Background: We present a model for reporting accelerometer paradata (process-related data produced from survey administration) collected in the International Study of Childhood Obesity Lifestyle and the Environment (ISCOLE), a multi-national investigation of >7000 children (averaging 10.5 years of age) sampled from 12 different developed and developing countries and five continents....

BACKGROUND: We compared 24-hour waist-worn accelerometer wear time characteristics of 9-11 year old children
in the International Study of Childhood Obesity, Lifestyle and the Environment (ISCOLE) to similarly aged U.S. children
providing waking-hours waist-worn accelerometer data in the 2003-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination
Survey (NHANES).
METHODS: Valid cases were...

Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that...

Using published dairy cattle liver transcriptomics dataset along with novel blood biomarkers of liver function, metabolism,
and inflammation we have attempted an integrative systems biology approach applying the classical functional enrichment
analysis using DAVID, a newly-developed Dynamic Impact Approach (DIA), and an upstream gene network analysis using
Ingenuity Pathway Analysis...

Integrative Analyses of Hepatic Differentially
We investigated DNA methylomes of pediatric B-cell
acute lymphoblastic leukemias (B-ALLs) using
whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and high-definition
microarrays, along with RNA expression
profiles. Epigenetic alteration of B-ALLs occurred in
two tracks: de novo methylation of small functional
compartments and demethylation of large intercompartmental
backbones. The deviations were exaggerated
in lamina-associated...
