This work advances the present knowledge about Q&A communities by using multivariate analysis techniques to characterize contributors' behavioral profiles.
The factors of susceptibility, such as the infection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), and chronic exposure to aflatoxin B1 (and1) alcoholicolicirrhosisis, have been well identified and characterized as contributors to hepatocarcinogenesis.
This work characterizes prominent contributor behaviors in the Super User site, considering how much and how well users contribute.
In this manuscript we describe the application of two related latent variable modeling approaches, MEMs and SEMs, for identifying and characterizing genetic contributors to complex diseases.
1, 2 The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway is considered the most important and is a well-characterized contributor to angiogenesis.
Results Previously, this group identified and characterized the first genetic contributor to POTS, a variant in the NET gene, by investigating familial cases.
This paper uses administrative North Carolina data linked from high school to college and national surveys to characterize the largest contributor to the STEM gender gap: engineering.
In addition to these functions, several recent reports link PCPE2 as a contributor to disorders characterized by fibrosis of the pancreas [ 46], as well as to TGF-β1 stimulation of human amniotic fluid derived mesenchymal cells [ 47], arachidonic acid abundance in red blood cells [ 48 ▪] and collagen accumulation associated with chronic pressure overload in mouse heart [ 49].
22 While it is important to consider these mechanisms, they are less well characterized, and are likely minor contributors to CNS infection.
Radiographic features of OST and JSN are interrelated and this correlation can prove to be a potential confounder in attempts to characterize the independent contributors to the systemic level of a biomarker.
In addition to these highly characterized mutations, epigenetic alterations are key contributors to breast carcinogenesis.
