The influence of the inclusion of biological knowledge in statistical methods to integrate multi-omics data
… techniques has led to the explosion of biological data available for analysis, allowing researchers to investigate multiple molecular layers (i.e. omics data) together. The classical statistical methods could not address the challenges of combining multiple data types, leading to the …

Biological knowledge as a tool for an ecologically sound biofouling control: a case study of the invasive bivalve Mytilopsis leucophaeata in Europe
Technische installaties zoals koelwatersystemen van grote industriële bedrijven gebruiken meestal water uit nabij gelegen zeeën of rivieren om hun elektrische processen af te koelen. Met dit water worden echter ook organismen opgepompt, die terecht komen in het koelwatersysteem en er eventueel …

A Biological Investigation on Plethodon Larselli
… this study is to increase the presently-lacking biological knowledge of P. larselli. A study was made, therefore, on this species relative to its geographical distribution, habitat, dehydration and rehydration rates, response to induction with varying concentrations of a gonadotropic hormone, and …

Young Infants' Knowledge About Self -Propelled Objects
… for example, the domains of psychological and biological knowledge. In addition, these results are in line with evidence suggesting that young children distinguish animate from inanimate objects and reason about animate objects in terms of their psychological and biological properties. Future …

A study of the self concept of the secondary biology teachers and the relationship to student achievement and other teacher characteristics
… population of biology teachers, measure their biological knowledge, determine their biology teaching proficiency and examine certain characteristics to find out if there was a correlation between any of these variables. To carry out this task 30 teachers who attended National Science Foundation …

The biggest treasure of all? ~ the "fifth element" of biodiversity
… African indigenous peoples on the issue of ethno-biological knowledge, could refer to as a 'blue print' for the giving of legal advice to those indigenous peoples or at least a reference point for how to protect and advance their client's rights.

Who's got guts? Young infants expect animals to have insides
… concerning this question. At issue is whether biological reasoning develops from earlier forms of reasoning, such as physical and psychological reasoning, or whether from a young age children endow animals with biological properties. Here we demonstrate that 8- month-old infants already expect …

Assessment of collagen based polymer scaffolds for tissue engineering
… progress being prevented by a lack of biological knowledge concerning cell-matrix interactions, cell-cell interactions, and matrix-cytokine interactions. Despite this lack of knowledge, collagen based polymers still hold several benefits over competing technologies such as degradable …

Attitudes of Japanese students in relation to school biology
… and there are doubts whether students can use biological knowledge to their advantage in life after graduating from school. It is argued that the aim of teaching biology is in making educated students: people who can understand the importance of the role of biology in their society and can make …

Predicting gene function from images of cells
This dissertation shows that biologically meaningful predictions can be made by analyzing images of cells. In particular, groups of related genes and their biological functions can be predicted using images from large gene-knockdown experiments. Our analysis methods focus on measuring individual …

Differential Network Analysis based on Omic Data for Cancer Biomarker Discovery
… significant changes on individual level between biologically disparate groups (disease cases vs. healthy controls) for cancer biomarker discovery. However, differential expression analysis on independent studies for the same clinical types of patients often led to different sets of significant …
