A crop boom is a sudden, nonlinear and intense expansion of a new crop.Despite their large impacts, boom-bust dynamics are not well understood; booms are largely unpredictable and difficult to steer once they unfold.Based on the striking resemblances between land regime shifts and crop booms, we Pet Beds apply complex systems theory, highlighting t
Determinants of QTL Mapping Power in the Realized Collaborative Cross
The Collaborative Cross (CC) is a mouse genetic reference population whose range of applications includes quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping.The design of a CC QTL mapping study involves multiple decisions, including which and how many strains to use, and how many replicates per strain to phenotype, all viewed within the context of hypothesized
Comorbidities in pediatric psoriasis patients: A retrospective single-center study
Background and Design: This study aimed to investigate the effects of the comorbidities on disease severity and outcomes in pediatric psoriasis patients.Materials and Methods: A Lantern total of 366 patients enrolled to the study were ≤18 years old and were followed up between January 2013 and December 2017.Age, gender, family history, locali
Structure and Aggregation Mechanisms in Amyloids
The aggregation of a polypeptide chain into amyloid fibrils and their accumulation and deposition into insoluble plaques and intracellular inclusions is the hallmark of several misfolding diseases known as amyloidoses.Alzheimer′s, Parkinson′s and Huntington’s diseases are some of the approximately 50 amyloid diseases described to
Expectancy-based rhythmic entrainment as continuous Bayesian inference.
When presented with complex rhythmic auditory stimuli, humans are able to track underlying temporal structure (e.g., a "beat"), both covertly and with their movements.This capacity goes far beyond that of a simple entrained oscillator, drawing on contextual and enculturated timing expectations and adjusting rapidly to perturbations in event timing,
