An intracellular transporter mitigates the CO2‐induced decline in iron content in Arabidopsis shoots
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study identifies a gene encoding a transmembrane protein, MIC, which contributes to the reduction of shoot Fe content observed in plants under elevated CO2. MIC is a putative Fe transporter localized to the Golgi and endosomal compartments. Its post‐translational regulation in roots may represent a potential target for improving plant nutrition ...

A Bivariate Extension of the $U$ Statistic
The Annals of Mathematical Statistics, 1951 Let $x, y$, and $z$ be three random variables with continuous cumulative distribution functions $f, g$, and $h$. In order to test the hypothesis $f = g = h$ under certain alternatives two statistics $U, V$ based on ranks are proposed. Recurrence relations are given for determining the probability of a given $(U, V)$ in a sample of $l x$'s, $m y$'s, $n ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) lacks iodide uptake ability due to MAPK activation increasing the expression of the histone methyltransferase EZH2, which represses thyroid differentiation genes (TDGs) such as the sodium iodide symporter (NIS). Dual inhibition of MAPK (U0126) and EZH2 (EPZ6438/Tazemetostat) reverses this mechanism, thus restoring TDG ...

A U-Statistic for Testing the Lack of Dependence in Functional Partially Linear Regression Model
MathematicsThe functional partially linear regression model comprises a functional linear part and a non-parametric part. Testing the linear relationship between the response and the functional predictor is of fundamental importance.

Turbulent characteristics of saltation and uncertainty of saltation model parameters [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 It is widely recognised that saltation is a turbulent process, similar to other transport processes in the atmospheric boundary layer. Due to a lack of high-frequency observations, the statistic behaviour of saltation is so far not well understood. In

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Interpreting Kendall’s Tau and Tau-U for single-case experimental designs
Cogent Psychology, 2018 Tau (τ), a nonparametric rank order correlation statistic, has been applied to single-case experimental designs with promising results. Tau-U, a family of related coefficients, partitions variance associated with changes in trend and level.

Ranking and Empirical Minimization of U-statistics
The Annals of Statistics, 2008 The problem of ranking/ordering instances, instead of simply classifying them, has recently gained much attention in machine learning. In this paper we formulate the ranking problem in a rigorous statistical framework. The goal is to learn a ranking rule for deciding, among two instances, which one is "better," with minimum ranking risk.
