Linkage disequilibrium maps and location databases
No full textEffective application of association mapping for complex traits requires characterization of linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns that reflect the dominant process of recombination and its duration in addition to the more subtle influences of mutation, selection, and genetic drift. Maps expressed in linkage disequilibrium units (LDUs) reflect the influences of these factors with the use of a modified version of Malecot’s isolation-by-distance model. As a result, LDU maps are analogous to linkage maps in so far as their provision of an additive metric that is related to recombination and facilitates association-mapping studies. However, unlike linkage maps, LDUs also reflect the partly cumulative effects of multiple historical bottlenecks that account for substantial variations in LD patterns between populations. This chapter provides an overview of the data requirements and methodology used to construct LDU maps, their applications outside association mapping, and their integration into location databases
Recycling of fiber reinforced thermosetting composites
No full textThe recycling process for production and end-of-life fiber reinforced thermoset plastic waste is usually a two-step process: the reclamation of the fibers from the matrix through its degradation and their recovery and remanufacture into new feedstock material or product. The chapter will be opened by an outlook of the current sources of waste in the composite industry. This will comprise a review of the principal fiber reclamation technologies, categorizing them based on the degradation mechanism (pyrolysis or solvolysis), and an overview of the obtainable properties will be provided. The chapter will then focus on the description of the available remanufacturing technologies for reclaimed carbon fibers, into new recycled composite materials. The chapter will also provide an overview of the current industrial landscape

Mapping a gene for rheumatoid arthritis on chromosome 18q21
No full textAlthough single chi-square analysis of the North American Rheumatoid Arthritis Consortium (NARAC) data identifies many single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with p-values less than 0.05, none remain significant after Bonferroni correction. In contrast, CHROMSCAN evades heavy Bonferroni correction and auto-correlation between SNPs by using composite likelihood to model association across all markers in a region and permutation to assess significance. Analysis by CHROMSCAN identifies a 36-kb interval that includes the most significant SNP (msSNP) observed in a 10-Mb target suggested by linkage. Unexpectedly, stratification by gender and age of onset shows that association evidence comes almost entirely from females with age of onset less than 40. Combining evidence from a meta-analysis of linkage studies and three subsets of the NARAC data provides significant evidence for a determinant of rheumatoid arthritis in a 36-kb interval and illustrates the principle that estimates of location and its information are more powerful than estimates of p-values alone

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
