Natural Selection: Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign
نویسنده
چکیده
Natural selection is an important factor influencing variation in the human genome, but most genetic studies of natural selection have focused on variants with unknown phenotypic associations. This trend is changing. New studies are rapidly revealing the effects of natural selection on genetic variants of known or likely functional importance.

The Eye of the Beholder Automatic recognition of Dutch sign language
Preface For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in languages. Sign languages especially fascinate me, because they are natural languages using a different modality: sign languages use images as the vehicle for information. This has strange implications: in sign language, it is easy to have a conversation with someone at the other side of a crowded room. On the other hand, it is im...
متن کاملInfinitely many solutions for a bi-nonlocal equation with sign-changing weight functions
In this paper, we investigate the existence of infinitely many solutions for a bi-nonlocal equation with sign-changing weight functions. We use some natural constraints and the Ljusternik-Schnirelman critical point theory on C1-manifolds, to prove our main results.
متن کاملThe rank ordering of genotypic fitness values predicts genetic constraint on natural selection on landscapes lacking sign epistasis.
Sewall Wright's genotypic fitness landscape makes explicit one mechanism by which epistasis for fitness can constrain evolution by natural selection. Wright distinguished between landscapes possessing multiple fitness peaks and those with only a single peak and emphasized that the former class imposes substantially greater constraint on natural selection. Here I present novel formalism that mor...
متن کاملAN OPTIMAL FUZZY SLIDING MODE CONTROLLER DESIGN BASED ON PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION AND USING SCALAR SIGN FUNCTION
This paper addresses the problems caused by an inappropriate selection of sliding surface parameters in fuzzy sliding mode controllers via an optimization approach. In particular, the proposed method employs the parallel distributed compensator scheme to design the state feedback based control law. The controller gains are determined in offline mode via a linear quadratic regular. The particle ...

Otosclerosis is an otic capsule disorder that leads to progressive conductive and/or sensorineural hearing loss due to stapes footplate fixation and cochlear bone involvement. The disorder is bilateral in 70% of patients and it usually starts between the third and fifth decade. One of its characteristic clinical findings is Schwartze sign which refers to a reddish discoloration over the promont...
