Introduction to Generalized Linear Models Introduction This short course provides an overview of generalized linear models (GLMs). We shall see that these models extend the linear modelling framework to variables that are not Normally distributed. GLMs are most commonly used to model binary or count data, so


Tell Me about those Pesky CLASS Variables, Part 1: GLM and Reference Coding
While many analysts understand how to interpret the parameter estimates from linear regression with continuous input variables, they may feel less comfortable with parameter estimates from models with categorical inputs.


Parameter estimates
A standardized parameter estimate (commonly known as standardized beta coefficient) removes the unit of measurement of predictor and response variables. They represent the change in standard deviations of the response for 1 standard deviation change of the predictor.


7.2.2 - Overdispersion
There is no other distribution with support {0,1}. Therefore, with ungrouped data, we should always assume scale=1 and not try to estimate a scale parameter and adjust for overdispersion. Summary of Adjusting for Overdispersion in the Binary Logistic Regression. The usual way to correct for overdispersion in a logit model is to assume that:


Parameter estimates
Parameter estimates Parameter estimates (also called coefficients) are the change in the response associated with a one-unit change of the predictor, all other predictors being held constant. The unknown model parameters are estimated using least-squares estimation.

Hello, I have a question regarding estimation of the dispersion parameter (theta) for generalized linear models with the negative binomial error structure. As I understand, there are two main methods to fit glm's using the nb error structure in R: glm.nb() or glm() with the negative.binomial(theta) family.

On that line, do you know of a way for sas to actually tell us what two things are being contrasted? When you're dealing with 20 1's and 0's, it can be quite easy to make a mistake, so is it possible to get it to tell me that the contrast is Breed 1 x Treatment 1 vs Breed 5 x Treatment 1? â Michael Jan 5 '16 at 23:29


How to interpret parameter estimates in Poisson GLM results [closed]
Your dispersion parameter seems to indicate that there are some problems with your model. Perhaps you should consider using a quasipoisson distribution instead. I bet your parameter estimates will change drastically and so will the interpretation. If you run plot(model) you will get some plots of your residuals, have a look at these plots for unwanted patterns before you start interpreting your actual model.

Inflammation of one of the abdominal organs can cause cramping. Irritable bowel syndrome can cause abdominal cramping. Any situation in which a woman experiences prolonged abdominal pain, particularly with a headache, should be addressed by a medical professional. Abdominal cramping may be caused by a stomach virus. An illustration of a human stomach, a major organ in the abdomen.


What Causes Abdominal Cramping?
Most of the time, abdominal cramps during pregnancy are nothing to worry about, but sharp pain and bloody discharge can be a sign of an ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, or labor. Preeclampsia and placental abruption can also cause severe abdominal pain.


Common Causes of Stomach Pain
Common Causes of Stomach Pain, # 4: You've got a bowel that's easily irritated. If you've had intestinal pain for more than three months, you may have what doctors call irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a problem that affects about one in every five women.

1 Cramp-like pain: This type of pain is not serious most of the time. It is likely to be due to gas and bloating, and is often followed by diarrhea. More worrisome signs include pain that occurs more often, lasts than 24 hours, or occurs with a fever.  Colicky pain: This type of pain comes in waves.


Abdominal Pain
1 If the pain becomes more severe, it may be caused by a blockage of the intestines.  Localized pain: This is pain found in only one area of your belly. It is more likely to be a sign of a problem in an organ, such as the appendix, gallbladder, or stomach.


What Causes Abdominal Cramping?
Abdominal cramping is a painful condition caused by contractions of the muscles in and around the abdomen. The pain can be acute and sudden or chronic and gradual. Though most cases are caused by minor illnesses, severe cramping can sometimes be a sign of a more serious condition.


Common Causes of Stomach Pain
For more severe cases, your doctor may prescribe Zelnorm, a medication that regulates the movement of stools through your bowels, and may suggest dietary changes and relaxation techniques, such as yoga. Stomach pains can occur if youâre lactose intolerant.


Common Causes of Stomach Pain
Other sugar substitutes to monitor: maltitol, mannitol and xylitol, also found in some sugarless gum as well as in low-carb products. (Sometimes these are listed just as sugar alcohols on labels.) Yet another of the common causes of stomach pain is celiac disease, managed by a gluten free diet.


7 Types of Veterinary Specialists
7 Types of Veterinary Specialists. ... There are a wide variety of different veterinary specialists. While a general veterinarian can be effective at treating most of the conditions encountered by animals, sometimes specialists need to be called in to handle more in-depth matters. Here are 7 different types of veterinary specialists.

