MOTIVATION Gene expression profiling is an important tool for gaining insight into biology. Novel strategies are required to analyze the growing archives of microarray data and extract useful information from them. One area of interest is in the construction of gene association networks from collections of profiling data. Various approaches have been proposed to construct gene networks using pr...

BACKGROUND Improving patient safety is an increasing priority for surgeons and hospitals since sentinel events can be catastrophic for patients, caregivers, and institutions. Patient safety initiatives aimed at creating a safe operating room (OR) culture are increasingly being adopted, but a reliable means of measuring their impact on front-line providers does not exist. METHODS We developed ...

Paper aims This study aimed to analyze how the satisfaction level of public transport (PT) users is influenced by their socioeconomic characteristics. Originality The analysis variables influence through association between MANOVA and exploratory still not explored, especially in Brazil medium-sized cities, which represent majority Brazilian cities. Research method Data collection was carried o...

This paper discusses the computation of exact powers for Roy’s test in multivariate analysis variance (MANOVA). We derive an expression largest eigenvalue a singular noncentral Beta matrix terms product zonal polynomials. The numerical that distribution is conducted by algorithm expands polynomials as linear combination Furthermore, we provide form convenient calculations under alternative.

Comparar cuatro estrategias análisis que usan agrícolas evaluaciones a través del tiempo. Materiales y métodos. Se utilizaron datos un experimento donde evaluó efecto distintas fuentes fertilizante nitro...

The purpose of the present research was to translate into Spanish and analyze the psychometricA properties of the Situational Motivation Scale (SIMS). The participants were 373 undergraduate students (126 males and 247 females). Factor validity was tested via confirmatory factor analysis. Based on factor loadings and modification indexes, the SIMS was reduced to a 14-item model. This respecific...

Quantitative shape comparison is a fundamental problem in computer vision, geometry processing and medical imaging. In this paper, we present a spectral graph wavelet approach for shape analysis of carpal bones of the human wrist. We employ spectral graph wavelets to represent the cortical surface of a carpal bone via the spectral geometric analysis of the Laplace-Beltrami operator in the discr...
