Fluorescence Intensity Normalisation: Correcting for Time Effects in Large-Scale Flow Cytometric Analysis [PDF]
Advances in Bioinformatics, 2009 A next step to interpret the findings generated by genome-wide association studies is to associate molecular quantitative traits with disease-associated alleles. To this end, researchers are linking disease risk alleles with gene expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL). However, gene expression at the mRNA level is only an intermediate trait and flow

A novel approach for predicting the standardised precipitation index considering climatic factors
Wasit Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2022 Drought modelling is essential to managing water resources in arid regions to limit its impacts. Additionally, climate change has a significant effect on the frequency and intensity of drought.

A comparison on effects of normalisations in the detection of differentially expressed genes
BMC Bioinformatics, 2009 Background Various normalisation techniques have been developed in the context of microarray analysis to try to correct expression measurements for experimental bias and random fluctuations.

Mortality has improved in RA, but we must remain vigilant. Response to: ‘Early intensive treatment normalises excess mortality in ACPA-negative RA but not in ACPA-positive RA’ by Matthijssen et al [PDF]
Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2020 We compliment Matthijssen et al with this highly interesting analysis and results from the Leiden Early Arthritis Clinic. Their mortality results strongly support our findings1 and again emphasise that the focus should be on the excess mortality that emerges after 10 years.

Characterising the space–time structure of rainfall in the Sahel with a view to estimating IDAF curves [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2014 Intensity–duration–area–frequency (IDAF) curves are increasingly demanded for characterising the severity of storms and for designing hydraulic structures.

Normalisation of total body iron load with very intensive combined chelation reverses cardiac and endocrine complications of thalassaemia major [PDF]
British Journal of Haematology, 2010 SummaryCardiac and endocrine disorders are common sequelae of iron overload in transfused thalassaemia patients. Combined chelation with desferrioxamine (DFO) and deferiprone (DFP) is well tolerated and produces an additive/synergistic effect superior to either drug alone.
