Why Ageing is More Important than Being Old

Analysis of variance---why it is more important than ever

Analysis of variance (Anova) is an extremely important method in exploratory and confirmatory data analysis. Unfortunately, in complex problems (for example, splitplot designs), it is not always easy to set up an appropriate Anova. We propose a hierarchical analysis that automatically gives the correct Anova comparisons even in complex scenarios. The inferences for all means and variances are p...

Fetal Vegf Genotype is More Important for Abortion Risk than Mother Genotype

Background VEGF gene has been reported to be related with many diseases and recurrent pregnancy loss in various studies. VEGF polymorphisms are risk factors for pregnancy losses, and generally studies report only women’s genetic analyses. To evaluate the association between VEGF A C405G, C460T, C936T and C2578A polymorphisms and spontaneous abortion, we studied the genotypes of spontaneously a...

Why Is Ethnocentrism More Common Than Humanitarianism?

A compelling agent-based computer simulation suggests that ethnocentrism, often thought to rely on complex social cognition and learning, may have arisen through biological evolution (Hammond & Axelrod, 2006). From a neutral start, ethnocentric strategies evolve to dominate other possible strategies (selfish, traitorous, and humanitarian) that differentiate patterns of cooperation with in-group...
