Association of the Sirtuin and Mitochondrial Uncoupling Protein Genes with Carotid Plaque by Chuanhui Dong (197539)

“…After adjustment for demographic and vascular risk factors, T-carriers of the SIRT6 SNP rs107251 had an increased risk for carotid plaque (odds ratio, OR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.23–2.37, Bonferroni-corrected p = 0.03) and for a number of plaques (rate ratio, RR = 1.31, 1.18–1.45, Bonferroni-corrected p = 1.4×10⁻⁵), whereas T-carriers of the UCP5 SNP rs5977238 had an decreased risk for carotid plaque (OR = 0.49, 95% CI = 0.32–0.74, Bonferroni-corrected p = 0.02) and plaque number (RR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.52–0.78, Bonferroni-corrected p = 4.9×10⁻⁴). …”

Trends in exome sequencing disease gene discovery papers. by Elizabeth T. Cirulli (242253)

“…The proportion of studies in all three of these categories has been decreasing with time (<i>p</i> = 0.001, 0.002, and 0.08, respectively), and the proportion of studies with co-segregation data that present data consistent with a significant LOD score has tended to decrease as well (<i>p</i> = 0.06; dropped from 53% in 2010/2011 to 27% in 2015; <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.1005852#pgen.1005852.s005" target="_blank">S5 Fig</a>). …”

Video1_Atomistic simulations of dislocation plasticity in concentrated VCoNi medium entropy alloys: Effects of lattice distortion and short range order.AVI by Amin Esfandiarpour (14137128)

“…Also, we find that Vclusters are the main pinning points of dislocations, and With a random distribution of atoms, we find that the alloy composition V_0.33Co_0.17Ni_0.5 displays the largest depinning stress at both 5 and 300 K. …”

Table_1_Adding scent: exploring improvements in pan trapping to monitor pollinators.docx by Madison M. Dunlap (17178190)

“…<p>Our project assessed whether adding floral scents to pan traps would increase the abundance and/or diversity of Hymenoptera sampled or decrease bycatch. We sampled insects using white pan traps containing 0.5 mL of floral scent (linalool, phenylacetaldehyde, limonene, geraniol, benzaldehyde, no scent control) per liter of trapping solution in an interior southern California natural space. …”
