MOTIVATION Microarray data appear particularly useful to investigate mechanisms in cancer biology and represent one of the most powerful tools to uncover the genetic mechanisms causing loss of cell cycle control. Recently, several different methods to employ microarray data as a diagnostic tool in cancer classification have been proposed. These procedures take changes in the expression of parti...

Ontology is a key factor for enabling interoperability across heterogeneous systems, services and users. One of the most challenging tasks in its use is ontology construction. However, experts usually represent the same knowledge domain by the use of different ontologies that can differ in structure, concepts, relations and attributes. Therefore, ontology could lose its main feature: allowing t...

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal-dominant disease characterized by the development of hundreds of adenomatous polyps of the colorectum. Approximately 80% of FAP patients can be shown to have truncating mutations of the APC gene. To determine the cause of FAP in the other 20% of patients, MAMA (monoallelic mutation analysis) was used to independently examine the status of eac...

The beginnings of the first animal model appreciated for its macroscopic and histological similarity to human colorectal carcinoma (CRC) extend to 1963, when Laqueur discovered that rats fed cycasin, a plant product, developed intestinal cancer. The active substance was identified and soon a similar compound, methylazoxymethanol acetate (MAMA) was synthesized that was more effective than the na...

The low dispersion STIS spectrophotometric flux calibration must account for all instrumental non-linearities and all changes in sensitivity with time and temperature. An empirical algorithm for CCD Charge Transfer Efficiency (CTE) is presented along with the wavelength dependent sensitivity changes. Precise STIS spectrophotometry includes corrections for CTE losses as large as 20% for faint si...

De forma paralela al desarrollo de los aspectos clínicos del asesoramiento en mujeres con historia familiar de cáncer de mama, ha habido una creciente necesidad de identificar las secuelas psicológicas de averiguar el riesgo, el examen genético y la cirugía profiláctica mamaria. La organización y la estructura de las Unidades de Consejo Genético varían ampliamente dentro del ámbito nacional y a...

Concepts are highly theoretical entities. One cannot study them empirically without committing oneself to substantial preliminary assumptions. Among the competing theories of concepts and categorization developed by psychologists in the last thirty years, the implicit theoretical assumption that what falls under a concept is determined by description ("descriptionism") has never been seriously ...

The STIS echelle spectra obtained during the Early Release Observations (Heap et al. 1997, Walborn et al. 1997, Jenkins et al. 1997) have non-zero residuals in the cores of saturated interstellar lines, indicating the need for a scattered light correction. A rough measure of the magnitude of the needed correction is given in Figures 1 and 2, which show the ratio of the interorder to the in-orde...

Using word onset priming with early learned words, we tracked access to phonological representations and predictive phonological processing at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after birth. Event-Related Potentials (ERPs) were recorded while participants heard German word onsets (primes) followed by disyllabic spoken words (targets). Primes and target onsets were either congruent or incongruent (ma - Ma...
