THE USE OF CORRELATION ANALYSIS OF TWO-DIMENSION STOCHASTIC PROCESS FOR HELICOPTER MAINTENANCE WORKABILITY ESTIMATION by Y. M. Chinyuchin, A. S. Solov’ev

“…The linear correlated dependence is considered as linear or anyconnection close to it between two variables for which the correlated analysis theorem is true.The algorithm of calculated program complex for helicopter maintenance workability estimation consists of five steps: choice of equipment that needs to be installed on the helicopter; correlation coefficient calculation for helicopters having this equipment and revealing of optimal variants of location; zone partition of the developed helicopter and analysis of possi- ble disposal of clusters in optimal order; disposal of clusters on the designed helicopter; correlation coefficient calculation, direct regression construction for the designed helicopter and comparison of these readings with helicopters-analogues. …”

Stochastic demethylation and redundant epigenetic suppressive mechanisms generate highly heterogeneous responses to pharmacological DNA methyltransferase inhibition by Mie K. Jakobsen, Sofie Traynor, Aaraby Y. Nielsen, Christina Dahl, Mette Staehr, Simon T. Jakobsen, Maria S. Madsen, Rasmus Siersbaek, Mikkel G. Terp, Josefine B. Jensen, Christina B. Pedersen, Anup Shrestha, Jonathan R. Brewer, Pascal H. G. Duijf, Odd L. Gammelgaard, Henrik J. Ditzel, Alexei F. Kirkin, Per Guldberg, Morten F. Gjerstorff

“…Results We show that breast cancer tumors and cell cultures exhibit a highly heterogenous response to DNA methyltransferase inhibitors, persisting even under high drug concentrations and efficient DNA methyltransferase depletion. The observed variability in response to DNA methyltransferase inhibitors was independent of cancer-associated aberrations and clonal genetic diversity. …”
