Estimates of functional connectivity using resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (rs-fMRI) are acutely sensitive to artifacts and large scale nuisance variation. As a result much effort is dedicated to preprocessing rs-fMRI data and using diagnostic measures to identify bad scans. One such diagnostic measure is DVARS, the spatial root mean square of the data after temporal differe...

"BioMed Central will be the most significant development for disseminating the results of biomedical researc h in our lifetime." In this article [1], equation (8) is incorrect because it omitted the covariance terms. Let h denote the number of strata, so s = 1,2,...,h. Let T denote transpose, • denote matrix product, and Diagonal Matrix [vector] denote a matrix of all 0's except for vector on t...

The goal of this Masters project is to implement the WRF model with 3D variational assimilation (3DVAR) at MIT. A working version of WRF extends the scope of experimentation to mesoscale problems in both real and idealized scenarios. A state-of-the-art model and assimilation package can now be used to conduct science or as a benchmark to compare new methods with. The second goal of this project...

Although the genus Saccharomyces has been thoroughly studied, some species in the genus has not yet been accurately resolved; an example is S. bayanus, a taxon that includes genetically diverse lineages of pure and hybrid strains. This diversity makes the assignation and classification of strains belonging to this species unclear and controversial. They have been subdivided by some authors into...

TRUCTURAL AND HOUSEHOLD PEST S CONTROL in the United States requires annual expenditures of hundreds of millions of dollars and the services of 27,000 licensed pest control operators. Preventive measures against structural and household pests should be taken during the construction of a building, because such measures are most effective and economical at that time. Preventive measures fall into...

Molecular studies on scabies, a disease of considerable human and veterinary significance, have been limited because of the difficulty of obtaining the causative organism Sarcoptes scabiei, the "itch mite." We have used skin from the bedding of crusted scabies patients as a source of mites for the construction of libraries of cDNAs from S. scabiei var. hominis in the bacteriophage lambda vector...

The histological and electron microscopic structure of eleven cases of nephrotic syndrome due to acquired syphilis is presented. It was observed that in addition to the usual glomerular cell proliferation, the basement membrane showed a variety of changes including different types of electron dense granular deposits. Such ultras-tructural changes suggest an immune pathogenesis responsible for s...
