Complex clustered networks arise in biological, social, physical, and technological systems, and the synchronous dynamics on such networks have attracted recent interests. Here we investigate system-size dependence of the synchronizability of these networks. Theoretical analysis and numerical
Recent experiments have demonstrated the generation of widely spaced parametric sidebands that can evolve into "clustered" optical frequency combs in Kerr microresonators. Here we describe the physics that underpins the formation of such clustered comb states. In particular, we show that the phase
We study Strauss's model of a network with clustering and present an analytic mean-field solution which is exact in the limit of large network size. Previous computer simulations have revealed a degenerate region in the model's parameter space in which triangles of adjacent edges clump together to
This article considers clinical trials in which the efficacy measure is taken from several sites within each patient, such as the alveolar bone height of the tooth sites, or bone mineral densities of the lumbar spine sites. Since usually only a small portion of these sites will exhibit changes, the
The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is a popular tool to evaluate and compare the accuracy of diagnostic tests to distinguish the diseased group from the nondiseased group when test results from tests are continuous or ordinal. A complicated data setting occurs when multiple tests are
The AUC (area under ROC curve) is a commonly used metric to assess discrimination of risk prediction rules; however, standard errors of AUC are usually based on the Mann-Whitney U test that assumes independence of sampling units. For ophthalmologic applications, it is desirable to assess risk
The risk difference scale is often of primary interest when evaluating public health impacts of interventions on binary outcomes. However, few investigators report findings in terms of additive interaction, probably because the models typically used for binary outcomes implicitly measure interaction
Sequence-specific interactions of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) with their target transcripts are essential for post-transcriptional gene expression regulation in mammals. However, accurate prediction of RBP motif sites has been difficult because many RBPs recognize short and degenerate sequences.
The authors report a case of a 46-year-old woman who was checked by integrated ultrasound examination, i.e. transabdominal and transvaginal, and by abdominopelvic CAT. The examinations, ascertained the presence of a probably malignant, voluminous, ovarian, multilobate abdominopelvic neoplasia. On
BACKGROUND
Spontaneous cervical artery dissection (sCAD) in multiple neck arteries (polyarterial sCAD) is traditionally thought to represent a monophasic disorder suggesting nearly simultaneous occurrence of the various intramural hematomas. Its incidence ranges from 10 to 28%. The recurrence rate
DNA damage and mutations induced by oxidative stress are associated with various different human pathologies including cancer. The facts that most human tumors are characterized by large genome rearrangements and glutathione depletion in mice results in deletions in DNA suggest that reactive oxygen
Structural variation and single-nucleotide variation of the complement factor H (CFH) gene family underlie several complex genetic diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (AHUS). To understand its diversity and evolution, we performed
OBJECTIVE
There is much interest in the development of a cellular therapy for the repair or regeneration of degenerate intervertebral discs (IVDs) utilising autologous cells, with some trials already underway. Clusters of cells are commonly found in degenerate IVDs and are formed via cell
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the pathological features and causes of sudden death clustered in family or village in Yunnan province so as to provide the morphological basis for exploring its etiology and medical intervention.
METHODS
Autopsy was performed on 29 cases of clustered in family or village in
Clusters of pathological granular structures appear and progressively increase in number with age in the hippocampus of several mice strains, markedly in the senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 mice. In the present work, we performed an ultrastructural study of these granules paying special
