In the last 15 years, genetics researchers have developed new molecular genomic technologies for analysing human differences at the level of DNA. This was soon followed by an explosion of studies that aimed to find genetic explanations for the differential health outcomes between individuals and groups by examining association between DNA and disease.

We appreciate the comments of Fabius et al. (2013) regarding our general parametric geometric model of native aortic valves (AVs) (Haj-Ali et al., 2012). In their letter, concerns were raised that the use of our geometric model of tricuspid aortic valves (TAVs) might not be suitable when applied for bicuspid valves (BAVs) since it may predict a stenotic configuration. We are glad that Fabius et...

We characterize the restrictions of first order Sobolev functions to regular subsets of a homogeneous metric space and prove the existence of the corresponding linear extension operator. Let (X, d, µ) be a metric space (X, d) equipped with a Borel measure µ, which is non-negative and outer regular, and is finite on every bounded subset. In this paper we describe the restrictions of first order ...
