We have surveyed the tandemly repeated genes encoding U2 snRNA in a diverse panel of humans. We found only two polymorphisms within the U2 repeat unit: a SacI polymorphism (alleles SacI+ or SacI-) and a CT microsatellite polymorphism (alleles CT+ or CT-). Surprisingly, individual U2 tandem arrays are entirely SacI+ or SacI-, and entirely CT+ or CT-, although the SacI and CT alleles can occur in...

Classical results of Birkhoff and of Dilworth yield an extremely useful representation of a finite distributive lattice L as the downset lattice D(JL) of poset JL of join-irreducible elements of L. Through this they get a correspondence between the chain decompositions of JL and the tight embeddings of L into a product of chains. We use a simple but elegant result of Rival which characterizes s...

Jersey cattle are known for producing carcasses with a greater amount of marbling, but they require more days on feed to achieve acceptable market weights compared with other breeds. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary forage (12 vs. 24% sudangrass:alfalfa hay, DM basis) in steam-flaked, corn-based finishing diets on carcass characteristics, beef palatability, and ...

In the last lecture we discussed how distributional JL implies Gordon's theorem, and began our discussion of sparse JL. We wrote Πx 2 = σ T A T x A x σ and bounded the expression using Hanson-Wright in terms of the Frobenius norm. In this lecture we'll bound that Frobenius norm and then discuss applications to fast nearest neighbors. Note that we defined B x = A T x A x as the center of the pro...

An analytical model of the threshold voltage variance induced by random dopant fluctuations (RDF) in junctionless (JL) FETs is derived for both cylindrical nanowire (NW) and planar double-gate (DG) structures considering only the device electrostatics in subthreshold. The model results are shown to be in reasonable agreement with TCAD simulations for different gate lengths and device parameters...
