Korea’s transition experiments as a post catch-up project

Statistics catch-up lecture

Example 1. In a genetic study, n = 2217 patients are recruited, among which 1127 have bladder cancer. After whole genome sequencing, p = 475290 single nucleatide polymorphisms (or SNPs, a possible variation of the DNA sequence at one location) are measured on each patient. We construct a matrix X = (Xij)1≤i≤n,1≤j≤p where Xij = 1 if the ith patient has a mutation at jth location and 0 otherwise....

Catch-up Growth

Catch-up growth.

Catch-up growth, defined as growth velocity above the statistical limits of normality for age or maturity during a defined period of time, is distinguished from compensatory growth since it makes up for a potential loss rather than an actual loss and is seen in the whole body as opposed to specific organs. The cellular explanation for catch-up based on the work of Winick is described and a rece...

Project Improvement as Start-Up

“We boldly go where no man has gone before”. We want to announce new products and services and use matching supporting information systems. All this more rapidly than before and with higher quality. Thinking about time to market, you will come automatically to the question: “How to improve the process to be able to deliver more rapidly?” But the most important of all is not the process; it is t...

A role for suppressed thermogenesis favoring catch-up fat in the pathophysiology of catch-up growth.

Catch-up growth is a risk factor for later obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. We show here that after growth arrest by semistarvation, rats refed the same amount of a low-fat diet as controls show 1) lower energy expenditure due to diminished thermogenesis that favors accelerated fat deposition or catch-up fat and 2) normal glucose tolerance but higher plasma insulin after a...
