Rare polymorphisms have a significantly greater impact on RC. by Jessica L. Prince (117343)

“…<p>(A) In an exploratory analysis, rare fitness reducing polymorphisms, occurring in less than 10 out of 149 of the sequences tested, were found to decrease fitness to a significantly greater degree than more common fitness decreasing mutations (Mann Whitney U test, p = 0.002). …”

A study of publication trajectories of the Brazilian Computer Science community by MARCELO K. ALBERTINI (7396001)

“…Third, we have found the average trajectory can indeed be described as the canonical rapid increase and slower decrease in productivity. For individual trajectories of senior researchers we have observed only 4.5% of trajectories are well explained by the conventional narrative of rapid rise and gradual decline model. …”
