An Experimental Method Determining Composition Distribution for a Complex Mixture

Screening for a Multivariate Mixture Normal Distribution

A rapid method for determining clone frequency in complex populations using PCR and the Poisson distribution.

There are instances in which it is desirable to know the frequency of a particular cloned nucleic acid species in a complex population. For instance, before undertaking isolation of a clone from a library, it is helpful to know how many clones should be screened; also, the frequency of a clone in a cDNA population may be taken as a first approximation of mRNA frequency (keeping in mind possible...

An inexpensive method of determining body composition by underwater weighing.

A simple inexpensive densiometric method of determining body composition was compared to a more sophisticated one. Body density (Db), lean body mass (LBM), and relative fat content (%fat) were determined for 16 volunteers, 9 men and 7 women using a simple T-bar apparatus suspended in a swimming pool, and an electronic apparatus in conjunction with a metal tank. Residual volumes (RV) used in the...

A quantitative method for determining the robustness of complex networks

Most current studies estimate the invulnerability of complex networks using a qualitative method that analyzes the decay rate of network performance. This method results in confusion over the invulnerability of various types of complex networks. By normalizing network performance and defining a baseline, this paper defines the invulnerability index as the integral of the normalized network perf...
