BACKGROUND We evaluated 25 repolarization-related ECG variables for the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) death in 52 994 postmenopausal women from the Women's Health Initiative study. METHODS AND RESULTS Hazard ratios from Cox regression were computed for subgroups of women with and without cardiovascular disease (CVD). During the average follow-up of 16.9 years, 941 CHD deaths occurred. ...

We highlight a very simple statistical tool for the analysis of financial bubbles, which has already been studied in [1]. We provide extensive empirical tests of this statistical tool and investigate analytically its link with stocks correlation structure. Introduction Forecasting the burst of financial bubbles would be incredibly useful for many players in stock exchanges, including regulators...

This paper reports on an experiment aimed at establishing how phonetic transcriptions for the large CGN corpus can be obtained most efficiently. This experiment explores the po­ tential of an automatically generated transcription (AGT) by comparing an AGT with a reference transcription (Tref) of the same material, to determine whether and how the AGT can be improved to make it more similar to T...

In this work, the effect of hexyl branch content on thermal behavior of a fractionated ethylene/1-octene copolymer with emphasis on high temperatures was investigated. The ethylene/1-octene copolymer was carefully fractionated to different fractions with homogenous hexyl branch (HB) content by preparative temperature rising elution fractionation (P-TREF) method. The P-TREF fractions were therma...

BACKGROUND We evaluated predictors of coronary heart disease (CHD) death and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study. METHODS AND RESULTS The study population included 13 621 men and women 45 to 65 years of age free from manifest cardiovascular disease at entry. Hazard ratios from Cox regression with 95% confidence intervals were computed for 18 dich...

The linearized evaporative light scattering detector (LinELSD) incorporates an inverse power function facilitating the characterization of polymers in solution. To show benefits LinELSD, a versatile liquid chromatograph was built by combining high temperature gel permeation (HT-GPC), fast cooling/heating oven gas (GC), and LinELSD. Apart from main GPC functionality to measure molecular weight d...

In a decentralized system, entities, also known as peers, directly interact with each other and make local autonomous decisions towards their individual goals. In an open decentralized system, there is no single centralized authority that can regulate the entry of peers in the system. As a result, the system may contain malicious peers that try to disrupt the system and carry out attacks on oth...

Transcription of a proto-oncogene c-fos is induced rapidly to high levels by various extracellular stimuli. To explore the molecular mechanism of c-fos gene induction, we established a defined in vitro transcription system for the c-fos promoter that consists of purified activators (SRF, Elk-1, cAMP-responsive element-binding protein, and ATF1), general transcription factors, and RNA polymerase...
