Bayesian Identification and Estimation of Growth Mixture Models

Psychometrika
AbstractThis article addresses problematic behaviors of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods for finite mixture models due to what we call degenerate nonidentifiability. We discuss the reasons for these behaviors, propose diagnostics to detect them, and show through simulations that using more informative priors than the vague defaults can mitigate ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Early-life environmental exposures and childhood growth: A comparison of statistical methods.

PLoS ONE, 2018
There is a growing literature that suggests environmental exposure during key developmental periods could have harmful impacts on growth and development of humans. Understanding and estimating the relationship between early-life exposure and human growth

Response surface applied to mixtures of castor bean hull and presscake for organic fertilization of castor bean plants

Agrarian, 2013
Castor bean presscake and hull are the two sub-products resulting from the extraction of castor bean oil. Their use as organic fertilizers has aroused interest of producers who wish to aggregate value to these products and use them rationally. The growth

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Long-term depressive symptom trajectories and related baseline characteristics in primary care patients: Analysis of the PsicAP clinical trial

European Psychiatry
Background There is heterogeneity in the long-term trajectories of depressive symptoms among patients. To date, there has been little effort to inform the long-term trajectory of symptom change and the factors associated with different trajectories. Such

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Modeling the pigs body mass growth and the stressing factors impact on the daily feed intake

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2005
Modeling the body mass growth in fattened pigs by means of the exponential growth function enables to simulate the growth curve from three constants of the gender’s, or the hybrid’s combination, represented by their body mass phenotype: body mass at ...
