Generalized Linear Mixed-Effects Models For The Analysis Of Odor Detection Data, Sandra Hall, Matthew S. Mayo, Xu-Feng Niu, James C. Walker
Generalized Linear Mixed-Effects Models For The Analysis Of Odor Detection Data, Sandra Hall, Matthew S. Mayo, Xu-Feng Niu, James C. Walker
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Olfactory detection has become a science of interest. Seven individuals’ odor detection abilities are explored and an attempt is made to characterize all subjects with one generalized linear mixed effects model. Two methods of fitting the models were used and simulations were conducted to discover which method yielded the best results.

It is not clear yet whether Global System for Mobiles (GSM) mobile phone radiation has the ability to interfere with normal resting brain function. There have been reports that GSM exposure increases alpha band power, and does so only when the signal is modulated at low frequencies (Huber, R., Treyer, V., Borbely, A. A., Schuderer, J., Gottselig, J. M., Landolt, H.P., Werth, E., Berthold,T., Kuster, N., Buck, A and Achermann, P. Electromagnetic fields, such as those from mobile phones, alter regional cerebral blood flow and sleep and waking EEG. J Sleep Res 11, 289-295, 2002.) However, as that research employed …
Systems Dynamics Modelling Of Human And Information Aspects Of Network-Centric Configurations, Helen M. Hasan
Systems Dynamics Modelling Of Human And Information Aspects Of Network-Centric Configurations, Helen M. Hasan
Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)
This paper is based on the definition of a network-centric structure as one which enables members of an organisation to create and leverage information to increase competitive advantage through the joint efforts of creative individuals and independent teams. While the technical components of this environment are enabling, the organisational and behavioural components generate value as traditionally competitive workers strive to cooperate in self-directed, distributed teams. Many organisations are now complex hybrids of hierarchical and network-centric configurations and there is a need to increase our understanding of their human and informational aspects. Due to its suitability for managing complexity without reducing …
Traditional Audit Techniques And Human Behaviour At Undergraduate Level - Answering The Call For Audit Education Reform, Annamaria Kurtovic
Traditional Audit Techniques And Human Behaviour At Undergraduate Level - Answering The Call For Audit Education Reform, Annamaria Kurtovic
Faculty of Commerce - Papers (Archive)
As educators, we have a responsibility to society to ensure that our students receive adequate learning and training. In recent years, there have been continued calls for reform within the accounting profession, particularly regarding auditor training. The following paper will analyse how a newly developed framework, the Fusion Framework, is applied to the curricula of an undergraduate auditing and assurance course, with the aim of influencing reform in audit education. In turn assuring that graduates are provided with the necessary knowledge and skills to not only meet the regulatory requirements but also the expectations of the wider market and investors. …
The Extracellular Chaperone Clusterin Potently Inhibits Human Lysozyme Amyloid Formation By Interacting With Prefibrillar Species, Mark Wilson, Justin Yerbury, Stephen Poon, Christopher Dobson, C V Robinson, Elise Stewart, Janet Kumita, Mireille Dumoulin, Gemma Caddy, Christine Hagan
The Extracellular Chaperone Clusterin Potently Inhibits Human Lysozyme Amyloid Formation By Interacting With Prefibrillar Species, Mark Wilson, Justin Yerbury, Stephen Poon, Christopher Dobson, C V Robinson, Elise Stewart, Janet Kumita, Mireille Dumoulin, Gemma Caddy, Christine Hagan

We have studied the effects of the extracellular molecular chaperone, clusterin, on the in vitro aggregation of mutational variants of human lysozyme, including one associated with familial amyloid disease. The aggregation of the amyloidogenic variant I56T is inhibited significantly at clusterin-to-lysozyme ratios as low as 1:80 (i.e. one clusterin molecule per 80 lysozyme molecules). Experiments indicate that under the conditions where inhibition of aggregation occurs, clusterin does not bind detectably to the native or fibrillar states, or to the monomeric transient intermediate known to be a key species in the aggregation reaction. Rather, it seems to interact with oligomeric species …
