Response to mass selection when an identified major gene is segregating

Treatment Choice When Treatment Response Is Partially Identified

When Is Selection Effective?

Deleterious alleles can reach high frequency in small populations because of random fluctuations in allele frequency. This may lead, over time, to reduced average fitness. In this sense, selection is more "effective" in larger populations. Recent studies have considered whether the different demographic histories across human populations have resulted in differences in the number, distribution,...

When Is Hub Gene Selection Better than Standard Meta-Analysis?

Since hub nodes have been found to play important roles in many networks, highly connected hub genes are expected to play an important role in biology as well. However, the empirical evidence remains ambiguous. An open question is whether (or when) hub gene selection leads to more meaningful gene lists than a standard statistical analysis based on significance testing when analyzing genomic dat...

When every $P$-flat ideal is flat

In this paper‎, ‎we study the class of rings in which every $P$-flat‎ ‎ideal is flat and which will be called $PFF$-rings‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎Von Neumann regular rings‎, ‎hereditary rings‎, ‎semi-hereditary ring‎, ‎PID and arithmetical rings are examples of $PFF$-rings‎. ‎In the context domain‎, ‎this notion coincide with‎ ‎Pr"{u}fer domain‎. ‎We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for‎...

SOLVING FUZZY LINEAR SYSTEMS BY USING THE SCHUR COMPLEMENT WHEN COEFFICIENT MATRIX IS AN M-MATRIX

This paper analyzes a linear system of equations when the righthandside is a fuzzy vector and the coefficient matrix is a crisp M-matrix. Thefuzzy linear system (FLS) is converted to the equivalent crisp system withcoefficient matrix of dimension 2n × 2n. However, solving this crisp system isdifficult for large n because of dimensionality problems . It is shown that thisdifficulty may be avoide...