Veterinarians
Duties of Veterinarians. Veterinarians treat the injuries and illnesses of pets and other animals with a variety of medical equipment, including surgical tools and x-ray and ultrasound machines. They provide treatment for animals that is similar to the services a physician provides to treat humans.


Surgery
A surgeon is a person who practices surgery and a surgeon's assistant is a person who practices surgical assistance. A surgical team is made up of surgeon, surgeon's assistant, anesthesia provider, circulating nurse and surgical technologist. Surgery usually spans minutes to hours, but it is typically not an ongoing or periodic type of treatment. The term surgery can also refer to the place where surgery is performed, or simply the office of a physician, dentist, or veterinarian.

Axioms of Human Communication
The first and most famous axiom of human communication is one cannot not communicate.. What this double negative means is that you have no choice in whether you do or don't communicate. Everything you say or do conveys some kind of message. Even if you do nothing, that sends a message of its own.


Paul Watzlawick
Paul Watzlawick PhD (* July 25, 1921 in Villach, Austria) is one of the world's leading theoreticians in Communication Theory and Radical Constructivism and very important inspiration in the field of family therapy and general psychotherapy. He is living and working in California. After he graduated from high school in 1939 in Villach, Paul Watzlawick studied psychology and philology at the University of Venice and graduated in 1949. He then worked at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich, where he received an additional diploma in 1954.


One cannot not communicate
Another question to think about is whether communication is an intentional activity, or whether it is just part of who are regardless of the medium or intention. Paul Watzlawick was a great researcher on the topic of communication, somewhat forgotten in the digital age but incredibly relevant.


Axioms of Human Communication
Communication has two parts, which Watzlawick referred to as digital and analogic.. Digital elements are things with concrete, fairly universally understood meanings, such as words or certain gestures that have literal translations.


Axioms of Human Communication
Context and Punctuation. Watzlawick said that words used in communication draw their meaning from the context of the relationship between speaker and listener. If you call someone a loser, the word means one thing if the person is a close friend, but can mean an entirely different thing if it's a casual acquaintance.

Communication is an ever present feature of human interaction. The five axioms of communication, formulated by Paul Watzlawick and his colleagues help to describe the processes of communication that take place during interaction and help to explain how a misunderstanding may come about. A few notes are added to tune the axioms better into a transcultural context.


One cannot not communicate
In the age of rapid electronic messaging, the gap between what is communicated and what is received can be drastic, especially when we cannot measure what is received. Watzlawick coined another distinction between what he called digital and analog communication, which is not the digital and analog we know. By digital he meant words, whereas analog depicts the non-verbal. Communication had to involve both, i.e. words and the way in which they were being delivered through behavior.


The five axioms of communication (Watzlawick) â with a few cultural notes
The fourth axiom is that communication can be both digital and analogical. The digital code is what the person says, what the words actually mean, while the analogical code has to do with how something is said or the nonverbal cues that go along with it.

The five axioms of communication (Watzlawick).. and a few cultural notes
As Watzlawick, Beavin, and Jackson (1967) put it, All such relationship statements are about one or several of the following assertions: âThis is how I see myselfâ¦this is how I see youâ¦this is how I see you seeing meâ¦â and therefore determines how this communication is to be taken (pg. 3).


Cortisol and stress
Cortisol is a corticosteroid hormone produced by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex (in the adrenal gland). It is a vital hormone that is often referred to as the stress hormone as it is involved in the response to physical and psychological stress.


-
Stress is simply a reaction to a stimulus that disturbs our physical or mental equilibrium. In other words, it's an omnipresent part of life. A stressful event can trigger the âfight-or-flightâ response, causing hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol to surge through the body.


What is cortisol?
Cortisol is produced by the adrenal glands in response to signals from the pituitary gland and hypothalamus of the brain. The secretion of cortisol increases in response to psychological or physical stress of any kind.

What is cortisol?
Cortisol is a steriod hormone produced by the adrenal gland. The hormone is released in response to stress and low levels of blood sugar and its primary function is to increase blood sugar levels, suppress the immune system and aid in metabolism.


Does anyone peri have this weird head feeling?
In other words, it's an omnipresent part of life. A stressful event can trigger the âfight-or-flightâ response, causing hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol to surge through the body. A little bit of stress, known as âacute stress,â can be excitingâit keeps us active and alert.


