"The Liberation of Italy" by Countess Evelyn Martinengo-Cesaresco

In news:
Here you can view a one-hour video that asks, "In what ways can art convey equilibrium or disequilibrium".
For many, this state of disequilibrium is one to be avoided at all costs.

In science:
The Hardy–Weinberg disequilibrium coefficient and its use to detect the underlying genetic model is given in Section 3.
Robust Tests in Genome-Wide Scans under Incomplete Linkage Disequilibrium
The Hardy–Weinberg disequilibrium (HWD) coefficient in cases or between cases and controls has been used to detect association (Nielsen, Ehm and Weir, 1998; Zaykin and Nielsen, 2000; Song and Elston, 2006).
Robust Tests in Genome-Wide Scans under Incomplete Linkage Disequilibrium
In this article we studied genetic models under a general imperfect (or incomplete) LD model with linkage disequilibrium between linked marker locus and functional locus.
Robust Tests in Genome-Wide Scans under Incomplete Linkage Disequilibrium
The power to detect a true association is reduced when the linkage disequilibrium decreases, while the model uncertainty increases, complicating the choice of a single association statistic.
Robust Tests in Genome-Wide Scans under Incomplete Linkage Disequilibrium
Detecting marker-disease association by testing for HardyWeinberg disequilibrium at a marker locus.
