Lecture 13

We discuss two ways to determine, given I ⊂ S, whether I ∈ I. The first method is based on the previous lecture, where we considered the set Ŝ = ∪̇Ŝi, a union of disjoint copies of the Si. Formally, we write Ŝ = {(e, i) : e ∈ Si}. There is a natural mapping f : Ŝ → ∪Si which maps (e, i) to e. We can now define a partition matroid Mp over the ground set Ŝ, where I(Mp) = { I ⊆ Ŝ s.t. ∀e ∈ S : |I ∩...

Selection rarely (if ever!) simply acts on a single trait. In reality, selection occurs simultaneously on an entire suite of characters. These next two lectures deal with the theory of selection response and the measurement of selection (13 and 14, respectively) on multiple traits. The key concerns required for this theory are the phenotype and genetic (breeding values) correlations/covariances...

Lecture 13

Communication complexity roughly asks how much two information two parties need to exchange between one another in order to compute a function on their inputs. This has applications in areas like circuit design, where we can model a board as being partitioned in two halves and we wish to find how how information has to pass from one partition to another. Of course, there are also many applicati...

Serious sepsis is a major medical problem. Studies from the USA and Europe attest to its importance and possibly increasing incidence. Annually, an estimated 400,000– 600,000 persons develop sepsis in the USA and, of these, approximately 35% die. Although surgery, transplantation, cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunomodulation and other advances in the management of disease increase longevity, these ...
