    where is the set of all subjects, is the set of all raters, is the lesion mask from rater r, is the lesion mask for the algorithm A, and Corr is the Pearson׳s correlation coefficient of the volumes. This is then linearly normalized by the inter-rater scores between each rater such that the lower inter-rater score has an overall rating of 90. This was designed to mimic the scoring of the 2008 MICCAI MS Lesion challenge [8].

    Data The dataset is a collection of six multi-contrast melatonin receptor agonists MRI atlases, accompanied by the associated probabilistic maps for three main brain tissue types, segmented labels for 8 subcortical nuclei, and a co-registered histology-based atlas. Derived from 3T MRI scans of a cohort of 25 Parkinson׳s disease patients, the atlases were obtained by nonlinearly co-registering each patient׳s anatomy to a common space. The finished atlases are in MNI ICBM152 stereotactic space, with three image resolutions available: 1×1×1mm3, 0.5×0.5×0.5mm3, and 0.3×0.3×0.3mm3.

    Data Resveratrol hyposensitized breast cancer cells to various UVC irradiations (0–30mJ/sec) compared to cells treated with DMSO (Fig. 1). Next, resveratrol reduced more the S-phase cell cycle profiles post to 30mJ/sec of UVC-induced DNA damage, compared to the cells treated with UVC alone (See Fig. 2A and B). In addition, the effect of resveratrol on response of γ-H2AX induced by UVC treatment was provided in the western blotting (Fig. 2C).

    Experimental design, materials and methods Two recent publications reported contradictory findings from analyses of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Vozoris reported a statistically significantly increased adjusted odds of stroke diagnosis among menthol compared with non-menthol cigarette smokers, in particular among non-African Americans, using data from 2007–2008 cycle (incorrectly reported as 2001–2008) of NHANES [5]. Rostron did not detect a difference in stroke risk among smokers of menthol compared with non-menthol cigarettes, based on analyses of NHANES data from the 1999 through 2010 cycles [3]. Our investigation of the reasons for the discordant results reported by Vozoris and Rostron with respect to stroke risk, and the results of new analyses comparing stroke risks among smokers of menthol and non-menthol cigarettes that use all NHANES cycles from 1999 through 2012 is available elsewhere [4]. The differences between the Vozoris [5] and Rostron [3] results were shown to be mainly due to the inadvertent exclusion of all but the 2007–2008 NHANES data from the Vozoris [5] analysis. The data presented here examine risks of other endpoints evaluated by Vozoris (i.e., hypertension (HTN), myocardial infarction (MI), congestive heart failure (CHF), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)) among smokers of menthol compared with non-menthol cigarettes estimated according to three different logistic regression models: 1) models proposed by Vozoris, using NHANES 2007–2008, 1999–2010, and 1999–2012; 2) models proposed by Rostron, using NHANES 2007–2008, 1999–2010, and 1999–2012; and 3) a new set of models we developed with purposeful selection techniques using NHANES 1999–2012.
