Statistical Methods For Inference Of Genetic Networks And Regulatory Modules, Hongzhe Li Mar 2007

Statistical Methods For Inference Of Genetic Networks And Regulatory Modules, Hongzhe Li

UPenn Biostatistics Working Papers

Large-scale microarray gene expression data, motif data derived from promotor sequences, genome-wide chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-chip) data, DNA polymorphism data and epigenomic data provide the possibility of constructing genetic networks or biological pathways, especially regulatory networks. In this paper, we review some new statistical methods for inference of genetic networks and regulatory modules, including a threshold gradient descent procedure for inference of Gaussian graphical models, a sparse regression mixture modeling approach for inference of regulatory modules, and the varying coefficient model for identifying regulatory subnetworks by integrating microarray time-course gene expression data and motif or ChIP-chip data. We present the statistical …

Hiv/Aids In Pakistan: The Battle Begins, Mohammad A. Rai, Haider J. Warraich, Syed H. Ali, Vivek R. Nerurkar Mar 2007

Hiv/Aids In Pakistan: The Battle Begins, Mohammad A. Rai, Haider J. Warraich, Syed H. Ali, Vivek R. Nerurkar

Department of Biological & Biomedical Sciences

Pakistan, the second most populous Muslim nation in the world, has started to finally experience and confront the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The country had been relatively safe from any indigenous HIV cases for around two decades, with most of the infections being attributable to deported HIV positive migrants from the Gulf States. However, the virus finally seems to have found a home-base, as evidenced by the recent HIV outbreaks among the injection drug user community. Extremely high-risk behavior has also been documented among Hijras (sex workers) and long-distance truck drivers. The weak government response coupled with the extremely distressing social demographics …

Diversification Of A University Faculty: Women Faculty In The Mit Schools Of Science And Engineering, Nancy Hopkins Mar 2007

Diversification Of A University Faculty: Women Faculty In The Mit Schools Of Science And Engineering, Nancy Hopkins

New England Journal of Public Policy

A broadly diverse faculty is critical to MIT’s educational mission, and significant efforts have been made to achieve a faculty whose diversity reflects that of the students we train. To assess the success of some of these efforts, I examined the percentage of women faculty in the Schools of Science and Engineering over time. In Science, the increased number (and percentage) of women faculty today is the consequence of: pressures associated with the civil rights movement in the early 1970s; unusual efforts between 1996 and 2000 by former Dean of Science Bob Birgeneau in response to the 1996 Report on …

Particulate Organic Carbon Fluxes Along Upwelling-Dominated Continental Margins: Rates And Mechanisms, Robert C. Thunell, Claudia Benitez-Nelson, Ramon Varela, Yrene Astor, Frank E. Muller-Karger Mar 2007

Particulate Organic Carbon Fluxes Along Upwelling-Dominated Continental Margins: Rates And Mechanisms, Robert C. Thunell, Claudia Benitez-Nelson, Ramon Varela, Yrene Astor, Frank E. Muller-Karger

Marine Science Faculty Publications

Time series sediment trap samples were used to examine the rates and mechanisms of particulate organic carbon (POC) flux at three continental margin locations, Santa Barbara Basin, Cariaco Basin, and Guaymas Basin, marked by seasonal upwelling and high primary production. The mean POC flux in Santa Barbara Basin (0.096 g m−2 d−1) is nearly twice that of Cariaco Basin and 4 times higher than that in Guaymas Basin, with all three sites having POC fluxes significantly higher than the open ocean average (0.007 g m−2 d−1). In Cariaco Basin, the only site with available …

New Directions In Workforce Development: Do They Lead To Gains For Women?, Susan R. Crandall, Surabhi Jain Mar 2007

New Directions In Workforce Development: Do They Lead To Gains For Women?, Susan R. Crandall, Surabhi Jain

New England Journal of Public Policy

In order to achieve gender equality, it is critical to resurrect women’s interests as a driving force in the formulation of workforce development policies and programs. Current workforce strategies are centered on helping economically disadvantaged individuals gain employment in high demand industries that offer opportunities to earn family-sustaining wages. Yet many of these high-growth industries consist of male-dominated occupations, which provide lower earnings and advancement potential for women. Because women continue to be channeled into lower-paying fields, demand-driven workforce policies may result in lower earnings for women. To address gender biases, increased emphasis should be placed on selecting jobs that …

Finding The Fastest Way To Her Heart: Linking Clinical And Policy Pathways, Paula Johnson, Brian R. Schuetz, Shelley M. Stark, Dora Tovar

