To understand the selection mechanism behind mutations, network - based studies were used to estimate the importance of a mutated protein compared to non-mutated ones in signalling and protein — protein interaction networks.10, 11,12,13 Proteins mutated in cancer were found having a high
number of interacting partners (i.e., a high degree of connectivity), which indicates high local importance.10 Mutated proteins are also often found in the centre of the network, in key
global positions, as quantified by the
number of shortest paths passing through them if all proteins are connected with each other (i.e., they have high betweenness centrality; hereafter called betweenness).11, 12 Mutated proteins also have high clustering coefficients, which means their neighbours are also neighbours of each other.10, 13 Moreover, neighbourhood analysis of mutated proteins have been previously successfully used to
predict novel cancer - related genes.14, 15 However, to the best of our knowledge, no study has concentrated particularly on the topological importance of first neighbours of mutated proteins in cancer, and their usefulness as drug targets themselves.

There will undoubtedly also be a
number of claims made that aren't true; 2008 is not the coolest year this decade (that was 2000),
global warming hasn't «stopped», CO2 continues to be a greenhouse gas, and such variability is indeed
predicted by climate models.
When we look into the future and try to
predict the behavior of two highly complex systems, the
global economy and the atmosphere, we need to see that the
numbers must be considered to have wide error margins.
This is despite using observed ice sheet mass loss (0.19 mm / year) in the «modelled»
number in this comparison, otherwise the discrepancy would be even larger — the ice sheet models
predict that the ice sheets gain mass due to
global warming.

Aviation emissions currently represent around 2 percent of
global carbon emissions, but as the industry continues to grow, that
number is

I'm not really that familiar with the efforts that have been made to validate the hindcast of
global climate models, BUT if they are skillful with respect to the
number of degrees of freedom they use and
predict, then they are skillful.

Suppose the IPCC of the day had actually gotten the science right and was
predicting a
global warming of 0.8 degrees C for the next century — a prediction that had already been supported by a

In comparison, the researchers say that a

predict too frequent precipitation that often falls too early in the day.
The IPCC * itself * acknowledges that there has been no such warming now for the last 16 - 17 years; that no dramatic imminent change is seen to that for the next couple of years at least; that the previous spell of 15 years or so was precisely the duration of warming that underlay so much of the evidence cited for its alarms of the long and terrible
global trend if forecast; that not a single model the IPCC had or has seems to have come even close to
predicting what we've now seen; that the IPCC can only suggest possible explanations for all this so logically meaning it can have no reason to believe that whatever is causing it isn't going to continue forever; that more and more studies are coming in attributing
global temperatures not to CO2 but instead other things such as solar fluctuations; that a
number of predictions are now coming in that in fact say we are now in for a lengthy period of * cooling.
But the new work shows no clear change in the overall
