Bootstrapping vs. Asymptotic Theory in Property and Casualty Loss Reserving [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
One of the key functions of a property and casualty (P&C) insurance company is loss reserving, which calculates how much money the company should retain in order to pay out future claims.

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Nontobacco Nicotine Dependence Is Associated With Perioperative Complications and Repeat Surgery After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To compare perioperative complications and revision surgery rates between following primary rotator cuff repair among patients with nontobacco nicotine dependence (NTND), no nicotine dependence, and traditional tobacco‐related nicotine dependence.

GLMdenoise: a fast, automated technique for denoising task-based fMRI data

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
In task-based functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), researchers seek to measure fMRI signals related to a given task or condition. In many circumstances, measuring this signal of interest is limited by noise. In this study, we present GLMdenoise,

Likelihood Inference for Models with Unobservables: Another View

open access: yes, 2010
There have been controversies among statisticians on (i) what to model and (ii) how to make inferences from models with unobservables. One such controversy concerns the difference between estimation methods for the marginal means not necessarily having a

Dual Functions of Dietary Rubber Seed Oil Supplementation: Enriching N‐3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Enhancing Antioxidant Capacity in Pekin Ducks

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary RSO supplementation improved growth performance, simultaneously enriched n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n‐3 PUFA), and enhanced antioxidant capacity in Pekin ducks, which suggested that RSO has the potential to be a novel n‐3 PUFA source and an antioxidant for Pekin ducks to generate animal functional foods.

Analytical Study of the Julia Set of a Coupled Generalized Logistic Map

open access: yes, 1998
A coupled system of two generalized logistic maps is studied. In particular influence of the coupling to the behaviour of the Julia set in two dimensional complex space is analyzed both analytically and numerically.

Higher complement C4 gene copy number constitutes a shared genetic risk factor for giant cell arteritis and IgA vasculitis

open access: yesArthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Low copy number (CN) of complement C4 isoforms and high CN of retroviral HERV‐K elements are known risk factors for many immune‐mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs), often showing sex‐biased effects. Here, we assessed whether CN variation within the C4 gene contributes to giant cell arteritis (GCA) and IgA vasculitis (IgAV), two complex ...

Kalman estimator- and general linear model-based on-line brain activation mapping by near-infrared spectroscopy

open access: yesBioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2010
Background Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique that recently has been developed to measure the changes of cerebral blood oxygenation associated with brain activities.

Associations Between Comorbidities, Developmental Status, and Disease Severity in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Multicenter Cross‐Sectional Study in China

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) frequently present with co‐occurring conditions that can influence autism symptom severity and complicate clinical management. However, studies with clinician‐confirmed diagnoses in non‐Western populations remain limited.
