Stable recombination hotspots in birds.
The DNA-binding protein PRDM9 has a critical role in specifying meiotic recombination hotspots in mice and apes, but it appears to be absent from other vertebrate species, including birds. To study the evolution and determinants of recombination in species lacking the gene that encodes PRDM9, we inferred fine-scale genetic maps from population resequencing data for two bird species: the zebra f...
متن کاملAnalyzing and Displaying of Crime Hotspots using Fuzzy Mapping Method
Pattern detection is one of the essential challenges in crime mapping and analysis. Data mining can be used to explore crime detection problems. A cluster technique is an effective method for determining areas with high concentrations of localized events. Conversely, it remains a particularly demanding task to detect hotspots with mapping methods in view of the vulnerability connected with the ...
متن کاملSafe Tcl: A Toolbox for Constructing Electronic Meeting Places
Electronic commerce needs electronic meeting places to conduct business. To be useful, such meeting places must be safe for all participants and for hosts (owners of places). In this paper we discuss safety issues for participants and hosts. We then describe a system we are building, Safe Tcl, that will allow the construction of electronic meeting places with a range of safety properties. Safe ...

متن کاملDisproportionate Declines in Ground-Foraging Insectivorous Birds after Mistletoe Removal
Insectivorous birds have been recognized as disproportionately sensitive to land-use intensification and habitat loss, with those species feeding primarily on the ground exhibiting some of the most dramatic declines. Altered litter inputs and availability of epigeic arthropods have been suggested to underlie reduced abundances and shrinking distributions but direct evidence is lacking. I used a...
