A key question in evaluation of computer models is Does the computer model adequately represent reality? A six-step process for computer model validation is set out in Bayarri et al. [Technometrics 49 (2007) 138–154] (and briefly summarized below), based on comparison of computer model runs with field data of the process being modeled. The methodology is particularly suited to treating the major issues associated with the validation process: quantifying multiple sources of error and uncertainty in ...

Motivated by the statistical evaluation of complex computer models, we deal with the issue of objective prior specification for the parameters of Gaussian processes. In particular, we derive the Jeffreys-rule, independence Jeffreys and reference priors for this situation, and prove that the resulting posterior distributions are proper under a quite general set of conditions. A proper flat prior strategy, based on maximum likelihood estimates, is also considered, and all priors are then compared ...

Ageing is a life-long process characterized by a progressive loss of physical fitness compromising strength, flexibility, and agility. The purpose of this study was to use accelerometry to examine the relationship between sedentary time, light physical activity (LPA), and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with the elderly's physical fitness. Additionally, we aimed to examine the association between the aforementioned variables on older adults who fulfilled global recommendations on physical ...

Two different approaches to the prediction problem are compared employing a realistic example---combustion of natural gas---with 102 uncertain parameters and 76 quantities of interests. One approach, termed bound-to-bound data collaboration (abbreviated to B2B), deploys semidefinite programming algorithms where the initial bounds on unknowns are combined with initial bounds of experimental data to produce new uncertainty bounds for the unknowns that are consistent with the data and, finally, deterministic ...

The problem of calibrating computer models that produce multivariate output is considered, with a particular emphasis on the situation where the model is computationally demanding. The proposed methodology builds on Gaussian process-based response-surface approximations to each of the components of the output of the computer model to produce an emulator of the multivariate output. This emulator is then combined in a statistical model involving field observations, which is then used to produce calibration ...

However, in immunocompetent patients neurosyphilis remains uncommon and accurate diagnosis is challenging as the clinical presentation is unspecific and the validity of supportive laboratory tests is unclear.We describe the case of a 60-year-old man who presented ...

Usually, cows with moderate MW are more efficient in challenging environments, such as those available in the production systems in Brazil. In the present study, the selection index comprises the following traits: conformation, finishing precocity, musculature at weaning (WC, WP, WM) yearling (YC, YP and YM), scrotal circumference at yearling (SC), days to gain 160kg from birth to weaning (D160) and 240kg after weaning ( ...

Both genetic and environmental factors are thought to be causal in gliomagenesis. Several genes have been implicated in glioma development, but the putative role of a major immunity-related gene complex member, immunoglobulin heavy chain γ (IGHG) has not been evaluated. Prior observations that IGHG-encoded γ marker (GM) allotypes exhibit differential sensitivity to an immunoevasion strategy of cytomegalovirus, a pathogen implicated as a promoter of gliomagenesis, has lead us to hypothesize that these ...

Efficient electric activation and action potential propagation in the heart largely depends on gap junction (GJ) channels, formed by connexins (Cx) localized at the intercalated discs (IDs). Therefore, fine-tuning and maintenance of GJ in cardiomyocytes is essential for normal heart function. Several mechanisms have been implicated in the regulation of the amount of Cx43 at the plasma membrane. Results from our lab demonstrated that Nedd4-mediated ubiquitination of Cx43 signals internalization and ...

Increased levels of L-2-hydroxyglutaric acid in body fluids proved the diagnosis of L-2-HGA in all 21 patients.

The MC-CDMA signals (multicarrier coded division multiple access) have strong envelope fluctuations which make them very prone to nonlinear effects. These effects can be both intentional (such as the ones inherent to a nonlinear signal processing for reducing the envelope fluctuations) or not (such as the ones inherent to a nonlinear power amplification). In this paper we present an analytical tool for the performance evaluation of nonlinear effects in MC-CDMA signals which takes advantage of the Gaussian- ...

Abstract Striated muscle activity is always accompanied by oxidative stress (OxStress): the more intense muscle work and/or its duration, the more a redox imbalance may be attained. In spite of cardiac muscle functioning continuously, it is well known that the heart does not suffer from OxStress‐induced damage over a broad physiological range. Although the expression of antioxidant enzymes may be of importance in defending heart muscle against OxStress, a series of combined antioxidant therapeutic ...
