The implicitome: A resource for rationalizing gene-disease associations
High-throughput experimental methods such as medical sequencing and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identify increasingly large numbers of potential relations between genetic variants and diseases. Both biological complexity (millions of potential gene-disease associations) and the accelerating rate of data production necessitate computational approaches to prioritize and rationalize potential gene-disease relations. Here, we use concept profile technology to expose from the biomedical literature both explicitly stated gene-disease relations (the explicitome) and a much larger set of implied gene-disease associations (the implicitome). Implicit relations are largely unknown to, or are even unintended by the original authors, but they vastly extend the reach of existing
Design and construction of the MicroBooNE detector
This paper describes the design and construction of the MicroBooNE liquid
argon time projection chamber and associated systems. MicroBooNE is the first
phase of the Short Baseline Neutrino program, located at Fermilab, and will
utilize the capabilities of liquid argon detectors to examine a rich assortment
of physics topics. In this document details of design specifications, assembly
procedures, and acceptance tests are reported
Recommended conventions for defining transition moments and intensity factors in diatomic molecular spectra
Two recommendations are made that can eliminate persistent confusion in the study of diatomic spectroscopy by providing uniform and consistent definitions of the electronic transition moments and the rotational line intensity factors. First, it is recommended that the equation for the line strength of a single rotational line be adopted to specify the relationship between the electronic transition moment and the rotational line intensity factor. Second, it is recommended that the electronic transition moment operator for perpendicular transitions be defined by (1/21/2)(μx ± iμy). The adoption of these conventions results in a value of (2S + 1)(2J + 1) for the sum rule of the rotational line intensity factor for Σ± ↔ Σ± transitions and a value of 2(2S + 1)(2J + 1) for the sum rule for all other spin-allowed transitions
