In her June 12, 2013 interview with Martha Manning, Shannon Simpson detailed her time as an undergraduate student at Winthrop from 1995-1999. Discussed are details of Simpson's life as a student - residence halls, classes, meals...
In this issue, Zhang et al. (2017) report the birth of a healthy boy after mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT) by spindle transfer to prevent transmission of mitochondrial disease from mother to child. The case was first...
Comparative judgement (CJ) is often said to be more suitable for judging exam questions inviting extended responses, as it is easier for judges to make holistic judgements on a small number of large, extended tasks than...
The offshore wind energy sector has rapidly expanded over the past two decades, providing a renewable energy solution for coastal nations. Sector development has been led in Europe, but is growing globally. Most...
When completing a comparative judgment (CJ) exercise, judges are asked to make holistic decisions about the quality of the work they are comparing. A key consideration is the validity of expert judgements. This article...
A binary contingency table is an m × n array of binary entries with row sums r = (r1,..., rm) and column sums c = (c1,..., cn). The configuration model generates a contingency table by considering ri tokens of type 1 for each...
Rationale: Genome-wide association studies have identified genetic loci associated with insulin resistance (IR) but pinpointing the causal genes of a risk locus has been challenging. Objective: To identify candidate causal genes...

The primitive ontology approach to quantum mechanics seeks to account for quantum phenomena in terms of a distribution of matter in three-dimensional space (or four-dimensional spacetime) and a law of nature that describes its...

Antibiotic resistance has been an increasing issue over the past several years. This research proposes a new drug delivery method using carbon nanotubes and tetracycline. Tetracycline is attached to the carbon nanotubes and...
During the second half of the nineteenth century, land frontiers became areas of unique significance for surveyors in colonial India. These regions were understood to provide the most stringent tests for the men, instruments...

PURPOSE: Previous studies using the WHOQOL measures have demonstrated that the relationship between individual items and the underlying quality of life (QoL) construct may differ between cultures. If unaccounted for, these...
AbstractA model for vibrational and rotational excitations of an intrinsic tetrahedral structure of the Oxygen-16 nucleus has been investigated, building on classic work of...
