Joint ancestry and association testing in admixed individuals. by Daniel Shriner, Adebowale Adeyemo, Charles N Rotimi

“…In both stages, we use generalized linear models, providing the advantage that the joint test can be used with any phenotype distribution with an appropriate link function. To define the alternative densities for admixture mapping and association mapping, we describe a method based on autocorrelation to empirically estimate the testing burdens of admixture mapping and association mapping. …”

Impact of tafluprost and tafluprost/timolol on the thickness of the retina in the macular area by N. I. Kurysheva, E. V. Polunina, D. D. Arzhukhanov, A. M. Tkhamadokova

“…The measurements were performed in the macular area using a spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) by means of the RtVue xR Avanti with the AngioVue OCT angiography function. The change in the intraocular pressure (IOP) and RT from the inner limiting membrane (ILM) to the inner plexiform layer (inner retina) and to the pigment epithelium (PE) in fovea and parafovea in total and by sectors were estimated by comparing paired repeated observations using the median growth analysis. …”

Neonicotinoids and Varroa mites force the extending of longevity in a bee colony during overwintering to forget by Toshiro Yamada, Yasuhiro Yamada

“…However, abnormal seasonal changes in longevity, which does not extend even if winter approaches, are shown for the bee-colony ingesting neonicotinoid-containing pollen and for the colony infested with Varroa mites. Judging from the fact that pollen is the main food for the bee-brood, that mites parasitize larvae and pupae, and that the vital functions and organs of honeybees are created during the larval and pupal stages, it can be inferred that a neonicotinoid-containing pollen paste and parasitic mites cause serious damage to the bee ability to detect the arrival of winter. …”

Covering the Boundary of Special Convex Bodies with Smaller Homothetic Copies by JI Dong-hai, Lv De-jing, MA Ze-min

“…For Hadwiger conjecture that the least number c(K) of translates of the interior of K needed to cover K is at most 2n, according to the fact that c(K) equals the least number of smaller homothetic copies of K with the same homothetic ratio needed to cover the boundary bdK of K, drawing on the continuous functional to estimate the value of c(K), studying the problem of estimating the value of the smallest homothetic ratio γm(K) that bdK can be covered by m translates of γm(K)K. …”
