Associations of genetic and infectious risk factors with coronary heart disease

Jacques Fellay, Flavia Aurelia Shoko Hodel, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Zhi Ming Xu, Roxane De La Harpe

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the most pressing health problems of our time and a major cause of preventable death. CHD results from complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Using multiplex serological testing for persistent ...

A Probabilistic Physics-Based Seismic Hazard Model for the Alborz Region, Iran

Alireza Khodaverdian

The seismic activity rate is one of the most significant factors in seismic hazard modeling. Although it is usually estimated from observed seismicity, a complete picture of the possible earthquakes is not always available since catalogs of the observed ea ...

Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Neighborhoods Face Increased Persistence of SARS-CoV-2 Clusters

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, David Nicolas De Ridder

Objective: To investigate the association between socioeconomic deprivation and the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 clusters. ...

Contact process under renewals II

Thomas Mountford

We continue the study of renewal contact processes initiated in a companion paper, where we showed that if the tail of the interarrival distribution mu is heavier than t(-alpha) for some alpha < 1 (plus auxiliary regularity conditions) then the critical va ...

The miR-96 and RAR gamma signaling axis governs androgen signaling and prostate cancer progression

Gerard Llimos Aubach

Expression levels of retinoic acid receptor gamma (NR1B3/RARG, encodes RAR gamma) are commonly reduced in prostate cancer (PCa). Therefore, we sought to establish the cellular and gene regulatory consequences of reduced RAR gamma expression, and determine ...

Interferon lambda 3/4 polymorphisms are associated with AIDS-related Kaposi's sarcoma

Jacques Fellay, Patrick Taffe

Background: Kaposi's sarcoma, the most common AIDS-related cancer, represents a major public concern in resource-limited countries. Single nucleotide polymorphisms within the Interferon lambda 3/4 region (IFNL3/4) determine the expression, function of IFNL ...

Metabolic Tumor Volume and Total Lesion Glycolysis in Oropharyngeal Cancer Treated With Definitive Radiotherapy: Which Threshold Is the Best Predictor of Local Control?

Adrien Raphaël Depeursinge

Purpose In the context of oropharyngeal cancer treated with definitive radiotherapy, the aim of this retrospective study was to identify the best threshold value to compute metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and/or total lesion glycolysis to predict local-region ...

Comparative study of joint analysis of microarray gene expression data in survival prediction and risk assessment of breast cancer patients

Haleh Yasrebi

Microarray gene expression data sets are jointly analyzed to increase statistical power. They could either be merged together or analyzed by meta-analysis. For a given ensemble of data sets, it cannot be foreseen which of these paradigms, merging or meta-a ...

Great Balls of Fire: A probabilistic approach to quantify the hazard related to ballistics – A case study at La Fossa volcano, Vulcano Island, Italy

Pierino Lestuzzi

We present a probabilistic approach to quantify the hazard posed by volcanic ballistic projectiles (VBP) and their potential impact on the built environment. A model named Great Balls of Fire (GBF) is introduced to describe ballistic trajectories of VBPs a ...

New Developments in Rock Fall Hazard Assessment and Zoning: An Application of the Cadanav Methodology

Vincent Labiouse, Jacopo Maria Abbruzzese

Rock fall hazard assessment and zoning are very important for an appropriate land use planning in mountainous areas. However, they are complex topics, and current methodologies adopted for producing zoning maps do not provide satisfactory results, due to a ...

Sliced inverse regression for survival data

Stephan Morgenthaler, Maya Shevlyakova

We apply the univariate sliced inverse regression to survival data. Our approach is different from the other papers on this subject. The right-censored observations are taken into account during the slicing of the survival times by assigning each of them w ...

Methodology to account for uncertainties and tradeoffs in pharmaceutical environmental hazard assessment

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Sylvain Coutu

Many pharmaceutical products find their way into receiving waters, giving rise to concerns regarding their environmental impact. A procedure was proposed that enables ranking of the hazard to aquatic species and human health due to such products. In the pr ...

Toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic modelling of survival of Gammarus pulex in multiple pulse exposures to propiconazole: model assumptions, calibration data requirements and predictive power

Kristin Schirmer

Toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic (TKTD) models quantify the time-course of internal concentration, which is defined by uptake, elimination and biotransformation (TK), and the processes which lead to the toxic effects (TD). TKTD models show potential in predicti ...

On the hazard rate and reversed hazard rate orderings in two-component series systems with active redundancies

The lifetimes of two-component series systems with two active redundancies are compared using the hazard rate and the reversed hazard rate orders. We study the problem of where to allocate the spares in a system to obtain the best configuration. We compare ...

Travel and activity time allocation: An empirical comparison between eight cities in Europe

Vincent Kaufmann

A study of daily time allocation to travel and out-of-home activity is conducted across eight European cities over three countries: France (Lyon, Grenoble, Strasbourg and Rennes), Switzerland (Geneva, Bern and Zurich) and Belgium (Brussels), based on indiv ...

Can survival prediction be improved by merging gene expression data sets?

Philipp Bucher, Haleh Yasrebi

BACKGROUND: High-throughput gene expression profiling technologies generating a wealth of data, are increasingly used for characterization of tumor biopsies for clinical trials. By applying machine learning algorithms to such clinically documented data set ...
