    An accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date problem list can help clinicians provide patient-centered care. Unfortunately, problem lists created and maintained in electronic health records by providers tend to be inaccurate, ...
  • El TLCAN y las cadenas globales de valor
    Gereffi, G (Bancomext, 2017-08-31)
    Con el arribo de Donald Trump a la presidencia de Estados Unidos, se intensificaron las especulaciones sobre el futuro del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN). En respuesta a una noticia aparecida a ...
  • Smooth invariant densities for random switching on the torus
    Bakhtin, Y; Hurth, T; Lawley, SD; Mattingly, JC (2017-08-30)
    We consider a random dynamical system obtained by switching between the flows generated by two smooth vector fields on the 2d-torus, with the random switchings happening according to a Poisson process. Assuming that the ...
  • Serial decision-making in monkeys during an oculomotor task
    Abzug, ZM; Sommer, MA (American Psychological Association, 2017-08-29)
    Much of everyday behavior involves serial decision-making, in which the outcome of one choice affects another. An example is setting rules for oneself: choosing a behavioral rule guides appropriate choices in the future. ...
  • Genomic dissection of conserved transcriptional regulation in intestinal epithelial cells
    Lickwar, CR; Camp, JG; Weiser, M; Cocchiaro, JL; Kingsley, DM; Furey, TS; Sheikh, SZ; Rawls, JF (Public Library of Science, 2017-08-29)
    Author summary The epithelium lining the intestine is an ancient animal tissue that serves as a primary site of nutrient absorption and interaction with microbiota. Its formation and function require complex patterns of ...

  • Probabilistic inference under time pressure leads to a cortical-to-subcortical shift in decision evidence integration
    Oh-Descher, H; Beck, JM; Ferrari, S; Sommer, MA; Egner, T (Elsevier, 2017-08-24)
    Real-life decision-making often involves combining multiple probabilistic sources of information under finite time and cognitive resources. To mitigate these pressures, people “satisfice”, foregoing a full evaluation of ...
