Leveraging genotypes imputation and polygenic risk scores in malaria susceptibility by Kimathi, Peter Opiyo

“…A key concern is that the missing heritability remains too large, with some of the variants identified in some populations failing to replicate using independent study populations. Indeed comparable sources have revealed that the statistical power of association studies can be improved either via genotypes imputation approaches or by treating the whole genome of an individual as a risk predictor using Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS). …”

Primary sedimentation tank model with characterized settling velocity groups by Polorigni, Christian Leprince

“…Hence, it becomes difficult to correctly simulate the entire system (plant-wide) towards a holistic evaluation of system strategies. In this study, a realistic PST model was developed, with characterized settling velocity groups, within a plant-wide setting, for municipal wastewater. …”

Intraindividual variability and micro-structural white matter changes in Alzheimer’s disease by Engelbrecht, Kara

“…IIV researchers have highlighted the role of white matter in increased IIV, and micro-structural white matter changes have been implicated in the early stages of AD. The current study examined the relationship between IIV on simple and choice reaction time tasks and micro-structural white matter changes, as indexed by fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD), axial diffusivity (DA) and radial diffusivity (DR) in a sample of 16 AD patients and 20 healthy older adults. …”

Investigating the nexus between investment in agriculture and agriculture output: a case for Namibia by Jakob, Alisa

“…Neither the neoclassical nor the new growth theories on investment have considered the growth effects of investment at sector and industry level and its implication on capital allocation, particularly for developing countries that are resource constrained. …”

Agriculture, modern biotechnology and the law: An examination of the property paradigm in the context of plant genetic resources by Collier, Debbie

“…The thesis questions whether greater limitations on proprietary rights in modern biotechnology would improve matters. The outcome of the study (completed in 2009) of these vulnerable cotton farmers implicates the IP-protected technology in the destruction of many livelihoods and in the stifling of technology transfer to aid local innovation. …”
