SST gene hypermethylation acts as a pan‐cancer marker for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and multiple other tumors: toward its use for blood‐based diagnosis

Molecular Oncology, 2020
Aberrant DNA methylation is often involved in carcinogenesis. Our initial goal was to identify DNA methylation biomarkers associated with pancreatic cancer.

Between Droughts and Floods: The Seasonal Response of Freshwater Snails in Artificial Reservoirs in the Brazilian Semiarid Region

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We investigate the seasonal dynamics of two freshwater snails, Biomphalaria straminea and Melanoides tuberculata, in artificial reservoirs of the Brazilian semiarid region. Despite regulated hydrology, B. straminea exhibited strong seasonal fluctuations associated with dry periods, while M. tuberculata maintained stable populations throughout the year,

Local functional principal component analysis

, 2007
Covariance operators of random functions are crucial tools to study the way random elements concentrate over their support. The principal component analysis of a random function X is well-known from a theoretical viewpoint and extensively used in ...

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

Functional Analysis and Exterior Calculus on Mixed-Dimensional Geometries [PDF]

, 2019
We are interested in differential forms on mixed-dimensional geometries, in the sense of a domain containing sets of $d$-dimensional manifolds, structured hierarchically so that each $d$-dimensional manifold is contained in the boundary of one or more $d

Atomic-scale disproportionation in amorphous silicon monoxide

Nature Communications, 2016
Amorphous silicon monoxide is known to undergo disproportionation to silicon- and silicon dioxide-like regions, however direct observation of the atomic-scale heterogeneity is still missing.

“Vegan” and “plant-based” claims: risk implications for milk- and egg-allergic consumers in Canada

Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2023
The market share of foods carrying labels suggesting absence of animal ingredients has significantly increased in recent years. The purpose of this study was to document the purchasing behaviour of egg- or milk-allergic consumers vis-à-vis food marketed ...

Infection Models for Pine Wilt Disease on the Basis of Vector Behaviors

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Infection models for pine wilt disease without vector density were built to estimate the transmission coefficient of the pathogenic nematode. The models successfully simulated the annual change in the density of infected trees for four pine stands. ABSTRACT Pine wilt disease is caused by the pinewood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus Steiner et ...

Warped Functional Analysis of Variance [PDF]

, 2013
This article presents an Analysis of Variance model for functional data that explicitly incorporates phase variability through a time-warping component, allowing for a unified approach to estimation and inference in presence of amplitude and time ...
