THE POLITICS OF MEDICAL REPRESENTATION: THE CASE OF THE BMA 1979 TO 1995
The British Medical Association (BMA) has traditionally been regarded as commanding considerable influence over health policy formulation throughout the post-war period. However, health policy analysts have more recently suggested a decline in BMA influence as a result of a hostile political …

Benthic microalgae on the Louisiana inner continental shelf: biomass, distribution, and contribution to benthic food-webs
Phytoplankton and benthic microalgae (BMA) may both contribute to the sediment organic matter pool available to benthic consumers. Recent studies have highlighted the presence and ecological roles of benthic microalgae (BMA) on the continental shelf but studies from the north-central Gulf of Mexico …

Solubilization and purification of aldolase from bovine sperm and muscle
… in spermatozoa. Aldolase from bovine muscle (BMA) and sperm (BSpA) have been characterized with respect to the nature of their subcellular associations. Solubilization properties of BMA and BSpA were investigated. Deoxycholate, when included in homogenization buffer, solubilized approximately …

Bayesian Saltwater Intrusion Prediction and Remediation Design under Uncertainty
… study generalizes the Bayesian model averaging (BMA) method and introduces the hierarchical Bayesian model averaging (HBMA) method that segregates and prioritizes sources of uncertainty in a hierarchical structure and conduct BMA for saltwater intrusion prediction. A BMA tree of models is …

Synthesis, micellar properties and application of amphiphilic linear block copolymers with different microstructure but same molecular weight
… copolymers P(MAA)-b-P(MMA) and (P(MAA)-b-P(BMA)), and triblock copolymers, P(MAA)-b-P(MAA-co-MMA)-b-P(MMA) and P(MAA)-b-P(MAA-co-BMA)-b-P(BMA), were synthesised via ATRP of MMA and t BuMA as well as of BMA and t-BuMA with an overall molecular weight of max. 7000 g/mol, followed by acid …

Bayesian Model Averaging and Variable Selection in Multivariate Ecological Models
Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) is a new area in modern applied statistics that provides data analysts with an efficient tool for discovering promising models and obtaining esti-mates of their posterior probabilities via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). These probabilities can be further used as …

Multivariate Applications of Bayesian Model Averaging
… alternative to this is Bayesian model averaging (BMA), which uses the information from all models based on how well each is supported by the data. Using BMA allows a variance component due to the uncertainty of the model selection process to be estimated. The variance of any statistic of interest …

An analysis of the dynamics and effects of interdepartmental policy discord on post-apartheid South Africa’s border control and border security
… of Border Management Authority Bill (BMA). The BMA has been passed in the National Assembly, although it has been opposed by the opposition political parties owing to a number of concerns that emerged. The challenge of policy fragmentation has persisted as the political will to pursue …

Bayesian model averaging on hydraulic conductivity estimation and groundwater head prediction
… study introduces a Bayesian model averaging (BMA) method along with multiple generalized parameterization (GP) methods to identify hydraulic conductivity and along with multiple simulation models to predict groundwater head and quantify the prediction uncertainty. Two major issues about BMA …

Management of paediatric immune thrombocytopaenia in a South African centre from 1991-2011
… stay of 4 days (IQR 0-6). Bone marrow aspirates (BMA) were performed in 188 patients (59%). There was a reduction in BMA from 1991-2000 to 2001-2011 (p<0.001). There was an increase in the percentage of patients treated from 1991-2000 (77/170; 44%) to 2001-2011 (99/147, 67% p< 0.001). Resolution …

Essays on Tree-based Methods for Prediction and Causal Inference
… implementation of the existing method BART-BMA (Hernandez et al. 2018), which averages over sum-of-tree models found by a model search algorithm, performs well on high-dimensional datasets, and produces more interpretable output than other BART implementations because the output includes a …
