Same Old Bugs, New Diseases
Blood-borne mycoplasmas, known collectively as hemotropic mycoplasmas or hemoplasmas, are small, pleomorphic, epicellular bacteria that adhere to the host’s red blood cells. They cannot be cultured. They can be detected microscopically in blood smears and, more reliably, through use of PCR assays on whole blood. The hemoplasmas vary in severity of disease caused to the host and most infected an...
متن کاملOn the existence of a cherry-picking sequence
Recently, the minimum number of reticulation events that is required to simultaneously embed a collection P of rooted binary phylogenetic trees into a so-called temporal network has been characterized in terms of cherry-picking sequences. Such a sequence is a particular ordering on the leaves of the trees in P. However, it is well-known that not all collections of phylogenetic trees have a cher...
متن کاملCherry-picking for complex data: robust structure discovery.
Complex data often arise as a superposition of data generated from several simpler models. The traditional strategy for such cases is to use mixture modelling, but it can be problematic, especially in higher dimensions. This paper considers an alternative approach, emphasizing data exploration and robustness to model misspecification. The strategy is applied to problems in regression, cluster a...
متن کاملCherry-picking in Labor Markets with Imperfect Information
We study a competitive labor market with imperfect information. In our basic model, the labor market consists of heterogeneous workers and ex ante identical firms who have imperfect information about workers’ productivities. Firms compete by posting wages each round to win the right to make job offers, and take turns to cherry-pick more productive workers. We also consider extensions of the mod...
متن کاملThe “When” and “Where” Dimensions of Cherry Picking
Due to the use of promotional pricing by supermarkets, there is considerable price variation across weeks within a store and across stores within a week. Consumers may therefore save on their groceries by (1) cherry picking over time (“when”) and (2) cherry picking across stores (“where”). The research focuses on three substantive research questions associated with cherry picking: (1) What vari...
