Comparative Politics and Rational Choice: A Review Essay
(Cambridge University Press (CUP), 1997) -
Comparative Profiling of the Transcriptional Response to Infection in Two Species of Drosophila by Short-read cDNA Sequencing
(BioMed Central, 2009)Background: Homology-based comparisons of the genes involved in innate immunity across many insect taxa with fully sequenced genomes has revealed a striking pattern of gene gain and loss, particularly among genes that ... -
Comparative RNA-Seq based dissection of the regulatory networks and environmental stimuli underlying Vibrio parahaemolyticus gene expression during infection
(Oxford University Press, 2014)Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the leading worldwide cause of seafood-associated gastroenteritis, yet little is known regarding its intraintestinal gene expression or physiology. To date, in vivo analyses have focused on ... -
Comparative Safety and Effectiveness of Anticonvulsants Among Older Adults
(2021-09-08)Anticonvulsant use among older adults has increased 200-fold over the past 25 years.1 In our previous work, we estimated that one in eight older adults in the US are currently receiving anticonvulsants.2 The risk of adverse ... -
Comparative transcriptomics across the prokaryotic tree of life
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Whole-transcriptome sequencing studies from recent years revealed an unexpected complexity in transcriptomes of bacteria and archaea, including abundant non-coding RNAs, cis-antisense transcription and regulatory untranslated ... -
Comparing AMR and SPH Cosmological Simulations. I. Dark Matter and Adiabatic Simulations
(American Astronomical Society, 2005)We compare two cosmological hydrodynamic simulation codes in the context of hierarchical galaxy formation: the Lagrangian smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) code GADGET, and the Eulerian adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) ... -
Comparing and Connecting: Comacchio and the Early Medieval Trading Towns
(Turnhout Brepols Publishers, 2013) -
Comparing Benefits from Many Possible Computed Tomography Lung Cancer Screening Programs: Extrapolating from the National Lung Screening Trial Using Comparative Modeling
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Background: The National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) demonstrated that in current and former smokers aged 55 to 74 years, with at least 30 pack-years of cigarette smoking history and who had quit smoking no more than 15 ... -
Comparing Correlated but Nonoverlapping Correlations
(American Psychological Association, 1996)A common situation in psychological research involves the comparison of two correlations on the same sample of subjects, in which the correlations are nonoverlapping in the sense of having a variable in common (e.g., ru ... -
Comparing Correlated Correlation Coefficients
(American Psychological Association, 1992)The purpose of this article is to provide simple but accurate methods for comparing correlation coefficients between a dependent variable and a set of independent variables. The methods are simple extensions of Dunn & ... -
Comparing Customary Rules of Fairness: Evaluative Practices in Various Types of Peer Review Panels
(University of Chicago Press, 2011) -
Comparing deep learning and concept extraction based methods for patient phenotyping from clinical narratives
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018)In secondary analysis of electronic health records, a crucial task consists in correctly identifying the patient cohort under investigation. In many cases, the most valuable and relevant information for an accurate ... -
Comparing Dualities in the K(n)-local Category
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-10-31)In their work on the period map and the dualising sheaf for Lubin–Tate space, Gross and the second author wrote down an equivalence between the Spanier–Whitehead and Brown–Comenetz duals of certain type n-complexes in the ... -
Comparing Effect Sizes of Independent Studies
(American Psychological Association, 1982)This article presents a general set of procedures for comparing the effect sizes of two or more independent studies. The procedures include a method for calculating the approximate significance level for the heterogeneity ... -
Comparing Entropies in Statistical Zero Knowledge with Applications to the Structure of SZK
(IEEE Computer Society Press, 1999)We consider the following (promise) problem, denoted ED (for Entropy Difference): The input is a pairs of circuits, and YES instances (resp., NO instances) are such pairs in which the first (resp., second) circuit generates ... -
Comparing Hα and H I Surveys as Means to a Complete Local Galaxy Catalog in the Advanced LIGO/Virgo Era
(IOP Publishing, 2013)Identifying the electromagnetic counterparts of gravitational wave (GW) sources detected by upcoming networks of advanced ground-based interferometers will be challenging due in part to the large number of unrelated ... -
Comparing Incomparable Survey Responses: Evaluating and Selecting Anchoring Vignettes
(Oxford University Press, 2007)When respondents use the ordinal response categories of standard survey questions in different ways, the validity of analyses based on the resulting data can be biased. Anchoring vignettes is a survey design technique, ... -
Comparing Mostly-copying and Mark-sweep Conservative Collection
(Association for Computing Machinery, 1998)Many high-level language compilers generate C code and then invoke a C compiler for code generation. To date, most, of these compilers link the resulting code against a conservative mark-sweep garbage collector in order ... -
Comparing Neanderthal and Modern Human Long Bone Loading History from Cross-Sectional Geometry
(John Wiley & Sons, 2003)We evaluate here efforts to compare archaic and modern human limb loading from long bone cross sectional. Recent studies find that cross sectional properties (I, J, Z) calculated from second moments of area (SMA) are similar ...
