Reversals of Fortune

چکیده
The objective function of the genome rearrangement problems allows the integration of other genome-level problems so that they may be solved simultaneously. Three examples, all of which are hard: 1) Orientation assignment for unsigned genomes. 2 ) Ortholog identification in the presence of multiple copies of genes. 3) Linearisation of partially ordered genomes. The comparison of traditional genetic maps by rearrangement algorithms poses all these problems. We combine heuristics for the first two problems with an exact algorithm for the third to solve a moderate-sized instance comparing maps of cereal genomes.

Posthumous events affect rated quality and happiness of lives
Diener and colleagues (2001) illustrated that individuals rely heavily on endings to evaluate the quality of a life. Two studies investigated the potential for posthumous events to affect rated life quality, calling into question the intuitive “ending” of a life at death. Undergraduates read a series of short life narratives to assess the consequences of posthumous reversals of fortune on judgm...
متن کاملReversals of national fortune, and social science methodologies.
Among non-European regions colonized by Europeans, regions that were relatively richer five centuries ago (like Mexico, Peru, and India) tend to be poorer today, while regions that originally were relatively poorer (like the United States, Chile, and Australia) tend now to be richer. Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson (abbreviated AJR) established the generality of this reversal of fortune. Chanda...
متن کاملEffects of 1-MCP and Ethylene on Antioxidant Enzymes Activity and Postharvest Physio-Biochemical Characteristics of Cut Carnation Flower cv. ‘Fortune’
Carnation (Dianthus caryophyllus L.) is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. Themajority of thecarnation cultivars are sensitive to ethylene which affected the physiological and biochemical postharvest characteristics of these flowers.Applying inhibitors of biosynthesis and action of ethylene is important factor to protect the display quality and extend postharvest life. In order...
متن کاملHow do Sudden Stops of Capital Flows Affect Currency Crises in Asia?
Sudden stops can be characterized by sharp reversals in capital inflows, large declines in output, and steep collapses in real asset prices (Mendoza and Smith, 2009). In almost all recent crises, capital account reversals amounting to more than 10% of an afflicted country’s GDP have occurred (Calvo and Reinhart, 1999 and Nabli, 1999). More specifically, reversals in capital flows to emergin...
متن کاملThe cunning plots of leadership.
You don't hear a lot of Henry Luce stories around here now. I heard my first one during a job interview 9 1/2 years ago. Dick Stolley, one of Time Inc.'s editorial viceroys, had suggested that FORTUNE might suit me; I'd offered as how I liked reading about business but didn't know a whole lot about it. No matter, said Stolley: “Luce used to say it's easier to teach a poet how to read a balance ...
