Tucker3 Model for Compositional Data [PDF]

open access: yesCommunications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2015
For the exploratory analysis of three-way data, the Tucker3 is one of the most applied models to study three-way arrays when the data are quadrilinear. When the data consist of vectors of positive values summing to a unit, as in the case of compositional data, this model should consider the specific problems that compositional data analysis brings. The

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

The centered ternary balance scheme: A technique to visualize surfaces of unbalanced three-part compositions

open access: yesDemographic Research, 2021
Background: The ternary balance scheme is a visualization technique that encodes three-part compositions as a mixture of three primary colors. The technique works best if the compositional data are well spread out across the domain but fails to show ...

Compositional analysis of archaeological glasses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
At CoDaWork'03 we presented work on the analysis of archaeological glass compositional data. Such data typically consist of geochemical compositions involving 10-12 variables and approximates completely compositional data if the main component ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

A Novel Method to Visualize the Dietary Macronutrient Composition of Smaller Visceral Fat Accumulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2020
The accumulation of visceral fat is considered a potential cause of a clustering of metabolic disorders including hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia.

The quality of urban air in Barcelona: a new approach applying compositional data analysis methods [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The main goal of this paper is to go some steps further to improve the understanding and manageability of air quality. Quality of atmospheric air in large cities is a matter of great importance because of its impact on the environment and on the health ...

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

Correlation Measures in Metagenomic Data: The Blessing of Dimensionality

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Microbiome analysis has revolutionized our understanding of various biological processes, spanning human health and epidemiology (including antimicrobial resistance and horizontal gene transfer), as well as environmental and agricultural studies.
