The apparent clustering of human cases of influenza A (H5N1) among blood relatives has been considered as evidence of genetic variation in susceptibility.
The clinical director of the service, Dr Murray Chapman, said the reasons for the high suicide rate were complex but there was an apparent "clustering" effect, where each suicide in Aboriginal communities increased the risk of more occurring.
Regardless of causality, the apparent clustering of common traits within residential neighbourhoods suggests that in shared public spaces, too, we might identify dominant urges and goals to which the city can respond.
The apparent clustering of swarm types suggests that krill biomass surveys and ecosystem investigations may require stratified survey design, in response to varying 3-D swarm morphology, variation that may be driven in turn by environmental characteristics such as bathymetry.
Figure 8 shows that the algorithm adopted can take an apparent clustering even if large Gaussian channel noise exists.
After excluding six outliers, the score scatter plot with first versus second components showed no apparent clustering difference with regard to different treatment diets (Fig. 1).
Of these, 88% (15/17) were missense point mutations and these were distributed randomly along the tested gene fragments without apparent clustering, as has been shown in certain other ethnic or regional studies.
A Z score near zero indicates no apparent clustering within the study area, whereas a positive and a negative Z score indicates clustering of high and low values, respectively.
Apparent clustering is due to the survey design [20].
Considering the unusual nature of the illness and apparent clustering, a public health response and epidemiologic investigation was initiated.
The apparent clustering of these genes was explained by the presence of flanking DNA from the parental ES cell.
