    People living with HIV (PLWHIV) have been involved in the continuum of HIV care since the early days of the epidemic providing education and prevention services. There is a growing interest in utilizing HIV positive peers ...
  • Performance of Random Forest When SNPs Are in Linkage Disequilibrium
    Meng, Yan A; Yu, Yi; Cupples, L Adrienne; Farrer, Lindsay A; Lunetta, Kathryn L (BioMed Central, 2009-3-5)
    BACKGROUND. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may be correlated due to linkage disequilibrium (LD). Association studies look for both direct and indirect associations with disease loci. In a Random Forest (RF) analysis, ...
  • Perks and Privileges for Russian MPs
    Sadchikov, Aleksandr (Boston University Center for the Study of Conflict, Ideology, and Policy, 1999-09)
  • Phenotype-Genotype Association Grid: A Convenient Method for Summarizing Multiple Association Analyses
    Levy, Daniel; DePalma, Steven R; Benjamin, Emelia J; O'Donnell, Christopher J; Parise, Helen; Hirschhorn, Joel N; Vasan, Ramachandran S; Izumo, Seigo; Larson, Martin G (BioMed Central, 2006-5-22)
    BACKGROUND: High-throughput genotyping generates vast amounts of data for analysis; results can be difficult to summarize succinctly. A single project may involve genotyping many genes with multiple variants per gene and ...
  • Phylogenetic Detection of Conserved Gene Clusters in Microbial Genomes
    Zheng, Yu; Anton, Brian P; Roberts, Richard J; Kasif, Simon (BioMed Central, 2005-10-3)
    BACKGROUND. Microbial genomes contain an abundance of genes with conserved proximity forming clusters on the chromosome. However, the conservation can be a result of many factors such as vertical inheritance, or functional ...
  • Plasma Leptin Levels and Incidence of Heart Failure, Cardiovascular Disease, and Total Mortality in Elderly Individuals
    Lieb, Wolfgang; Sullivan, Lisa M.; Harris, Tamara B.; Roubenoff, Ronenn; Benjamin, Emelia J.; Levy, Daniel; Fox, Caroline S.; Wang, Thomas J.; Wilson, Peter W.; Kannel, William B.; Vasan, Ramachandran S. (American Diabetes Association, 2008-12-29)
    OBJECTIVE: Obesity predisposes individuals to congestive heart failure (CHF) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Leptin regulates energy homeostasis, is elevated in obesity, and influences ventricular and vascular remodeling. ...
  • Portrait of Putin's Past
    Waller, J. Michael (Boston University Center for the Study of Conflict, Ideology, and Policy, 2000-01)
  • Portraits of Breast Cancer Progression
    Dalgin, Gul S; Alexe, Gabriela; Scanfeld, Daniel; Tamayo, Pablo; Mesirov, Jill P; Ganesan, Shridar; DeLisi, Charles; Bhanot, Gyan (BioMed Central, 2007-8-6)
    BACKGROUND. Clustering analysis of microarray data is often criticized for giving ambiguous results because of sensitivity to data perturbation or clustering techniques used. In this paper, we describe a new method based ...
  • Post-Election Ukraine: What Next?
    Lynch, Tammy M. (Boston University Center for the Study of Conflict, Ideology, and Policy, 2002-03)
  • Post-USSR: The Apparatchiki
    Karasik, Theodore (Boston University Center for the Study of Conflict, Ideology, and Policy, 1992-03)
  • Power, Policy & Political Parties: Interview

  • A Predictive Phosphorylation Signature of Lung Cancer
    Wu, Chang-Jiun; Cai, Tianxi; Rikova, Klarisa; Merberg, David; Kasif, Simon; Steffen, Martin (Public Library of Science, 2009-11-25)
    BACKGROUND. Aberrant activation of signaling pathways drives many of the fundamental biological processes that accompany tumor initiation and progression. Inappropriate phosphorylation of intermediates in these signaling ...
  • Prenatal Exposure to Tetrachloroethylene-Contaminated Drinking Water and the Risk of Adverse Birth Outcomes
    Aschengrau, Ann; Weinberg, Janice; Rogers, Sarah; Gallagher, Lisa; Winter, Michael; Vieira, Veronica; Webster, Thomas; Ozonoff, David (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008-06)
    BACKGROUND. Prior studies of prenatal exposure to tetrachloroethylene (PCE) have shown mixed results regarding its effect on birth weight and gestational age. OBJECTIVES. In this retrospective cohort study we examined ...
  • Prenatal Exposure to Tetrachloroethylene-Contaminated Drinking Water and the Risk of Congenital Anomalies: A Retrospective Cohort Study
    Aschengrau, Ann; Weinberg, Janice M; Janulewicz, Patricia A; Gallagher, Lisa G; Winter, Michael R; Vieira, Veronica M; Webster, Thomas F; Ozonoff, David M (BioMed Central, 2009-9-24)
    BACKGROUND: Prior animal and human studies of prenatal exposure to solvents including tetrachloroethylene (PCE) have shown increases in the risk of certain congenital anomalies among exposed offspring. OBJECTIVES: This ...
  • 'Present at the Creation': Genesis of a Multi-Party System
    Armes, Keith (Boston University Center for the Study of Conflict, Ideology, and Policy, 1993-12)
