Schizophrenia is a highly heritable disorder. Genetic risk is conferred by a large number of alleles, including common alleles of small effect that might be detected by genome-wide association… (More)
OBJECTIVE
This article describes the establishment of the Australian Schizophrenia Research Bank (ASRB), which operates to collect, store and distribute linked clinical, cognitive, neuroimaging and… (More)
A unified, bioinformatics-driven, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based approach to microbial genotyping has been developed. Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) databases consist of known variants… (More)
For ten years researchers have been attempting to construct programming language systems that support orthogonal persistence above conventional operating systems. This approach has proven to be poor;… (More)
The regional distribution of white matter (WM) abnormalities in schizophrenia remains poorly understood, and reported disease effects on the brain vary widely between studies. In an effort to… (More)
BACKGROUND
With increasing attention given to the quality of chronic disease care, a measurement approach that empowers consumers to participate in improving quality of care and enables health… (More)
Copy number variants (CNVs) have been strongly implicated in the genetic etiology of schizophrenia (SCZ). However, genome-wide investigation of the contribution of CNV to risk has been hampered by… (More)
In this paper, operating system support for persistent systems that execute on conventional hardware architectures is examined. The focus of the paper is to examine the inadequacies of traditional… (More)
Quali fying types represent a new approach to modifying the behaviour of instances of other types in a general way, in the form of components which can be designed and implemented without a prior… (More)
In this paper, we introduce and describe directed dependency graph-based transaction and concurrency control (DCC) for persistent (stable, single-level) object-based bulk data management systems. The… (More)
