Miocene Hominoids from Pakistan
Remains of hominoid primates collected by Yale Peabody Museum Geological Survey of Pakistan expeditions to the Siwalik Group rocks of the Potwar Plateau, Pakistan, are described. They consist of facial, gnathic, dental, and postcranial remains of Ramapithecus, Sivapithecus, and Gigantopithecus. They are discussed anatomically and without precise taxonomic attributions. The hominoids come from 2...
متن کاملDivergence Measures for Dna Segmentation
Entropy-based divergence measures have shown promising results in many areas of engineering and image processing. In this study, we use the Jensen-Shannon and Jensen-Rényi divergence measures for DNA segmentation. Based on these information theoretic measures and protein shape coded in DNA, we propose a new approach to the problem of finding the borders between coding and noncoding DNA regions....
متن کاملNested Inequalities Among Divergence Measures
In this paper we have considered an inequality having 11 divergence measures. Out of them three are logarithmic such as Jeffryes-Kullback-Leiber [4] [5] J-divergence. Burbea-Rao [1] Jensen-Shannon divergence and Taneja [7] arithmetic-geometric mean divergence. The other three are non-logarithmic such as Hellinger discrimination, symmetric χ−divergence, and triangular discrimination. Three more ...
متن کاملDivergence of the genes on human chromosome 21 between human and other hominoids and variation of substitution rates among transcription units.
The study of genomic divergence between humans and primates may provide insight into the origins of human beings and the genetic basis of unique human traits and diseases. Chromosome 21 is the smallest chromosome in the human genome, and some of its regions have been implicated in mental retardation and other diseases. In this study, we sequenced the coding and regulatory regions of 127 known g...
متن کاملThe Thoracic Shape of Hominoids
In hominoids, the broad thorax has been assumed to contribute to their dorsal scapular position. However, the dorsoventral diameter of their cranial thorax was found in one study to be longer in hominoids. There are insufficient data on thoracic shape to explain the relationship between broad thorax and dorsal scapular position. The current study presents data on multilevel cross-sectional shap...
