چکیده

We analyze a model of the distribution of linkage disruption points (breakpoints) along the chromosome. We calculate the variance of an estimator of the number of breakpoints and use this to assess whether or not Nadeau and Taylor were simply beneficiaries of the “luck of the draw”. In addition, we analyze a possible source of error due to the availability of chromosomal assignment only rather than mapping data on humans. Finally, given evidence of frequent local rearrangements (e.g. inversions) of chromosomal segments, we suggest a method for evaluating the pertinence of comparative maps for the interchromosomal (translocational) history of a genome.

Estimation of PC-MRI Pressure Map Using Integral Form of Governing Equations and Spline Segments

In this paper, the boundary-based estimation of pressure distribution in the cardiovascular system is investigated using two dimensional flow images. The conventional methods of non-invasive estimation of pressure distribution in the cardiovascular flow domain use the differential form of governing equations. This study evaluates the advantages of using the integral form of the equations in the...

Estimating IDF based on daily precipitation using temporal scale model

The intensity –duration –frequency (IDF) curves play most important role in watershed management, flood control and hydraulic design of structures. Conventional method for calculating the IDF curves needs hourly rainfall data in different durations which is not extensively available in many regions. Instead 24-hour precipitation statistics were measured in most rain-gauge stations. In this stud...

Investigation of the Relationship between Ultrasonographic Findings and Analyses of Bladder Contents in Cats

Background: Echoes are frequently observed in cat bladder contents through ultrasonography and often mentioned as incidental findings. No comprehensive study has been conducted so far on the precise echoes nature in the bladder contents ultrasonography in cats. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to provide an accurate description of the cat bladder contents echoes and to specify the relat...

SFLA Based Gene Selection Approach for Improving Cancer Classification Accuracy

 In this paper, we propose a new gene selection algorithm based on Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm that is called SFLA-FS. The proposed algorithm is used for improving cancer classification accuracy. Most of the biological datasets such as cancer datasets have a large number of genes and few samples. However, most of these genes are not usable in some tasks for example in cancer classification....
