The groundnut leafminer (Aproaerema modicella), has been reported from east African countries since 1998 and from South Africa since 2000. The study aimed at determining the biology and management of groundnut leafminer (GLM) in South Africa. In a survey, 10 parasitic Hymenoptera species were identified. Two hyperparasitoids were also recorded for the first time in South Africa. GLM flight acti...

We have previously reported that chloroethyl nitrosourea and nitrogen mustard bone marrow toxicity can be selectively reduced by placement of the cytotoxic group on specific positions of a glucose molecule. We have now synthesized and evaluated a new drug in which the mustard cytotoxic group is attached to the carbon-6 position of galactose (C6-GLM). C6-GLM, administered i.p. as a single 10% le...

A statistical parameter map of fMRI group analyses relies on the assumptions of the General Linear Model (GLM). The assumptions at the single subject level are that the noise is stationary and unbiased for every voxel of every subject. In the mixed level model, the group level GLM assumes that all subjects are drawn randomly from a population, and that the estimates brought up from the single s...

PMC13 ESTIMATING COST-OF-ILLNESS USING GENERALIZED LINEAR MODELS: AN ALTERNATIVETOTHE SMEARING APPROACH Exuzides A, Colby C, Spalding JR ICON Clinical Research, San Francisco, CA, USA, Astellas Pharma US, Deerfield, IL, USA OBJECTIVES: Estimation of cost-of-illness typically involves the analysis of skewed medical costs that include large outliers. Log transformations are frequently used to ove...

In this paper, we try to solve the problem of temporal link prediction in information networks. This implies predicting the time it takes for a link to appear in the future, given its features that have been extracted at the current network snapshot. To this end, we introduce a probabilistic nonparametric approach, called Non-Parametric Generalized Linear Model (NP-GLM), which infers the hidden...

Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is a variant of functional near infrared spectroscopy and has the capability of mapping or reconstructing three dimensional (3D) hemodynamic changes due to brain activity. Common methods used in DOT image analysis to define brain activation have limitations because the selection of activation period is relatively subjective. General linear model (GLM)-based anal...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Identification of salvageable penumbra tissue by dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging is a valuable tool for acute stroke patient stratification for treatment. However, prior studies have not attempted to combine the different perfusion maps into a predictive model. In this study, we established a multiparametric perfusion imaging model and cross-val...

The major aim of the current paper is to expand on the practice elements of the Good Lives Model-Comprehensive (GLM-C) of offender rehabilitation and to provide a detailed examination of its assessment and treatment implications. First we discuss the notion of rehabilitation and the qualities a good theory of rehabilitation should possess. Second, the principles, etiological assumptions, and ge...

Arterial spin labeling techniques can yield quantitative measures of perfusion by fitting a kinetic model to difference images (tagged-control). Because of the noisy nature of the difference images investigators typically average a large number of tagged versus control difference measurements over long periods of time. This averaging requires that the perfusion signal be at a steady state and n...