What is cortisol?
The amount of cortisol produced by the adrenals is precisely balanced. Like many other hormones, cortisol is regulated by the brain's hypothalamus and the pituitary gland. First, the hypothalamus releases a trigger hormone called corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) that signals the pituitary gland.


What is the Stress Response?
The hypothalamus in the brain is in charge of the stress response. When a stress response is triggered, it sends signals to two other structures: the pituitary gland, and the adrenal medulla. These short term responses are produced by The Fight or Flight Response via the Sympathomedullary Pathway (SAM).


corticosteroids
1. Cortisone and other hormones produced in the cortex of each adrenal gland. Corticosteroids help to control the balance of salts and sugars in the body. 2. Natural or synthetic hormones that assist metabolism, act in relation to stress, or maintain the salt-andwater balance in the body.

When Should You Be Concerned About Thyroid Nodules?
Many people with thyroid conditions have thyroid nodules, which are abnormal growths of thyroid tissue. Most of the time these nodules donât lead to any serious problems. Despite this, some endocrinologists are quick to recommend surgery to their patients who have thyroid nodul es.


Thyroid surgery: Recovery
Thyroid hormone replacement is given immediately after a total thyroidectomyTotal thyroidectomy - removal of the whole thyroid if cancer is not involved. If patients have cancer, the thyroid replacement dose and type of thyroid medication will be dictated by the surgeon in the upcoming few weeks after surgery.


Thyroid Nodules
Thyroid Nodules. The thyroid gland is located in the lower front of the neck, below the voicebox (larynx) located in the upper part of the neck, and above the collarbones. A thyroid nodule is a lump in or on the thyroid gland. Thyroid nodules are common and detected in about six percent of women and one to two percent of men; they are less common in younger patients and occur 10 times as often in older individuals, but are usually not diagnosed.


When Should You Be Concerned About Thyroid Nodules?
When the thyroid nodule is causing hyperthyroidism. If the nodule is stimulating the thyroid gland to the extent where it is producing an excess amount of thyroid hormone, then it might be a good idea to remove the thyroid nodule.


Tracheotomy
Surgery Overview. Thyroid surgery is used to treat thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer, and hyperthyroidism. During this procedure, part or all of the thyroid gland is removed. During surgery, an incision is made in the skin. The muscle and other tissues are pulled aside to expose the thyroid gland.


Surgical Removal of Thyroid Nodules
About thyroid surgery. Thyroid nodules can be removed surgically with a lobectomy or a total thyroidectomy. In a lobectomy, the surgeon removes only the section â called a lobe â that contains the lump. In a total thyroidectomy, the surgeon removes the entire thyroid.


Thyroidectomy
Benign nodules include: 1  Multinodular goiter, also called a non-toxic goiter. 2  Chronic thyroiditis (Hashimoto's disease) is an inflammation of the thyroid gland that develops slowly. 3  Benign follicular adenomas.  Thyroid cysts are nodules filled with fluid.


Thyroid surgery: Recovery
After surgery, the patient will have a sore throat. Mild hoarseness is common and should go away within one to two weeks. There is not much pain involved with thyroid surgery. Rarely, narcotic pain medication (such as morphine) is required afterwards in the recovery room. Most patients, in fact, will just need acetaminophen (Tylenol) to control their discomfort. The patient can usually eat and drink normally the night of the procedure.


When Should You Be Concerned About Thyroid Nodules?
When the thyroid nodule is cancerous. Obviously if the nodule is malignant, then this would be a good reason to have it removed. Fortunately, most thyroid nodules are benign and cause no problems. In fact, only about 5% to 10% of nodules are malignant.


Thyroid Gland Removal
Sometimes a nodule, inflammation, or swelling affects only half of the thyroid gland. When this happens, a doctor will remove only one of the two lobes. The part left behind should retain some or all of its function.


Desert Soils
Soil Colors. Desert soils come in a variety of colors. Some soils have the same pale, brownish color from top to bottom, but others may be layered with browns, reds, pinks, and whites. Argillic horizons of many older soils in the Sonoran Desert are a distinct, rusty brick red.

Contents-Previous-Next. Effects of wind erosion.  The first effect is the winnowing of light particles. Wind erosion is very selective, carrying the finest particles-particularly organic matter, clay and loam-many kilometres.


Effect of Erosion and Deposition on Landforms
Erosion and Deposition. Jonah also learned that there were two other forces that also affect and form landforms. The first one is called erosion. He found that erosion is the movement of broken-down, weathered rock from place to place. His Dad took him to the garden, where there were channels made in the soft earth.


