At least 40 QTL studies have been reported in pigs (Andersson et al., 1994 a,b; Andersson-Eklund et al., 1998; Beeckmann, 2000; Bidanel et al., 2001; Cassady et al., 2001; Casas-Carrillo et al, 1997; Ciobanu et al, 2001; De Koning et al., 1999; De Koning et al., 2000; De Koning et al., 2001a,b; Desautes et al., 2002; Edfors-Lilja et al., 1998; Geldermann et al., 1999; Grindflek et al., 2001; Ha...

In the life of a human being, the early neonatal period is the most prone to life-threatening events. After birth, following the transition from the intrato the extra–uterine environment, babies experience dramatic hemodynamic changes. Once babies begin life in the extrauterine environment, they must regulate their own homeostasis in order to survive. Preterm, low birth weight, newborn are even...

Background The Electronic Health Record (EHR) lies at the heart of NHS plans for integrated patient care (Jones, 2004). Building on the partners’ studies of medical record keeping practices and inter-organisational communication (Hartswood et al., 2003), methodologies for userled development (Hartswood et al., 2002), the use of paper in knowledge work (Sellen and Harper, 2001), pattern language...

Recently, there has been much interest in reverse engineering genetic networks from time series data. In this paper, we show that most of the proposed discrete time models — including the boolean network model [Kau93, SS96], the linear model of D’haeseleer et al. [DWFS99], and the nonlinear model of Weaver et al. [WWS99] — are all special cases of a general class of models called Dynamic Bayesi...

The rodent dorsal skin fold model is used routinely as a means to study changes in microvasculature flow and architecture (Barton et al., 2001; Friesenecker et al., 1994; Gourgouliatos et al., 1990; Mordon et al., 1997; Tsuzuki et al., 2000; Vargas et al., 2001; Wettstein et al., 2003). A method for high spatial and temporal resolution imaging of blood flow dynamics is required to provide objec...
