A Model to Predict the Impact of Specification Changes on Chloride-Induced Corrosion Service Life of Virginia Bridge Decks
(Virginia Center for Transportation Innovation and Research, 2002-10)A model to determine the time to first repair and subsequent rehabilitation of concrete bridge decks exposed to chloride deicer salts that recognizes and incorporates the statistical nature of factors affecting the corrosion ... -

Accurate human microsatellite genotypes from high-throughput resequencing data using informed error profiles
(Oxford University Press, 2013-01)Repetitive sequences are biologically and clinically important because they can influence traits and disease, but repeats are challenging to analyse using short-read sequencing technology. We present a tool for genotyping ... -
Africa Knowledge, Data Source, and Analytic Effort (KDAE) Exploration
(Tradoc Analysis Center, 2012-08)The TRADOC Analysis Center (TRAC), Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), and other Department of Defense (DoD) organizations are currently conducting large data capture and analysis efforts on areas all around the world. As ... -
Age influences the thermal suitability of Plasmodium falciparum transmission in the Asian malaria vector Anopheles stephensi
(2020-07-29)Models predicting disease transmission are vital tools for long-term planning of malaria reduction efforts, particularly for mitigating impacts of climate change. We compared temperature-dependent malaria transmission ... -
Age-related variations in the methylome associated with gene expression in human monocytes and T cells
(Springer Nature, 2014-11)Age-related variations in DNA methylation have been reported; however, the functional relevance of these differentially methylated sites (age-dMS) are unclear. Here we report potentially functional age-dMS, defined as ... -
AHRQ series on complex intervention systematic reviews-paper 4: selecting analytic approaches
(2017-10)Background: Systematic reviews of complex interventions can vary widely in purpose, data availability and heterogeneity, and stakeholder expectations. Rationale: This article addresses the uncertainty that systematic ... -
AHRQ series on complex intervention systematic reviews-paper 5: advanced analytic methods
(2017-10)Background and Objective: Advanced analytic methods for synthesizing evidence about complex interventions continue to be developed. In this paper, we emphasize that the specific research question posed in the review should ... -
Alterations in the molecular composition of COVID-19 patient urine, detected using Raman spectroscopic/computational analysis
(PLOS, 2022-07-01)We developed and tested a method to detect COVID-19 disease, using urine specimens. The technology is based on Raman spectroscopy and computational analysis. It does not detect SARS-CoV-2 virus or viral components, but ... -
Applications of Different Weighting Schemes to Improve Pathway-Based Analysis
(Hindawi, 2011-05-22)Conventionally, pathway-based analysis assumes that genes in a pathway equally contribute to a biological function, thus assigning uniform weight to genes. However, this assumption has been proved incorrect, and applying ... -
Arm-specific dynamics of chromosome evolution in malaria mosquitoes
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2011-04-07)Background: The malaria mosquito species of subgenus Cellia have rich inversion polymorphisms that correlate with environmental variables. Polymorphic inversions tend to cluster on the chromosomal arms 2R and 2L but not ... -
Assessing the Early Aberration Reporting System's Ability to Locally Detect the 2009 Influenza Pandemic
(2011-05)The Early Aberration Reporting System (EARS) is used by some local health departments (LHDs) to monitor emergency room and clinic data for disease outbreaks. Using actual chief complaint data from local public health ... -
Assessing the Effects of Individual Augmentation (IA) on Active Component Navy Enlisted and Officer Retention
(Naval Postgraduate School, 2008-08)This report summarizes the results of an analysis of whether individual augmentation (IA) deployment affects retention rates for Navy enlisted personnel and junior officers. The analysis compared retention rates between ... -

Assessing Urban Landscape Variables’ Contributions to Microclimates
(Hindawi, 2015-12-24)The well-known urban heat island (UHI) effect recognizes prevailing patterns of warmer urban temperatures relative to surrounding rural landscapes. Although UHIs are often visualized as single features, internal variations ... -
Association testing for binary trees-A Markov branching process approach
(Wiley, 2022-03-09)We propose a new approach to test associations between binary trees and covariates. In this approach, binary-tree structured data are treated as sample paths of binary fission Markov branching processes (bMBP). We propose ... -
A Bayesian Analysis of Copy Number Variations in Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization Data
(OMICS International, 2015-09-25)Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) has been widely used for detecting genomic copy number variations (CNVs). The central goal of array CGH data analysis is to accurately detect homogeneous regions of log intensity ...
