متن کاملRank-based inverse normal transformations are increasingly used, but are they merited?
Many complex traits studied in genetics have markedly non-normal distributions. This often implies that the assumption of normally distributed residuals has been violated. Recently, inverse normal transformations (INTs) have gained popularity among genetics researchers and are implemented as an option in several software packages. Despite this increasing use, we are unaware of extensive simulat...
متن کاملSensitization of the gill and siphon withdrawal reflex of Aplysia: multiple sites of change in the neuronal network.
1. Recent studies have emphasized the major contribution of interneuronal transmission to the mediation and learning-associated modulation of the gill and siphon withdrawal (GSW) reflex of Aplysia. We wish to provide more direct support for the hypothesis that inhibitory junctions are crucial sites of plasticity. 2. In parallel experiments we investigated modulation at five major sites of synap...
متن کاملModeling the Potential for Vaccination to Diminish the Burden of Invasive Non-typhoidal Salmonella Disease in Young Children in Mali, West Africa
BACKGROUND In sub-Saharan Africa, systematic surveillance of young children with suspected invasive bacterial disease (e.g., septicemia, meningitis) has revealed non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) to be a major pathogen exhibiting high case fatality (~20%). Where infant vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and Streptococcus pneumoniae has been introduced to prevent invasive disea...
متن کاملModelling the Contributions of Malaria, HIV, Malnutrition and Rainfall to the Decline in Paediatric Invasive Non-typhoidal Salmonella Disease in Malawi
INTRODUCTION Nontyphoidal Salmonellae (NTS) are responsible for a huge burden of bloodstream infection in Sub-Saharan African children. Recent reports of a decline in invasive NTS (iNTS) disease from Kenya and The Gambia have emphasised an association with malaria control. Following a similar decline in iNTS disease in Malawi, we have used 9 years of continuous longitudinal data to model the in...
