In this paper, we describe the R package mediation for conducting causal mediation analysis in applied empirical research.In many scientific disciplines, the goal of researchers is not only estimating causal effects of a treatment but also understanding the process in which the treatment causally affects the outcome.Causal mediation analysis is fre
Despite limited regeneration capacity, partial injuries to the adult mammalian spinal cord can elicit variable degrees of functional recovery, mediated at least in part by reorganization of neuronal circuitry.Underlying mechanisms are believed to include synaptic plasticity and collateral sprouting of spared axons.Because plasticity is higher in yo
Abstract Background In Belgium, the Planning Commission for Medical Supply is responsible for monitoring human resources for health (HRH) and ultimately proposing workforce quotas.It is supported by the Planning Unit for the Supply of the Health Professions.This Unit quantifies and forecasts the workforce in the healthcare professions on the basis
Direct manipulation of brain activity can be used to investigate causal brain-behavior relationships.Current noninvasive neural stimulation techniques are too coarse to manipulate behaviors that correlate with fine-grained spatial patterns recorded by fMRI.However, these activity patterns can be manipulated by having people learn to self-regulate t
We establish WKB estimates for linear dynamic systems with a small parameter on a time scale unifying continuous and discrete WKB method.We introduce an adiabatic invariant for dynamic system on a time scale, which is a generalization of adiabatic invariant of Lorentz_s pendulum.As an application we prove that The Arizona Pant the change of adiabat
