f-divergence cutoff index to simultaneously identify differential expression in the integrated transcriptome and proteome
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016)The ability to integrate 'omics' (i.e., transcriptomics and proteomics) is becoming increasingly important to the understanding of regulatory mechanisms. There are currently no tools available to identify differentially ... -
Fabrication of Myogenic Engineered Tissue Constructs
(Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2009)Despite the fact that electronic pacemakers are life-saving medical devices, their long-term performance in pediatric patients can be problematic owing to the restrictions imposed by a child's small size and their inevitable ... -
Face processing improvements in prosopagnosia: successes and failures over the last 50 years
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)Clinicians and researchers have widely believed that face processing cannot be improved in prosopagnosia. Though more than a dozen reported studies have attempted to enhance face processing in prosopagnosics over the last ... -
Face recognition: a model specific ability
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)In our everyday lives, we view it as a matter of course that different people are good at different things. It can be surprising, in this context, to learn that most of what is known about cognitive ability variation across ... -