Impacts of erosion
Agriculture. Soil erosion removes valuable top soil which is the most productive part of the soil profile for agricultural purposes. The loss of this top soil results in lower yields and higher production costs. When top soil is gone, erosion can cause rills and gullies that make the cultivation of paddocks impossible. The impacts of erosion on cropping lands include: 1  reduced ability of the soil to store water and nutrients. 2  exposure of subsoil, which often has poor physical and chemical properties.


-
Factors affecting the extent of wind erosion.  Aridity of climate. Wind erosion can also take place in high-rainfall climates when certain months of the year are particularly dry (but only if the soil is tilled with techniques that crush the surface fine).


Desert Soils
Soils initially form within the physical matrix of the parent material. Over time, the composition and location of substances within the developing soil change and move around, altering the soil s characteristics.


Impacts of erosion
Soils with dispersible subsoils, for example, are subject to serious erosion by tunnelling and gully formation. Understanding the type of soil and how prone it is to erosion can help avoid problems in agriculture and on waterways and infrastructure.


Desert Soils
In the Sonoran Desert, the tops of these horizons are typically less than twenty to forty inches (50 to 100 cm) below the soil surface. Calcic horizons may be very thin (six inches; 15 cm) in some soils and contain only small amounts of calcium carbonate.


-
Their role is twofold: they cut wind-speed to reduce both evaporation and wind erosion. The effect of cutting wind-speed by 20% is operative over an area 10 to 12 times the height of the barrier before and behind it.


Desert Soils
In some of the moister parts of the Sonoran Desert, such as areas around Tucson that annually receive an average of ten inches (250 mm) or more precipitation, argillic horizons of some soils may be more than one and one-half feet (H m) thick and parts may contain more than fifty percent clay.

Relatively small doses (a single pill or even a small piece of a pill) can be toxic or deadly to any animal species (cats, dogs, ferrets, birds, pigs, primates, and many others).


Acetaminophen Toxicity in Cats and Dogs
Unfortunately, this drug can be extremely toxic (poisonous) to cats and dogs. Acetaminophen toxicity occurs when a cat or dog swallows enough of the drug to cause damaging effects in the body. Acetaminophen is mostly metabolized (broken down and eliminated from the body) by the liver.

Pottery
Granulate pressing: As the name suggests, this is the operation of shaping pottery by pressing clay in a semi-dry and granulated condition in a mould. The clay is pressed into the mould by a porous die through which water is pumped at high pressure.

Clay ware takes on varying physical characteristics during the making of pottery. 1  Greenware refers to unfired objects. 2  Leather-hard refers to a clay body that has been dried partially. 3  Bone-dry refers to clay bodies when they reach a moisture content at or near 0%.


Pottery
The first step of pressing the rough ball of clay downward and inward into perfect rotational symmetry is called centring the clayâa most important skill to master before the next steps: opening (making a centred hollow into the solid ball of clay), flooring (making the flat or rounded bottom inside the pot), throwing or pulling (drawing up and shaping the walls to an even thickness), and trimming or turning (removing excess clay to refine the shape or to create a foot).


Pottery
Pottery is made by forming a ceramic (often clay) body into objects of a required shape and heating them to high temperatures in a kiln which removes all the water from the clay, which induces reactions that lead to permanent changes including increasing their strength and hardening and setting their shape.


Pottery
Wares can be constructed by hand from coils of clay, combining flat slabs of clay, or pinching solid balls of clay or some combination of these. Parts of hand-built vessels are often joined together with the aid of slip, an aqueous suspension of clay body and water.

Other uses of clay in building is combined with straws to create light clay, wattle and daub, and mud plaster. Wet-laid clay walls


Pottery
Bisque refers to the clay after the object is shaped to the desired form and fired in the kiln for the first time, known as bisque fired or biscuit fired. This firing changes the clay body in several ways. Mineral components of the clay body will undergo chemical changes that will change the colour of the clay.


Pottery
Pottery is the craft of making ceramic material into pots or pottery wares using clay. Major types of potterywares include earthenware, stoneware and porcelain.

Reproductive Anatomy and Physiology of the Bull
Location of the testicles exterior to the body cavity is essential for normal sperm formation, which occurs only at 4 degrees to 5 degrees below body temperature. The scrotum provides physical protection to the testicle and helps regulate the temperature for optimum spermatozoa development.


Reproductive Anatomy and Physiology of the Bull
The testicle is, in turn, under the influence of hormones produced by other glands in the body. The same gonadotropic hormones that regulate ovarian functions in the cow also regulate testicular functions in the bull.


