Water mites (Acari, Hydrachnidia) of riparian springs in a small lowland river valley: what are the key factors for species distribution?
Andrzej Zawal · Robert Stryjecki · Edyta Buczyńska · Paweł Buczyński · 2018-5 · PeerJ
This paper examines the impact of disturbance factors—flooding and intermittency—on the distribution of water mites in the riparian springs situated in the valley of a small lowland river, the Krąpiel. The landscape factors and physicochemical parameters of the water were analysed in order to gain an understanding of the pattern of water mite assemblages in the riparian springs. Three limnological types of springs we…
An Intersection–Union Test for the Sharpe Ratio
Gabriel Frahm · 2018-4 · Risks
An intersection–union test for supporting the hypothesis that a given investment strategy is optimal among a set of alternatives is presented. It compares the Sharpe ratio of the benchmark with that of each other strategy. The intersection–union test takes serial dependence into account and does not presume that asset returns are multivariate normally distributed. An empirical study based on the G–7…

Variation in TMEM106B in chronic traumatic encephalopathy
Jonathan D. Cherry · Jesse Mez · John F. Crary · Yorghos Tripodis · 2018-11 · Acta Neuropathologica Communications
Abstract The genetic basis of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is poorly understood. Variation in transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) has been associated with enhanced neuroinflammation during aging and with TDP-43-related neurodegenerative disease, and rs3173615, a missense coding SNP in TMEM106B, has been implicated as a functional variant in these processes. Neuroinflammation and TDP-43 pathology are promi…
