Recently I joined an organization called the World Association of Dental Editors (WAME). I found out about WAME from a medical colleague of mine who has a great deal of editorial experience. I had never heard of it before so I quickly visited their Web site at www.wame.org. WAME is free and open to all editors of peer-reviewed medical journals. As of May 2006, they have more than 1409 members r...

Empirical Bayes models have been shown to be powerful tools for identifying differentially expressed genes from gene expression microarray data. An example is the WAME model, where a global covariance matrix accounts for array-to-array correlations as well as differing variances between arrays. However, the existing method for estimating the covariance matrix is very computationally intensive a...

The Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of MCH and AIDS (IJMA) is a member of the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME). The Editorial Board of IJMA believes it is important that the statement on promoting global health and this accompanying editorial is brought to the attention of our readers. Medical journal editors have a social responsibility to promote global health by publi...

Mr. Tom Lang from USA a distinguished Medical Writer was the first speaker in the...

The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA), and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) are scholarly organizations that have seen an increase in the number of membership applications from both legitimate and non-legitimate publishers and journals. Our organizations have collaborated ...

359 We, the Editors of the Singapore Medical Journal (SMJ) and the Medical Journal of Malaysia (MJM), have noted a number of duplicate submissions to our respective journals over the recent year. This is a dishonest and unethical practice that is deplored by editors of medical and scientific journals. In addition, we feel that punitive measures should be applied to authors found guilty of dupli...

The enrichment of polymetallic sulfide ore is a complex task. Fine grinding carried out to reveal useful minerals, resulting in the formation microparticles. It difficult achieve floatation microparticles and fine minerals are lost with flotation tailings. problem microparticle can be solved by using air bubbles smaller than 50 µmin for process. Water-air microemulsion (WAME)of frothersolution ...

DNA microarray technologies have the capability of simultaneously measuring the abundance of thousands of mRNA-sequences. Analysis of microarray data involves many different steps such as image analysis, background correction, and normaliza-tion, but also more classical statistical analysis such as testing for significant differences between groups of arrays. The work presented in this thesis i...
