Expert subject Biology date April 2009 Quantitative human behavioural genetics is a specialisation in the biology biological field of behaviour genetics that studies the role of genetics in human behaviour employing Quantitative genetics quantitative genetic methods. The field is an overlap of quantitative genetics and psychology . Classically, human behavioural geneticists have studied the Biological inheritance inheritance of behavioural traits. Image Francis Galton.jpg thumb right 140px Francis Galton History In 1869, Francis Galton published the first empirical work in human behavioural genetics, Hereditary Genius . Here, Galton intended to demonstrate that a man s natural abilities are derived by inheritance, under exactly the same limitations as are the form and physical features of the whole organic world. Like most seminal work, he overstated his conclusions. His was a family study on the inheritance of intelligence inheritance of giftedness and talent . Galton was aware that resemblance among familial relatives can be a function of both shared inheritance and shared environments. Contemporary human behavioural quantitative genetics studies special populations such as Twin study twins and Adoption adoptees . The initial impetus behind this research was to demonstrate that there were indeed genetic influences on human behaviour. In psychology, this phase lasted for the first half of the 20th century largely because of the overwhelming influence of behaviourism in the field. Later behavioural genetic research focused on quantitative method s.

Unreferenced date December 2009 In chemistry, quantitative analysis is the determination of the absolute or relative abundance often expressed as a concentration of one, several or all particular Chemical substance substance s present in a sample. Once the presence of certain substance s in a sample is known, the study of their absolute or relative abundance can help in determining specific properties. Knowing the composition of a sample is very important and several ways have been developed to make it possible, like gravimetric and volumetric analysis. Gravimetric analysis yields more accurate data about the composition of a sample than volumetric analysis does, but the first one takes more time to perform in the laboratory. Volumetric analysis in the other side doesn t take that much time and the results that we obtain are in the most cases satisfactory. Volumetric analysis can be simply ... based in a redox reaction.

Quantitative structure activity relationship models QSAR models are regression analysis regression models used in the chemical and biological sciences and engineering. Like other regression models, QSAR models relate measurements on a set of predictor variables to the behavior of the response variable . In QSAR modeling, the predictors consist of properties of chemicals the QSAR response variable is a the biological activity of the chemicals. QSAR models first summarize a supposed relationship between chemical structure s and biological activity in a data set of chemicals. Second QSAR models predictive inference predict the activities of new chemicals. Related terms include quantitative structure property relationships QSPR . For example, biological activity can be expressed quantitatively as the concentration of a substance required to give a certain biological response. Additionally, when physicochemical properties or structures are expressed by numbers, one can form a mathematical relationship, or quantitative structure activity relationship, between the two. The mathematical expression can then be used to predict the biological response of other chemical structures.

Quantitative feedback theory QFT , developed by Isaac Horowitz Horowitz, 1963 Horowitz and Sidi, 1972 , is a frequency domain technique utilising the Nichols plot Nichols chart NC in order to achieve a desired robust design over a specified region of plant uncertainty. Desired time domain time domain responses are translated into frequency domain tolerances, which lead to bounds or constraints on the loop transmission function. The design process is highly transparent, allowing a designer to see what trade offs are necessary to achieve a desired performance level. Plant templates Image Qftsystem.jpeg thumb 320px QFT Feedback System Usually any system can be represented by its Transform Function Laplace transform Laplace in continuous time domain , after getting the model of a system. As a result of experimental measurement, values of coefficients in the Transform Function have a range of uncertainty.

Quantitative risk assessment QRA software and methodologies give quantitative estimates of risks, given the parameters defining them. They are used in the financial sector, the chemical process industry, and other areas. In financial terms, quantitative risk assessments include a calculation of the single loss expectancy of monetary value of an asset. In the chemical process and petrochemical industries a QRA is primarily concerned with determining the potential loss of life caused by undesired events.

Orphan date November 2006 The quantitative insulin sensitivity check index QUICKI is derived using the inverse of the sum of the logarithms of the fasting insulin and fasting glucose math 1 log fasting insulin U mL log fasting glucose mg dL This index correlates well with glucose clamp technique glucose clamp studies r 0.78 , and is useful for measuring insulin sensitivity IS , which is the inverse of insulin resistance IR . It has the advantage of that it can be obtained from a fasting blood sample, and is the preferred method for certain types of clinical research.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2000 Jul 85 7 2402 10. PMID 10902785 Values typically associated with the QUICKI calculation for insulin resistance in humans fall broadly within a range between 0.45 for unusually healthy individuals and 0.30 in diabetics. So lower numbers reflect greater insulin resistance. Source as above Katz et al. Also data for unusually healthy individuals derived from those practicing caloric restriction.