New England Journal of Public Policy

The Mary Horrigan Connors Center for Women’s Health and Gender Biology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, integrates research, clinical practice, and policy analysis with practical application to emerging women’s health issues. Recently, an interdisciplinary team of practitioners examined pathways to improving women’s heart health. Beginning with the evidence that a heart-healthy diet leads to improved health outcomes for women with cardiovascular disease, the Connors Center team charted a course of intellectual exploration that culminated in a broader community dialogue on how to improve access to healthy and affordable food. Through clinical experiences, research activities, and an ongoing interchange …

Food Webs And Intraguild Predation: Community Interactions Of A Native Mesocarnivore, Craig . M. Thompson, Eric M. Gese Mar 2007

Food Webs And Intraguild Predation: Community Interactions Of A Native Mesocarnivore, Craig . M. Thompson, Eric M. Gese

United States Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services: Staff Publications

Trophic level interactions between predators create complex relationships such as intraguild predation. Theoretical research has predicted two possible paths to stability in intraguild systems: intermediate predators either out compete higher-order predators for shared resources or select habitat based on security. The effects of intraguild predation on intermediate mammalian predators such as swift foxes (Vulpes velox) are not well understood. We examined the relationships between swift foxes and both their predators and prey, as well the effect of vegetation structure on swift fox–coyote (Canis latrans) interactions, between August 2001 and August 2004. In a natural experiment created …


Future Promise For Women In Science, Christine Armett-Kibel Mar 2007

Future Promise For Women In Science, Christine Armett-Kibel

New England Journal of Public Policy

This article examines possible reasons why women are still not making it to the top in the hard sciences in academia. It considers two major difficulties that women face. The first concerns the psychological nature of women, which is alleged to be unsuited to the competitive and aggressive mindset considered necessary for scientific achievement. The second concerns the childbearing and child-nurturing roles of women, which make it difficult for them to conform to the intense, time-consuming demands of an academic career in science. The article argues that many of the qualities associated with the female stereotype are actually human characteristics …


Numbers Are Not Enough: Women In Higher Education In The 21st Century, Sherry H. Penney, Jennifer Brown, Laura Mcphie Oliveria Mar 2007

Numbers Are Not Enough: Women In Higher Education In The 21st Century, Sherry H. Penney, Jennifer Brown, Laura Mcphie Oliveria

New England Journal of Public Policy

Women are now the majority of students in institutions of higher education in the United States, and in many ways women as students and faculty have seen significant progress. But numbers do not tell the whole story. Subtle forms of discrimination continue to exist, and the higher up the pyramid you go, the fewer women are to be found, whether among tenured faculty, as presidents and provosts or as board members and board chairs. Many steps can be taken to improve the situation. Some institutions are recognizing that. We note some positive changes and discuss areas where improvement is needed. …


Walking The Maternal Tightrope: Work And Family In America, Roxanne A. Donovan, Andrew L. Pieper, Allison N. Ponce Mar 2007

Walking The Maternal Tightrope: Work And Family In America, Roxanne A. Donovan, Andrew L. Pieper, Allison N. Ponce

New England Journal of Public Policy

In the last few decades, an unprecedented number of women with children have entered the U.S. workforce. The ability to negotiate the roles of parent and employee is important to the health and financial well-being of these women and their families, but institutional and social barriers impede the process. Using the empirical and theoretical literature on women and work, this article examines these barriers. The authors address the impact of cultural ideals, psychological processes, and public policy on the maternal work-family balance. Several changes that would help create an atmosphere supportive of balance are explored, including increased support for shared …

Submarine Volcanic Morphology Of The Western Galapagos Based On Em300 Bathymetry And Mr1 Side-Scan Sonar, Jennifer B. Glass, D J. Fornari, Hillary F. Hall, Allison A. Cougan, Heidi A. Berkenbosch, Mark L. Holmes, Scott M. White, Giorgio De La Torre Mar 2007

Submarine Volcanic Morphology Of The Western Galapagos Based On Em300 Bathymetry And Mr1 Side-Scan Sonar, Jennifer B. Glass, D J. Fornari, Hillary F. Hall, Allison A. Cougan, Heidi A. Berkenbosch, Mark L. Holmes, Scott M. White, Giorgio De La Torre

Faculty Publications

A compilation of high-resolution EM300 multibeam bathymetric and existing MR1 side-scan sonar data was used to investigate the volcanic morphology of the flanks of the western Galapagos Islands. The data portray an assortment of constructional volcanic features on the shallow to deep submarine flanks of Fernandina, Isabela, and Santiago Islands, including rift zones and groups of cones that are considered to be the primary elements in constructing the archipelagic apron. Ten submarine rift zones were mapped, ranging in length from 5 to 20 km, comparable in length to western Canary Island rift zones but significantly shorter than Hawaiian submarine rift …
