The Human Genome Project and its spin- offs are making it increasingly feasible to determine the genetic basis of complex traits using genome- wide association studies. The statistical challenge of analyzing such studies stems from the severe multiple-comparison problem resulting from the analysis of thousands of SNPs. Our methodology for genome- wide family- based association studies, using single SNPs or haplotypes, can identify associations that achieve genome- wide significance. In relation to developing guidelines for our screening tools, we determined lower bounds for the estimated power to detect the gene underlying the disease- susceptibility locus, which hold regardless of the linkage disequilibrium structure present in the data. We also assessed the power of our approach in the presence of multiple disease- susceptibility loci. Our screening tools accommodate genomic control and use the concept of haplotype- tagging SNPs. Our methods use the entire sample and do not require separate screening and validation samples to establish genome- wide significance, as population- based designs do. [less ▲]

Lorsque des individus tentent de parvenir à un accord, deux grandes voies s’ouvrent à eux : soit ils essaient de se persuader l’un l’autre à l’aide d’arguments rationnels (on dit alors qu’ils argumentent), soit ils procèdent par un échange de menaces et de promesses (on dit alors qu’ils négocient). Tout au long de cet article, j’envisagerai les avantages et les inconvénients de ces deux registres de communication, tout en restant attentif au processus d’élaboration de l’accord ainsi qu’à la question de la qualité, si l’on peut dire, de l’accord recherché. Les principales illustrations empiriques de l’argumentation proviendront des débats de deux assemblées constituantes : la Convention fédérale de Philadelphie de 1787 et l’Assemblée constituante de Paris, de 1789 à 17911. J’utiliserai également d’autres exemples, comme certaines caractéristiques propres aux négociations salariales (voir aussi Elster, 1989, ch.4) et quelques aspects de l’allocation de ressources rares (Elster, 1992).

Tight blood glucose control: a recommendation applicable to any critically ill patient?

The issue of tight glucose control with intensive insulin therapy in critically ill patients remains controversial. Although compelling evidence supports this strategy in postoperative patients who have undergone cardiac surgery, the use of tight glucose control has been challenged in other situations, including in medical critically ill patients and in those who have undergone non-cardiac surgery. Similarly, the mechanisms that underlie the effects of high-dose insulin are not fully elucidated. These arguments emphasize the need to study the effects of tight glucose control in a large heterogeneous cohort of intensive care unit patients. [less ▲]

Researchers in structural dynamics have long recognised the importance of diagnosing and modelling non-linearity. The last 20 years have witnessed a shift in emphasis from single degree-of-freedom (sdof) to multi-degree-of-freedom (mdof) non-linear structural dynamics. The main feature of the program of COST F3 Working Group 3 was to identify the behaviour of a structure which exhibits a localised non-linear component. Inside this working group, two benchmarks were defined and studied intensively, thereby allowing to evaluate different identification methods and compare their efficiency and specificity. For this purpose, a large amount of data (time and frequency measurements) was collected and proposed to COST F3 participants. The two benchmarks that are described in the following are: * The VTT benchmark proposed by M. Juntunen from the VTT Technical Research of Finland; * The ECL benchmark proposed by F. Thouverez from the Ecole Centrale de Lyon (France). The VTT benchmark is essentially one-dimensional but with a type of non-linearity that is not known a priori. This is different from the ECL benchmark designed to implement a cubic stiffness hardening but which address mdof systems. The ECL benchmark was challenging in the sense that the considered structure is continuous and that several modes participate in the response. *Supported by a grant from the Belgian National Fund for Scientific Research. # 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.

MCDA applied to the architectural sketch design: an aid to conception of the building envelope

In the conception of the building envelope, the sketch design is a crucial moment of the architectural design. The first drawing gives a concrete expression to the project author's first choices regarding a set of requirements and preferences, as expressed by the multiple stakholders of the project, namely: the building owner, users, public authorities and the design team surrounding the architect. The present study explores a Multiple Criteria Decision Aid procedure (MCDA), an aid to help stakeholders improve this stage of the sketch design. The methodology is built close to the usual design process. This paper presents design and decision aid intertwined procedures and briefly describes the softwares involed: AMCE and EsQUIsE. The decision aid process is a first attempt to address the architectural sketch design challenge. The reader is expected to react to the suggested presentation of this still open MCDA problem.

The 1/29 translocation, a structural chromosomal abnormality, is often associated with infertility. For this reason, we wished to know its frequency in the Belgian Blue breed. In this study, none of the 138 Belgian Blue bulls karyotyped carried the 1/29 translocation. We calculated that the 1/29 translocation frequency in the Belgian Blue breed must be lower than 0.69% at the 5% level. This result can be explained by the origins of the breed. The Belgian Blue breed is descended from focal dairy breeds and from the Shorthorn breed, which can all be considered to be free of the 1/29 translocation. [less ▲]

Molécules de la famille des protéases aspartiques dans le placenta des ruminants: hormones ou protéines ?

The placenta of ruminant contains binucleate trophoblastic cells synthesizing proteins, migrating cross the barrier and fusing with endothelial cells of the endometrium. Recently described were two glycoproteins from the family of aspartic proteases, apparently lacking the enzymatic activity: the pregnancy associated glycorproteins I and II (PAGI and PAGII). The first (PAGI) is largely secreted in maternal blood, this characteristic copes with the lack of proteolytic activity. The second (PAGII) is not completely characterized. However, it binds to lutropin (LH) receptors with high affinity. This binding allows to assume that PAGII is likely the same as the bovine chorionic gonadotropin identified earlier (bCG). A better characterization of these glycoproteins (PAGI and PAGII) and other members of the family (PAGIII...) will answer these questions together with the unexplained invasive process of the placenta.
