iPRG 2012 Study: Detecting Modified Peptides in a Complex Mixture
2012
Nature uses a wide variety of protein post-translational modifications to regulate protein structure and activity and tandem mass spectrometry has emerged as the most powerful analytical approach to detect these moieties. However, modified peptides present special challenges for characterization. First, they are generally present at sub-stoichiometric levels, meaning that without enrichment strategies samples are dominated by unmodified peptides, so finding the modified peptides may be a challenge. Secondly, the modifications may have unique fragmentation behaviors in collision-induced dissociation (CID), which may need to be considered by database search engines. Finally, if there are mult…
Porcine Model for Deep Superior Epigastric Artery Perforator Flap Harvesting: Anatomy and Technique
2018
BACKGROUND Microsurgical training on rats before starting with clinical practice is a well-established routine. Animal model training is less widespread for perforator flaps, although these flaps represent a technical challenge. Unlike other flaps, they require specific technical skills that need to be adequately trained on a living model 1 : a cadaver is not enough because no bleeding, vessel damage, or vasospasm can be simulated. 2 The purpose of this study was to assess the suitability of the porcine abdomen as a training model for the deep inferior epigastric artery perforator (DIEAP) flap, commonly used in human breast reconstruction. METHODS A female swine (Sus scrofa domesticus, ssp;…

Application of a Bayesian Spatiotemporal Surveillance Method to NYC Syndromic Data
2014
Incorporating prior knowledge (e.g., the spatial distribution of zip codes and background population effects) into a model using Bayesian methods could potentially improve outbreak detection. We adapted a previously described Bayesian model-based spatiotemporal surveillance technique to daily respiratory syndrome counts in NYC Emergency Department data in 2009, the year of the H1N1 influenza pandemic. Citywide, 56 alarms were produced across 15 zip codes, all during days of elevated respiratory visits. Future work includes evaluating our choice of baseline length, considering other alarm thresholds, and conducting a formal evaluation of the method across five syndromes in NYC.
Content and form in English business abstracts and research articles: a corpus-based genre approach
2012
Se han escrito muchos trabajos sobre el resumen y el artículo de investigación, especialmente en los últimos veinte años, aunque pocos dedicados al estudio de estos géneros en el ámbito empresarial, y menos en lo que se refiere a su estructura y a la relación entre ambos. El objetivo principal de este estudio es precisamente incrementar la concienciación y conocimiento de la importancia de escribir buenos resúmenes y artículos de investigación en el ámbito de los negocios y cómo el resumen debe persuadir al lector para que lea el artículo. El artículo de investigación como género ha sido objeto de estudio durante mucho tiempo, siendo reconocido su importante papel en la diseminación del con…
L'audience et l'influence d'une revue mesurée à travers Internet : une application à Finance Contrôle Stratégie
2009
This article aims to show the interest of statistics available on the Internet concerning consultations of abstracts, downloads and citations of articles to assess the attractiveness and influence of a scientific review. This interest is illustrated by the case of the review Finance Contrôle Stratégie on the basis of the statistics provided by Repec and Publish or Perish. Beyond the findings that confirm the good performance of FCS and the usefulness of these statistics for the management of a scientific review, the article also provides insights into the life cycle of an article and the choice of the language of publication.
