Due to the increased availability of both neuroscience methods and theories, Information Systems (IS) scholars have begun to investigate the potential of neuroscience for IS research. This new field of research is referred to as NeuroIS. Moreover, large technology companies (e.g., Microsoft and Philips) started research programs to evaluate the potential of neuroscience for their business. The ...

Infantile nystagmus (IN) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder arising from variants of genes expressed within the developing retina and brain. IN presents a diagnostic challenge and patients often undergo numerous investigations. We aimed to develop and assess the utility of a next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel to enhance the diagnosis of IN. We identified 336 genes associated with IN fr...

Most individuals throughout the Americas are admixed descendants of Native American, European, and African ancestors. Complex historical factors have resulted in varying proportions of ancestral contributions between individuals within and among ethnic groups. We developed a panel of 446 ancestry informative markers (AIMs) optimized to estimate ancestral proportions in individuals and populatio...

The aim of this paper is to empirically investigate the determinants of tourism demand by utilizing panel data for the period of 1995-2011 from top 20 countries sending tourists to Turkey. Econometric results obtained from panel cointegration analysis show that macroeconomic factors as such income, prices, supply capacity, exchange rate and political stability play a significant role in determi...

This paper studies the effects of financial integration on economic growth using an international panel data of 83 countries from 1974-2007. The effects of financial integration on economic growth differ considerably, depending on the type of external assets and liabilities as well as on the characteristics of countries that experience financial integration. In particular, when we break down ex...

Available online 23 July 2010 We investigate the effectiveness of capital controls in insulating economies from currency crises, focusing in particular on both direct and indirect effects of capital controls and how these relationships may have changed over time in response to global financial liberalization and the greater mobility of international capital. We predict the likelihood of currenc...

Michael Kozuch put forward the final question, which dealt with hardware innovation possibilities. Elliott believed heterogeneity was an important step forward, with network processors and FPGAs finding their way onto chip in the future. Glenn lightheartedly routed the question to the Google guys to put forward their demands and requirements to the academics, with reference to the panel discuss...

We evaluated a strategy in which the scores of markers untyped in a low-density experimental panel were imputed on the basis of data from a high-density reference panel, in its application to whole-genome genotyping of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) breeding lines. Using a barley core set consisting of 98 lines genotyped with 3205 markers (high-density reference panel), we imputed marker scores un...
