Abstract

Genetic association results are often interpreted with the assumption that study participation does not affect downstream analyses. Understanding the genetic basis of participation bias is challenging since it requires the genotypes of unseen individuals. Here we demonstrate that it is possible to estimate comparative biases by performing a genome-wide association study contrasting one subgroup versus another. For example, we showed that sex exhibits artifactual autosomal heritability in the presence of sex-differential participation bias. By performing a genome-wide association study of sex in approximately 3.3 million males and females, we identified over 158 autosomal loci spuriously associated with sex and highlighted complex traits underpinning differences in study participation between the sexes. For example, the body mass index-increasing allele at FTO was observed at higher frequency in males compared to females (odds ratio = 1.02, P = 4.4 × 10-36). Finally, we demonstrated how these biases can potentially lead to incorrect inferences in downstream analyses and propose a conceptual framework for addressing such biases. Our findings highlight a new challenge that genetic studies may face as sample sizes continue to grow.

3. Quantitative analysis of carbides formed during the tempering of tungsten and molybdenum steels

Author

Tunney, R. J., Lorimer, G. W., and Ridley, N.

Abstract

The variation in composition of carbides formed during the tempering at 700°C of complex medium-carbon steels containing tungsten or molybdenum has been followed by analytical electron microscopy. Quantitative analysis of carbides containing tungsten has been achieved using LαX-ray intensity measurements. Direct measurement of carbide compositions has meant that chemical as well as structural observations can be made during the tempering of alloy steels.

4. Tempering of high-purity and commercially based steels containing 10 wt-% tungsten or 5 wt-% molybdenum

Author

Tunney, R. J. and Ridley, N.

Abstract

The effect of similar atomic percent additions of tungsten and molybdenum on the tempering behaviour of high-purity ternary and commercially based medium-carbon steels has been examined. A high-purity steel containing 5.6 wh%Mo (3.3 at.-%) showed substantially higher secondary hardening than an alloy with 9.9 wt-%W (3.2 at.-%). Marked differences in hardness were not observed when additions of 3 wt-%Cr and 0.3 wt-%V, frequently found in die steels, were present. Reasons for this behaviour are discussed.On tempering the ternary steels the alloy carbide precipitation sequence was M2C → M6C and the close association of M2C and M6C in some regions of the steel containing molybdenum suggested that an in situtransformation might be occurring. In the commercially based steels the presence of chromium led additionally to the formation of relatively small amounts of M23C6during the early stages of tempering. Analytical electron microscopy has been used to examine the composition of the M2C and M6C carbides in the ternary alloys during tempering at 700°C. The solubility of iron in M02C was appreciably lower than for W2C, and this may have contributed to the much lower rate at which the M2C → M6C transformation occurred in the molybdenum alloy compared with the tungsten alloy.

Identifying susceptibility genes could highlight the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. We designed a digestive health questionnaire for UK Biobank and combined identified cases with IBS with independent cohorts. We conducted a genome-wide association study with 53,400 cases and 433,201 controls and replicated significant associations in a 23andMe panel (205,252 cases and 1,384,055 controls). Our study identified and confirmed six genetic susceptibility loci for IBS. Implicated genes included NCAM1, CADM2, PHF2/FAM120A, DOCK9, CKAP2/TPTE2P3 and BAG6. The first four are associated with mood and anxiety disorders, expressed in the nervous system, or both. Mirroring this, we also found strong genome-wide correlation between the risk of IBS and anxiety, neuroticism and depression (rg > 0.5). Additional analyses suggested this arises due to shared pathogenic pathways rather than, for example, anxiety causing abdominal symptoms. Implicated mechanisms require further exploration to help understand the altered brain���gut interactions underlying IBS.

Abstract

Participants can transfer grammatical knowledge acquired implicitly in 1 vocabulary to new sequences instantiated in both the same and a novel vocabulary. Two principal theories have been advanced to account for these effects. One suggests that sequential dependencies form the basis for cross-domain transfer (e.g., Z. Dienes, G. T. M. Altmann, & S. J. Gao, 1999). Another argues that a form of episodic memory known as abstract analogy is sufficient (e.g., L. R. Brooks & J. R. Vokey, 1991). Three experiments reveal the contributions of the 2. In Experiment 1 sequential dependencies form the only basis for transfer. Experiment 2 demonstrates that this process is impaired by a change in the distributional properties of the language. Experiment 3 demonstrates that abstract analogy of repetition structure is relatively immune to such a change. These findings inform theories of artificial grammar learning and the transfer of grammatical knowledge.
