Oasis or Mirage ?
This paper will review the design of statistical studies, and comment on the difficulty of drawing causal inferences from non-experimental data. The most basic design is a comparison of rates for two groups of subjects. Subjects in one group get the treatment of interest; subjects in the other group are the controls. The difficulty is ensuring that the groups are similar, apart from the treatment.
متن کاملA Global Perspective on Availability of Security for Costs and Claim in International Arbitration Mirage or Oasis?
Security for costs and security for claim are interim protective measures available during an arbitration. They are sought when one side is concerned that the other side may not have enough money to pay an adverse costs order or satisfy an award made against it. They require the party against whom they are ordered to set aside a sum of money to satisfy any eventual award or costs order. In theo...
متن کاملMIRAGE DNA Transposon Silencing by C. elegans Condensin II Subunit HCP-6: A Masters Thesis
Mobile genetic elements represent a large portion of the genome in many species. Posing a danger to the integrity of genetic information, silencing and structural machinery has evolved to suppress the mobility of foreign and transposable elements within the genome. Condensin proteins – which regulate chromosome structure to promote chromosome segregation – have been demonstrated to function in ...
متن کاملInference of Target Gene Regulation via miRNAs during Cell Senescence by Using the MiRaGE Server
miRNAs have recently been shown to play a key role in cell senescence, by downregulating target genes. Thus, inference of those miRNAs that critically downregulate target genes is important. However, inference of target gene regulation by miRNAs is difficult and is often achieved simply by investigating significant upregulation during cell senescence. Here, we inferred the regulation of target ...
متن کاملThirst modulates a perception.
Does thirst make you more likely to think you see water? Tales of thirsty desert travelers and oasis mirages are consistent with our intuitions that appetitive state can influence what we see in the world. Yet there has been surprisingly little scrutiny of this appetitive modulation of perception. We tested whether dehydrated subjects would be biased towards perceptions of transparency, a commo...
