Inhibition of Vesicular Glutamate Uptake by Rose Bengal-Related Compounds: Structure–Activity Relationship
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, Inc., 2005-03)
Synaptic vesicular accumulation of glutamate is a vital initial step in glutamate transmission. We have previously shown that Rose Bengal, a polyhalogenated fluorescein analog, is a potent inhibitor of glutamate uptake ...
A prediction model for colon cancer surveillance data
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.CRC Press, Inc., 2015-08-15)
Improving on analyses of self-reported data in a large-scale health survey by using information from an examination-based survey
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2010-02-28)
Common data sources for assessing the health of a population of interest include large-scale surveys based on interviews that often pose questions requiring a self-report, such as, ‘Has a doctor or other health professional ...
A Fourth Order Scheme for Incompressible Boussinesq Equations
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-04)
A fourth order finite difference method is presented for the 2D unsteady viscous incompressible Boussinesq equations in vorticity-stream function formulation. The method is especially suitable for moderate to large Reynolds ...
An econometric method for estimating population parameters from non‐random samples: An application to clinical case finding
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Centre for Tuberculosis, 2017-09)
The problem of sample selection complicates the process of drawing inference about populations. Selective sampling arises in many real world situations when agents such as doctors and customs officials search for targets ...
Modeling intra-tumor protein expression heterogeneity in tissue microarray experiments
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2008-05-20)
Tissue microarrays (TMAs) measure tumor-specific protein expression via high-density immunohistochemical staining assays. They provide a proteomic platform for validating cancer biomarkers emerging from large-scale DNA ...
Graph Comprehension: Difficulties, Individual Differences, and Instruction.
(2014)
Graphs are pervasive in our daily lives (e.g., newspapers, textbooks, scientific journals, classrooms), and there is an implicit assumption that, although they are not explicitly taught graphical literacy, people are capable ...
Analysis of inquiry materials to explain complexity of chemical reasoning in physical chemistry students’ argumentation
(Springer, Science and Technology Education LibraryWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2017-12)
One aim of inquiry activities in science education is to promote students’ participation in the practices used to build scientific knowledge by providing opportunities to engage in scientific discourse. However, many factors ...
Variable selection in monotone single‐index models via the adaptive LASSO
(SpringerWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2013-09-30)
We consider the problem of variable selection for monotone single‐index models. A single‐index model assumes that the expectation of the outcome is an unknown function of a linear combination of covariates. Assuming ...
How and when does complex reasoning occur? Empirically driven development of a learning progression focused on complex reasoning about biodiversity
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-08)
In order to compete in a global economy, students are going to need resources and curricula focusing on critical thinking and reasoning in science. Despite awareness for the need for complex reasoning, American students ...
