A study of inter-individual differences in the DNA damage response
… responsible for all genetic variations between individuals. This includes differences in disease susceptibility. In this study, we examined the inter-individual differences in the DNA damage response. To do so, we used a panel of twenty-four B lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from twenty-four …

Inter-individual variation in saliva antioxidant status in relation to periodontal disease
… antioxidant flow rate was significantly lower in individuals with severe PD (TAA 0.2 10 ± 0.02 M/ml/min) than those with healthy gingivae (TAA 0.270 ± 0.02 iiM/ml/min) (p

The Role Of Contextual Variables In Intra- And Inter-individual Cognitive Flexibility
… dynamic process models, which highlight the interaction of person and situation to inform adaption. The empirical research on self-regulation supports the idea that adaptive functioning is dependent on the ability to flexibly switch strategies to match the context of the situation. While …

Inter-individual variation within social groups: how metabolic rate shapes the pace of life
… physiological, and life-history traits in individual bees and used a path analysis to demonstrate that variation in metabolic rate plays a fundamental proximate role in driving the covariance among these traits. We combined this with a factor analysis in a structural equation model …

A dialogue model of the resolution of inter-individual conflicts : implications for computer based collaborative learning
… of empirical research into the benefits of peer interaction for learning and development, there is growing interest in designing systems to support collaborative learning. How best to do this for classroom learning is still unclear, and the aim of this thesis is to marry theory with empirical …

Role of Retrotransposons as a Major Source of Intra- and Inter-Individual Epigenetic Variations in the Mammalian Genome
… which escape the repression variably even in individuals with an identical genome sequence. Using bioinformatic approaches, 143 candidate epialleles were first identified based on their promoter activity and association with active histone modification marks. Detailed methylation analyses …

Who Exercises and When? The Effects of Intra- and Inter-Individual Variation on the Likelihood and Duration of Exercise
The current study examined the ability of inter- and intra-individual characteristics to predict the likelihood and duration of exercise as well as mood. One hundred forty-nine undergraduates (mean age = 19.11; 53% women; 79.19% White) participated in a six-day study. Online surveys measured …

Neural Correlates of Inter-Individual Differences in Pain Processing Investigated by Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Entire Central Nervous System
… personal experience, characterized by tremendous inter-individual variability. Pain perception can differ substantially across individuals due to many factors such as age, gender, genetics, cognition and emotionality etc. Some individuals are very sensitive to pain whereas others tolerate pain …

Neural Mechanisms Supporting Default Mode Network Regulation of Pain Sensitivity
… experience that is constructed by complex interactions between sensory, cognitive, affective, and genetic factors. The multi-factorial nature of pain produces substantial variations in subjective pain reports that are reflected in functional brain activity. The neural mechanisms underlying …

Models for Investigating the Biology of Sexual Differentiation
… few of these differences are fully understood. Inter-individual differences exist within the sexes as well. Sexual differentiation is the process of development of these differences. The study of sexual differentiation is itself a discipline, with different concepts and methods applied across …

Factors influencing equal-loudness level contours
… PSE. It is demonstrated that a procedure of four interleaved tracks is sufficient to gain reproducible and parameter-independent results. Additionally, interindividual differences can be reduced significantly by taking into account the inter-individual threshold of hearing. The obtained …

The auditory fingerprint : multidimensional characterization of individual pitch perception in musicians
… have been repeatedly reported to show remarkable inter-individual differences in elementary hearing functions, sound perception mode, musical instrument preference, performance style, as well as musical abilities such as absolute- and relative pitch perception or auditory imagery (audiation). …

Waves of Change: Longitudinal Growth Profiling of Bilingual (Spanish-English) Language Development
… findings regarding change over time, intra- and inter-individual variability, and the impact of initial status on growth. With regard to change over time: MLUw, NDW, and WPM demonstrated growth over time in Spanish and English; the shapes of Spanish (curvilinear, non-monotonic, and continuous) …

The urinary excretion of sulfoconjugates in an adult male population
… data revealed intra- (within subject) and inter-individual (between subject) coefficients of variation of 57.42% and 90.03% for bound sulfate (mmole/24 hr). For total sulfate, intra- and inter-individual coefficients of variation were 22.76% and 67.35%, respectively. The need to consider …

THE EFFECTS OF RARE GENETIC VARIANTS AND GENETIC ANCESTRY ON DRUG RESPONSE AND SEVERITY IN AIRWAYS DISEASES
… variants that explain a small proportion of inter-individual variability in drug response and severity. Genetic ancestry could be associated with disease severity in individuals from recently admixed ethnic groups, such as African Americans where a higher percentage of African ancestry was …

The impact of fish oil fatty-acids on post-prandial vascular reactivity.
… primary aim of this project was to determine the individual effects of the fish oil fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) versus docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on post-prandial vascular reactivity and to identify underlying molecular mechanisms of these effects. In this study, the acute effects of …

Biomarkers in sepsis and other severe infections
… as indicated by cell surface phenotype, a large inter-individual variation of immune activation and immunosuppression was detected in patients with sepsis, with a dominance of immunosuppression in patients with septic shock. Finally, different types of immature myeloid immunosuppressive cells, …

An integrative, community-collaborative approach to investigating health, diet, and the oral microbiome in ancestral and descendant coast Tsimshian communities
… from burials and household structures at winter villages along the coastline of Prince Rupert Harbour indicate that as warfare and the accumulation of personal wealth increased, the social complexity of the ancestral community increased and individual status differentiation emerged. The …
