We here provide the community a Bioconductor package that (i) quantifies the functional impact of both coding genes and non-coding loci, (ii) generalizes four fGSA methods, including FAIME, to variable next-generation sequencing (NGS) data and (iii) wraps gene locus definitions for human and mouse genomes from the GENCODE project (Harrow et al., 2012) into R objects.
However, in this study, we depart from traditional conversation analysis in that: (i) aspects of conversation are quantified and (ii) the conversation measure is used to evaluate changes in conversation after an impairment-based intervention.
Components of decision that could be quantified, i.e., intrinsic value of a healthcare intervention and quality of evidence available, were organized into matrices.
Buffett issued a statement Thursday, calling the merger a "dream deal" and explaining, "to quantify that, I intend to purchase enough shares so that by the time the deal is closed, we will have 100 million shares of P&G".
Each individual is characterized by its strength s (which differs among individuals and influences fighting costs) and fitness F. In addition, each individual i has a set of dyad-specific variables w i,j that quantify the willingness of i to escalate a conflict with group member j into a costly fight.
"I don't know that I could quantify it for you," he answered.
To compare phosphorylation affected by the PI3K/mTOR and Akt inhibitors, we filtered class I phosphorylation sites that were quantified in at least one biological replicate from each of the screens, and for increased robustness we filtered the data such that phosphorylation sites had to be regulated in the same direction in both inhibitor screens.
Maier presented a study that quantified nanostructure properties (i.e., local surface plasmon resonance energy, dephasing/lifetime, total cross section, and contribution of scattering and absorption of light) of aluminum (Al), with supported nanodisks as the model system [5].
"At this point, I don't think I have left much that can be quantified unexplored," he concludes.
While they get a small pat on the back for that, quantifying that work is fairly straightforward.
