Genetic distance as an alternative to physical distance for definition of gene units in association studies

Distance-enhanced association rules for gene expression

We introduce a novel data mining technique for the analysis of gene expression. Gene expression is the effective production of the protein that a gene encodes. We focus on the characterization of the expression patterns of genes based on their promoter regions. The promoter region of a gene contains short sequences called motifs to which gene regulatory proteins may bind, thereby controlling wh...

An iterative approach for estimation of efficiency by weighted distance

On the choice of genetic distance in spatial-genetic studies.

We look at how to choose genetic distance so as to maximize the power of detecting spatial structure. We answer this question through analyzing two population genetic models that allow for a spatially structured population in a continuous habitat. These models, like most that incorporate spatial structure, can be characterized by a separation of timescales: the history of the sample can be spli...

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Fitness Distance Correlation , as statisticalmeasure of Genetic

This paper revisits past works on tness distance correlation (FDC) in relation to genetic algorithms (GA) performance , and puts forth evidence that this statistical measure is relevant to predict the performance of a GA. We propose an interpretation of Hamming-distance based FDC, which takes into account the GA dynamics and the eeects of crossover operator. We base this proposition on the noti...
