New emerging viruses like coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infections are always frightening. We know little about theirtransmission, behaviors, clinical manifestations, and outcomes. There is no vaccine or therapeutic strategies to dealwith these infections yet. In this situation, preventive measures may be promising. Hand hygiene is a very importantissue in preventing viral infec...

The Joy of Six: How to Control Your Crossovers

Meiotic cells tightly regulate the number and distribution of crossovers to promote accurate chromosome segregation. Yokoo and colleagues uncover a metazoan-specific, cyclin-like protein that is crucial for crossover formation. They utilize this protein's unique properties to explore a remarkable example of biological numerology, whereby nearly every meiotic cell in C. elegans makes precisely s...

How to recycle your facets

We show how to transform any inequality defining a facet of some 0/1-polytope into an inequality defining a facet of the acyclic subgraph polytope. While this facet-recycling procedure can potentially be used to construct ‘nasty’ facets, it can also be used to better understand and extend the polyhedral theory of the acyclic subgraph and linear ordering problems.

How to Increase Your “Power”

For a researcher, the power refers to the possibility of proving the difference between the two different groups. In other words, the probability that the test correctly rejects the null hypothesis when the alternative hypothesis. Generally, statistically significant results are obtained if statistical tests are performed with enough numbers. In the usual case, the clinical difference is not so...
