequence variation that makes up the genetic basis of common disease will have a tremendous impact on medicine in many ways. Recent efforts to identify these genetic factors through large scale associa...

Prognostic Factors in Cancer, 3rd edition. By M. K. Gospodarowicz, B. O'Sullivan, L. H. Sobin (Eds.)

stra. The author summarizes the concepts, and discusses the problems relating to high-throughput protein identification and data analysis. Finally, in the last chapter, D. C. Liebler reviews bioinformatic tools for proteomics, notably for peptide sequence identification with MS data, the approaches for protein identification analysis of uninterpreted data, the role of software for de novo seque...

Booth, A., Brown, S. L., Landale, N. S., Manning, W. D., McHale, S. M. (eds): Early Adulthood in a Family Context

Family formation is increasingly delayed in the contemporary developed world. A few decades ago, young adulthood (age 18–24) was a period of family formation. Nowadays, the usual steps of entry into adulthood—marriage, childbearing—come much later in the life-course. The age 18–24 is no longer a time of making commitments. In 2000, the psychologist Jeffrey Arnett used the term ‘‘emerging adulth...

We present in this paper a theoretical and practical performance analysis of pipelined sort-last rendering for both polygonal and volume rendering. Theoretical peak performance and scalability are studied, exhibiting maximum attainable framerates of 19 fps (volume rendering with back-to-front alpha blending) and 11 fps (polygonal rendering with Z-buffer compositing) for a 1280× 1024 display on ...
