On the influence of several factors on pathway enrichment analysis
AbstractPathway enrichment analysis has become a widely used knowledge-based approach for the interpretation of biomedical data. Its popularity has led to an explosion of both enrichment methods and pathway databases. While the elegance of pathway enrichment lies in its simplicity, multiple factors can impact the results of such an analysis, which may ...

Accumulation Characteristics of Metals and Metalloids in Plants Collected from Ny-Ålesund, Arctic
Toxic elements can be transported to polar regions by long-range atmospheric transport from mid and low latitudes, leading to enrichment of elements in the polar environment, especially in the Arctic.

Enriched Environments: Facts, Factors, and Fantasies [PDF]
As we prepared to write this chapter and reviewed the varied and sometimes contradictory reactions of some investigators to our reports on effects of environment on brain and behavior, an old story came to mind: A villager was accused of returning a borrowed teapot in poor condition.

A Theoretical Development of the Gender Embodiment of Enrichment: A Study of Gender Norms in Enrichment and Factors Related to Enrichment in a Sample of the Swedish Working Population [PDF]
Enrichment is a phenomenon described as the synergistic and beneficial effects of participating in both work and private life. Far too few studies have acknowledged the role of gender in enrichment. By applying a gender theoretical approach, this article has two aims; first, we aim to study the role of gender in enrichment by examining the factorial ...
