Response: platelet transcriptome and proteome—relation rather than correlation
2013
We have demonstrated by a detailed statistical analysis of proteome and transcriptome data of human platelets and human cell lines that protein and transcript abundance in platelets, if at all, are only weakly correlated.[1][1] This analysis appears to be in contradiction to previous claims made
Attitudes toward technological resources in the classroom of the future teachers
2015
The aim of this study is to analyze attitudes future teachers towards technological resources in the classroom. We have considered three dimensions for analysis, the practice in the classroom, student learning and the valuation that future teachers as make their own attitude technological resources. For the statistical analysis used descriptive techniques; t test for comparison of independent groups, and univariate analysis of covariance (ANOVA). The results indicate that attitudes is positive, but we can see that there are some significant differences in gender respects to some of the issues raised.
Statistical Analysis of the (In)efficiency of Bitcoin : A comparison of the weak form efficient market hypothesis in the US and Venezuela
2019
Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2019 Bitcoin is a phenomenon that has received a lot of attentionduringthe last years. Although the literature on the subject has expanded, there is still need for more research. This paper replicates the work of Urquhart (2016) and examines whether there isevidence ofweak form efficiency in the Bitcoin market. He found that the Bitcoin market in the US showed signs of moving towards weak form efficiency. We contribute to the existing literature by adding recentdata and comparing two different markets;the USand Venezuela. To obtain robustness of the results, the analysis is conducted by performing six different statistical …
Has the Introduction of Bitcoin Futures on Regulated Exchanges Decreased Price Volatility?
2019
Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2019 Bitcoin is a tremendously debated phenomenon in the world of finance and in recent the scientific literature on the topic has expanded. In this thesis,the bitcoin to US dollar exchange rate is examined through various conditional variance models to describe its highly volatile nature. We examine whether the introduction of bitcoin futurescontractsin late 2017 has had a decreasing impact on price volatility by estimatingthe unconditional variance. The log-return of the bitcoin exchange rate is analysed,and there is evidence of volatility clustering and time-varying volatility. Consequently, the variance is modelled thro…
Modalitātes lietojums tiešsaistes laikrakstu rakstos Lielbritānijā un ASV par politiskām tēmām
2020
Iepriekšējie pētījumi par modalitātes lietojumu laikrakstu rakstos atklāja, ka žurnālisti mēdz ietekmēt lasītājus un sniegt faktu subjektīvu interpretāciju, kad tiek gaidīts objektīvs notikumu atspoguļojums. Tāpēc šī darba mērķis bija analizēt modalitātes lietojumu septiņpadsmit tiešsaistes laikrakstu rakstos divos Lielbritānijas un divos ASV laikrakstos par Brexit. Pētījumā izmantotās metodes ir diskursa analīze un statistiskā analīze. Rezultāti liecina, ka visvairāk lietotais modālais darbības vārds abu valstu laikrakstos ir will, kas izteica pārliecības nozīmi ar pierādījumu palīdzību, un norādīja, ka priekšroka tiek dota patiesībai. Pārējie modālie darbības vārdi would un could dominēja…

Abstract. The cumulative occurrence of heavy precipitation and flood events during recent years in various Central European locations emphasises the urgent need to improve extreme rainfall observations and forecasts. Precipitation gauges based on a weighing system allow the recording of intense short-term precipitation events with a very high temporal resolution (down to 1 min). In this study, observational data that were collected during the period 2000 to 2016 for 126 stations of two corresponding measuring networks in the Central German state of Hesse were investigated for the first time to answer the following questions: (1) Are the recorded high-resolution precipitation data plausible …
Knowledge and Beliefs About Developmental Dyslexia: A Comparison Between Pre-Service and In-Service Peruvian Teachers
2017
The purpose of this study was to investigate the knowledge, misconceptions, and knowledge gaps of Peruvian pre-service teachers (PSTs) and in-service teachers (ISTs). To do so, 112 PSTs and 113 ISTs completed the Knowledge and Beliefs About Developmental Dyslexia Scale (KBDDS). Results show that ISTs scored significantly higher than PSTs. Moreover, misconceptions and lack of information were higher in PSTs. The most noteworthy misconceptions were that dyslexia is due to poor visual perception and that letter or word reversals are the most important criterion in the identification of dyslexia. Age, years of teaching experience, prior exposure to a child with dyslexia, and self-efficacy were …
Effective field theory search for high-energy nuclear recoils using the XENON100 dark matter detector
2017
International audience; We report on weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) search results in the XENON100 detector using a nonrelativistic effective field theory approach. The data from science run II (34 kg×224.6 live days) were reanalyzed, with an increased recoil energy interval compared to previous analyses, ranging from (6.6–240) keVnr. The data are found to be compatible with the background-only hypothesis. We present 90% confidence level exclusion limits on the coupling constants of WIMP-nucleon effective operators using a binned profile likelihood method. We also consider the case of inelastic WIMP scattering, where incident WIMPs may up-scatter to a higher mass state, and …
Influence of Site and Check Dam Characteristics on Sediment Retention and Structure Conservation in a Mexican River
2020
Previously, in a large river of Mexico regulated by more than 200 check dams, we demonstrated that vegetation cover and channel characteristics were the dominant factors on the structure conditions and capacity to store sediments. This study focuses on other categorical (i.e., check dam type and location, soil texture and land use) and numerical (i.e. water discharge, check dam dimensions) variables, to whom statistical analysis is applied, in order to assess their influence on sediment filling degree and conditions (functional or destroyed) of the check dams in the same river. ANOVA has shown that: (i) check dam type (gabion or stone) and location (headwater, middle or valley reaches), and…
Una nuova teoria per lo studio dei processi di efflusso dagli stramazzi
2011
Il processo di efflusso da uno stramazzo, di notevole interesse per le applicazioni pratiche, viene studiato applicando l’analisi dimensionale e la teoria dell’autosimilitudine incompleta. La nuova scala teorica di efflusso dedotta per gli stramazzi, in parete sottile e grossa e di differente forma geometrica, viene verificata facendo ricorso sia alle misure disponibili in letteratura sia ad apposite sperimentazioni di laboratorio.
