Site-Specific Evolutionary Rate Inference: Taking Phylogenetic Uncertainty into Account

On the correlation between composition and site-specific evolutionary rate: implications for phylogenetic inference.

Model-based phylogenetic reconstruction methods traditionally assume homogeneity of nucleotide frequencies among sequence sites and lineages. Yet, heterogeneity in base composition is a characteristic shared by most biological sequences. Compositional variation in time, reflected in the compositional biases among contemporary sequences, has already been extensively studied, and its detrimental ...

Taking into account phylogenetic and divergence-time uncertainty in a parametric biogeographical analysis of the Northern Hemisphere plant clade Caprifolieae

Aim To examine the biogeographical history of the angiosperm clade Caprifolieae (Caprifoliaceae) using parametric biogeographical reconstruction methods. The existing parametric method was extended to evaluate biogeographical reconstructions over the distribution of dated phylogenies. This method provides a framework for reconstructing large-scale biogeography with parametric methods, while acc...

An Analytical Model for Cdma Downlink Rate Optimization Taking into Account Uplink Coverage Restriction an Analytical Model for Cdma Downlink Rate Optimization Taking into Account Uplink Coverage Restriction

This paper models and analyzes downlink and uplink power assignment in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile networks. By discretizing the area into small segments, the power requirements are characterized via a matrix representation that separates user and system characteristics. We obtain a closed-form analytical expression of the so-called Perron-Frobenius eigenvalue of that matrix, wh...

Taking Handicap into Account: Systemic Features

Because of many features of handicap, such as the number of actors and interactions, the complexity of the field, handicap must be considered from a system point of view, and dealt with as any system. That makes it possible to build a comprehensive response to the question of the inclusion and full citizenship of people with disabilities, better than some fragmentary solutions often proposed. T...
