TL;DR: This paper has modeled the shape of the SiH bond-stretching band as a function of the alloy composition, and finds that the frequency shifts caused by changes in the matrix are comparable to the shifts associated with the different local environments.
Abstract: Hydrogenated silicon suboxides, ${\mathrm{SiO}}_{\mathrm{r}}$:H, for alloy range (0lrl2) have been deposited by remote plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (remote PECVD) under conditions in which hydrogen is incorporated predominantly in monohydride or SiH bonding configurations. We have investigated both the SiH bond-stretching and bond-bending absorption bands by infrared (ir) absorption spectroscopy as a function of r, the alloy composition. In this paper, we have focused on the bond-stretching absorption bands, and have modeled the shape of the bond-stretching band as a function of the alloy composition. There are four distinct local environments for the SiH group in the sub- oxides; these can be written as HSi-${\mathrm{Si}}_{3\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathrm{n}}$${\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{n}}$, for n=0--3. A sum of Gaussian functions, one for each environment, is used to synthesize the absorption in the SiH stretching band. The peak positions of these Gaussians are calculated by an induction model which includes both local and matrix (or alloy) effects; the amplitude weightings are determined from a random statistical model for the local bonding environments of the Si-O groups in the ${\mathrm{SiO}}_{\mathrm{r}}$ alloy. We find that the frequency shifts caused by changes in the matrix, and associated with different values of r, are comparable to the shifts associated with the different local environments. The combination of these effects serves to diminish the discreteness of subband features in the absorption spectrum.

TL;DR: It does not follow that the usual measures of linkage disequilibrium are zero, but care is needed in the drawing of inferences from marker Hardy-Weinberg disequilibria for disease-susceptibility loci with more than two alleles.
Abstract: We review and extend a recent suggestion that fine-scale localization of a disease-susceptibility locus for a complex disease be done on the basis of deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium among affected individuals. This deviation is driven by linkage disequilibrium between disease and marker loci in the whole population and requires a heterogeneous genetic basis for the disease. A finding of marker-locus Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium therefore implies disease heterogeneity and marker-disease linkage disequilibrium. Although a lack of departure of Hardy-Weinberg disequilibrium at marker loci implies that disease susceptibilityweighted linkage disequilibria are zero, given disease heterogeneity, it does not follow that the usual measures of linkage disequilibrium are zero. For disease-susceptibility loci with more than two alleles, therefore, care is needed in the drawing of inferences from marker Hardy-Weinberg disequilibria.

TL;DR: It is argued that inclusive fitness theory has been of little value in explained the natural world, and that it has led to negligible progress in explaining the evolution of eusociality, but these arguments are based upon a misunderstanding of evolutionary theory and a misrepresentation of the empirical literature.
Abstract: Arising from M. A. Nowak, C. E. Tarnita & E. O. Wilson 466, 1057-1062 (2010); Nowak et al. reply. Nowak et al. argue that inclusive fitness theory has been of little value in explaining the natural world, and that it has led to negligible progress in explaining the evolution of eusociality. However, we believe that their arguments are based upon a misunderstanding of evolutionary theory and a misrepresentation of the empirical literature. We will focus our comments on three general issues.
