A Bayesian Model For Cross-Study Differential Gene Expression, Robert B. Scharpf, Hakon Tjelemeland, Giovanni Parmigiani, Andrew B. Nobel

Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers

In this paper we define a hierarchical Bayesian model for microarray expression data collected from several studies and use it to identify genes that show differential expression between two conditions. Key features include shrinkage across both genes and studies; flexible modeling that allows for interactions between platforms and the estimated effect, and for both concordant and discordant differential expression across studies. We evaluated the performance of our model in a comprehensive fashion, using both artificial data, and a "split-sample" validation approach that provides an agnostic assessment of the model's behavior not only under the null hypothesis but also under a …

Decomposition Of Regression Estimators To Explore The Influence Of "Unmeasured" Time-Varying Confounders, Yun Lu, Scott L. Zeger

Johns Hopkins University, Dept. of Biostatistics Working Papers

In environmental epidemiology, exposure X and health outcome Y vary in space and time. We present a method to diagnose the possible influence of unmeasured confounders U on the estimated effect of X on Y and to propose several approaches to robust estimation. The idea is to use space and time as proxy measures for the unmeasured factors U. We start with the time series case where X and Y are continuous variables at equally-spaced times and assume a linear model. We define matching estimator b(u)s that correspond to pairs of observations with specific lag u. Controlling for a smooth …

Animal License Fees. Statute.

Initiatives

Mandates that all cities, counties and governmental entities within the state of California are prohibited from charging any animal licensing or permit fees in excess of $50.00. Entitles senior citizens and Medicare and Medi-Cal recipients to a 50 percent fee reduction. Prohibits localities from enforcing local law conflicting with initiative statute. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Unknown net revenue loss or gain to local governments depending on the number of animals licensed under the measure. (Initiative 07-0057.) (Full Text)

Stray And Owner-Relinquished Animals. Statute.

Requires funds collected from dog license revenues to be used for free and low-cost animal sterilization and medical assistance programs. Requires that most animals adopted from specified agencies be spayed or neutered prior to adoption. Creates reporting, tracking, and notification requirements. Establishes private enforcement authority. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of …

Prohibition On Placing Information Or Identification Device Under The Skin Of Humans Or Animals. Constitutional Amendment.

Initiatives

Forbids the State or any political subdivision from enacting a law that would mandate the implantation of any type of information, device containing information, or ink, under the skin of a human or animal, for any purpose. Provides that refusing to accept such a device may not be grounds for denial of employment, education, insurance, health care or licensing. Establishes that no public or private entity may enforce any law that is inconsistent with this measure. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Potentially higher local government costs than …

Prohibition On Required Or Coerced Sterilization Of Animals Or Humans. Constitutional Amendment.

Initiatives

Prohibits enactment or enforcement of any law requiring or coercing by any means, including financial penalty, sexual sterilization of any human or animal. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Short-term savings to local governments because of the elimination of spay and neuter enforcement and surgery costs, offset in the long-term by unknown, but potentially significant, increased costs to operate shelters and provide animal control services to an increased dog and cat population. Unknown, but potentially significant loss of local government animal control revenue, because jurisdictions will no longer …

Recognition Of Animals As Property. Constitutional Amendment.

Initiatives

Amends California Constitution to declare that all animals owned by citizens, including pets and animals used for agricultural purposes, are property.

Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Probably no fiscal effect on state and local governments. (Initiative 07-0062.)

Property Ownership. Constitutional Amendment.

Initiatives

Amends California Constitution to declare that governmental entities within California, including cities and counties, may not make any law or ordinance that prevents any citizen from owning or legally acquiring property, or that limits the amount of property one may acquire, grow, produce, or own. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: The fiscal effect of this measure cannot be determined, as it would depend largely on how the measure’s terms are interpreted by the courts and implemented by government. (Initiative 07-0060.) (Full Text)

Microchip Liquid Chromatography And Capillary Electrophoresis Separations In Multilayer Microdevices, Hernan Vicente Fuentes

Theses and Dissertations

In this dissertation, several microfabricated devices are introduced to develop new applications in the area of chemical analysis. Electrochemical micropumps, chip-based liquid chromatography systems and multilayer capillary electrophoresis microdevices with crossover channels were fabricated using various substrates such as poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), glass, and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). I have demonstrated pressure-driven pumping of liquids in microfabricated channels using electrochemical actuation. PDMS-based micropumps were integrated easily with channel-containing PMMA substrates. Flow rates on the order of ~10 µL/min were achieved using low voltages (10 V). The potential of electrolysis-based pumping in microchannels was further evaluated for pressure driven microchip liquid chromatography (LC). …