Reproductive Anatomy and Physiology of the Bull
The epididymis is a compact, flat, elongated structure closely attached to one side of the testicle. It is divided into three regions, the head, body and tail. The many tubules entered the head of the epididymis from the testicle unite to form a single tubule some 130 to 160 feet in length.

Scrotum
The function of the scrotum is to protect the testes and to keep them at a temperature several degrees below the normal body temperature. The scrotum thus protrudes from the body wall: moreover, it contracts from cold, exercise, or sexual stimulation and expands and relaxes when warm.


3. Thermoregulation of the Testes
Regulation of testicular temperature is dependent on several features. Scrotal skin is typically thin, with minimal hair and an extensive subcutaneous vasculature, facilitating heat loss by radiation. Testicular blood flow and oxygen uptake were measured in eight Angus bulls to determine the relative importance of blood flow versus metabolism as sources of testicular heat.


Testicle
The testicles of a dromedary camel are 7â10 cm (2.8â3.9 in) long, 4.5 cm (1.8 in) deep and 5 cm (2.0 in) in width. The right testicle is often smaller than the left. The testicles of a male red fox attain their greatest weight in DecemberâFebruary.


Scrotum
Scrotum, in the male reproductive system, a thin external sac of skin that is divided into two compartments; each compartment contains one of the two testes, the glands that produce sperm, and one of the epididymides, where the sperm is stored. The scrotum is a unique anatomical feature of humans and certain other species of land-dwelling mammals.


3. Thermoregulation of the Testes
Infrared thermograms of the scrotum of bulls with apparently normal scrotal thermoregulation were symmetrical left to right, with the temperature at the top 4â6Â°C warmer than at the bottom. When scrotal/testicular temperature is increased, sperm morphology is generally unaffected initially but subsequently declines.

Boron group element
Boron group element. Boron group element, any of the six chemical elements constituting Group 13 (IIIa) of the periodic table. The elements are boron (B), aluminum (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), thallium (Tl), and nihonium (Nh). They are characterized as a group by having three electrons in the outermost parts of their atomic structure.


Boron: the essentials
Back to Elements List. From the Arabic word Buraq, Persian Burah. Boron compounds have been known for thousands of years, but the element was not discovered until 1808 by Sir Humphry Davy and by Gay-Lussac and Thenard.


Boron Facts
Boron has a total of 11 known isotopes ranging from B-7 to B-17. Properties: The melting point of boron is 2079Â°C, its boiling/sublimation point is at 2550Â°C, the specific gravity of crystalline boron is 2.34, the specific gravity of the amorphous form is 2.37, and its valence is 3. Boron has interesting optical properties.


Periodic Table of Elements

Boron
The mean oxidation number for the borons is then simply the ratio of hydrogen to boron in the molecule. For example, in diborane B2H6, the boron oxidation state is +3, but in decaborane B10H14, it is 7/5 or +1.4. In these compounds the oxidation state of boron is often not a whole number.

Boron group
Boron group. The boron group are the chemical elements in group 13 of the periodic table, comprising boron (B), aluminium (Al), gallium (Ga), indium (In), thallium (Tl), and perhaps also the chemically uncharacterized nihonium (Nh). The elements in the boron group are characterized by having three electrons in their outer energy levels (valence layers).


Boron
For the quintessence of classical philosophy, see Aether (classical element). Boron is a chemical element with symbol B and atomic number 5. Produced entirely by cosmic ray spallation and supernovae and not by stellar nucleosynthesis, it is a low-abundance element in the Solar system and in the Earth's crust.

Important sources of boron are ore rasorite (kernite) and tincal (borax ore). Both of these ores are found in the Mojave Desert. Tincal is the most important source of boron from the Mojave. Extensive borax deposits are also found in Turkey. Boron exists naturally as 19.78% 10B isotope and 80.22% 11B isotope.


It's Elemental
Boron has also been used in some rockets as an ignition source. Boron-10, one of the naturally occurring isotopes of boron, is a good absorber of neutrons and is used in the control rods of nuclear reactors, as a radiation shield and as a neutron detector. Boron filaments are used in the aerospace industry because of their high-strength and lightweight.


Element Families of the Periodic Table
Three systems have been used to number families and groups: 1  The older IUPAC system used Roman numerals together with letters to distinguish between the left (A) and right (B) side of the periodic table. 2  The CAS system used letter to differentiate main group (A) and transition (B) elements.
