Lewis-Beck and Richard Nadeau explain how voters have responded to key macrosocial challenges since the 1970s and assess where this leaves the future of the Danish ideal

“Gap hunting” to characterize clustered probe signals in Illumina methylation array data

Additional file 6: Figures S26–S31. All remaining SBE site scenarios. Each additional scenario of a SBE site-mapping SNP delimited in Fig. 4 not including the scenario shown in Fig. 5. Each of these figures contains 4 plots, showing every combination of CpG site interrogations on the forward and reverse strand as well as which nucleotide is the reference nucleotide

Parametric improvement for the ingestion dose module of the European ARGOS and RODOS decision support systems

The European decision support systems ARGOS and RODOS rely on the ECOSYS model for prognoses of ingestion doses. ECOSYS needs an update of various parameter values to provide reliable estimates. This paper reports on some results of a Nordic initiative to derive parameter values that are specific to Nordic conditions, as well as to improve generic parameter values in ECOSYS, taking into account the host of useful measurement data accumulated since ECOSYS was created
