TLDR
The comparison of two treatments generally falls into one of the following two categories: (a) a number of replications for each of the two treatments, which are unpaired, or (b) we may have a series of paired comparisons, some of which may be positive and some negative as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract
The comparison of two treatments generally falls into one of the following two categories: (a) we may have a number of replications for each of the two treatments, which are unpaired, or (b) we may have a number of paired comparisons leading to a series of differences, some of which may be positive and some negative. The appropriate methods for testing the significance of the differences of the means in these two cases are described in most of the textbooks on statistical methods.

The influence of the posterior and inter-mediate lobe of the pituitary and pituitary peptides on the maintenance of a conditioned avoidance response in rats

TL;DR: The data indicate that the presence of the posterior and/or intermediate lobe of the pituitary is essential for the maintenance of the avoidance response and that peptides representing these structures are physiologically involved in this process.

Binary ant lion approaches for feature selection

TL;DR: Binary variants of the ant lion optimizer (ALO) are proposed and used to select the optimal feature subset for classification purposes in wrapper-mode and prove the capability of the proposed binary algorithms to search the feature space for optimal feature combinations regardless of the initialization and the used stochastic operators.

Mammalian Housekeeping Genes Evolve More Slowly than Tissue-Specific Genes

TL;DR: The results show that, in comparison to tissue-specific genes, housekeeping genes on average evolve more slowly and are under stronger selective constraints as reflected by significantly smaller values of Ka/Ks, and contrary to the old textbook concept, approximately 74% of theHousekeeping genes in this study belong to multigene families, not significantly different from that of the tissue- specific genes.
