Nucleotide sequences: Who's banker?

Whos In the Picture

The context in which a name appears in a caption provides powerful cues as to who is depicted in the associated image. We obtain 44,773 face images, using a face detector, from approximately half a million captioned news images and automatically link names, obtained using a named entity recognizer, with these faces. A simple clustering method can produce fair results. We improve these results s...

Banker Locus of Control

I. Background Of The Study LOC is seen as a spectrum from individuals who have an internal LOC and believe in personal ability and efforts as major determinants of outcomes to individual who have an external LOC believe in luck, fate higher powers and task difficulty as major determinants or outcomes. Therefore individuals with an internal LOC expect their actions to affects what happens to the...

Statistical analysis of nucleotide sequences.

In order to scan nucleic acid databases for potentially relevant but as yet unknown signals, we have developed an improved statistical model for pattern analysis of nucleic acid sequences by modifying previous methods based on Markov chains. We demonstrate the importance of selecting the appropriate parameters in order for the method to function at all. The model allows the simultaneous analysi...

New symmetry in nucleotide sequences

Information valuable words are the strings with the significant deviation of real frequency from the expected one. The expected frequency is determined through the maximum entropy principle of the reconstructed (extended) frequency dictionary of strings composed from the shorter words. The information valuable words are found to be the complementary palindromes: they are read equally in opposit...
