Current knowledge of amphibian diversity in Sumatra, and its significance for conservation

Oryx
The amphibians of the Indonesian island of Sumatra are poorly known, despite it being recognized as a biodiversity hotspot. For determining conservation priorities, up-to-date knowledge of the state of amphibian diversity in Sumatra is crucial ...

Deep learning cardiac motion analysis for human survival prediction [PDF]

, 2018
Motion analysis is used in computer vision to understand the behaviour of moving objects in sequences of images. Optimising the interpretation of dynamic biological systems requires accurate and precise motion tracking as well as efficient ...

The Association between Vitamin D Receptor Expression and Prolonged Overall Survival in Breast Cancer. [PDF]

, 2012
Summary In this study, we analyzed vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression and survival in a breast cancer patient cohort of 82 breast cancer patients. Immunohistochemical analysis was possible in 91.5% of the patients (75/82). Staining was evaluated using

Warm season escape to deep: habitat range and seasonal movement of sand tiger shark Carcharias taurus in Ogasawara Archipelago, Japan

Endangered Species Research
Temperature-dependent seasonal migrations are well-known in the sand tiger shark Carcharias taurus in Australia and the USA; however, its behavioral ecology in Japan remains unclear due to limited data.

Nonparametric Inference in Mixture Cure Models

Proceedings, 2018
A completely nonparametric method for the estimation of mixture cure models is proposed. Nonparametric estimators for the cure probability (incidence) and for the survival function of the uncured population (latency) are introduced.

On null hypotheses in survival analysis

, 2019
The conventional nonparametric tests in survival analysis, such as the log-rank test, assess the null hypothesis that the hazards are equal at all times. However, hazards are hard to interpret causally, and other null hypotheses are more relevant in many

Nonparametric survival analysis of epidemic data

, 2011
This paper develops nonparametric methods for the survival analysis of epidemic data based on contact intervals. The contact interval from person i to person j is the time between the onset of infectiousness in i and infectious contact from i to j, where
