- Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) data possess a number of undesirable features for parsimony analysis. These features include their non-codominant inheritance, their anonymous nature, their different (a)symmetrical transformation probabilities, and their possible GC priming bias. As a consequence, no single parsimony method seems appropriate for RAPD data. Moreover, the presence/absence coding of RAPDs is equivalent to the invalid independent allele model for allozymes. These issues are discussed and the way in which parsimony analysis of RAPDs can be misleading is illustrated.

Traveling waves of excitation arise from the spatial coupling of local nonlinear events by transport processes. In corrosion systems, these electro-dissolution waves relay local perturbations across large portions of the metal surface, significantly amplifying overall damage. For the example of the magnesium alloy AZ31B exposed to sodium chloride solution, we report experimental results suggesting the existence of a vulnerable zone in the wake of corrosion waves where local perturbations can induce a unidirectional wave pulse or segment.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the associations between multidimensional sleep features and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: We conducted a systematic search across the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus databases for observational studies examining the association between nighttime sleep duration, nighttime sleep quality, sleep chronotype, and daytime napping with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), up to October 1, 2024. If < 50%, a combined analysis was performed based on a fixed-effects model, and vice versa, using a random-effects model.

Cognitive impairment following surgery is a significant complication, affecting multiple neurocognitive domains. The term "perioperative neurocognitive disorders" (PND) is recommended to encompass this entity. Individuals who develop PND are typically older and have increases in serum and brain pro-inflammatory cytokines notwithstanding the type of surgery undergone.
