Insulin resistance is associated with a defect in protein tyrosine phosphorylation in the insulin signal transduction cascade. PTPase enzyme dephosphorylates the active form of insulin receptor and thus attenuates its tyrosine kinase activity, therefore the need of a potent PTPase inhibitor is the reason for the present Quantitative Structure-Activity relationship (QSAR) was performed. QSAR has...

In a recent article in The Journal of General Psychology, J. B. Hittner, K. May, and N. C. Silver (2003) described their investigation of several methods for comparing dependent correlations and found that all can be unsatisfactory, in terms of Type I errors, even with a sample size of 300. More precisely, when researchers test at the .05 level, the actual Type I error probability can exceed .1...
