Selection rarely (if ever!) simply acts on a single trait. In reality, selection occurs simultaneously on an entire suite of characters. These next two lectures deal with the theory of selection response and the measurement of selection (13 and 14, respectively) on multiple traits. The key concerns required for this theory are the phenotype and genetic (breeding values) correlations/covariances...

With recent advances in Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal processing and biomedical instrumentation, brain machine interfaces are used for rehabilitation of people suffering from neuromuscular disorders. This paper presents a novel method employing Hierarchical classifier using optimised Neural Networks to classify left-hand movement, right-hand movement and word generation using EEG signals. O...

In spite of penetrating stains and brightfield optics of considerable resolution, definite limits of observation inevitably were reached in traditional cytology. Although the light microscope revealed basal bodies in the spores of watermolds, how did they anchor successfully against the forceful beating of flagella? While the best of optical glass could reveal bivalent rings in presumed meiotic...

WSNs have limited computational power, limited memory and battery power this increases the complexity and leads to need for data aggregation method. The main goal of data aggregation algorithms is to gather and aggregate data in an energy efficient manner, so that lifetime of network is increased. When WSN sensing an event the redundant data will be detected and collected this need to increase ...

We discuss two ways to determine, given I ⊂ S, whether I ∈ I. The first method is based on the previous lecture, where we considered the set Ŝ = ∪̇Ŝi, a union of disjoint copies of the Si. Formally, we write Ŝ = {(e, i) : e ∈ Si}. There is a natural mapping f : Ŝ → ∪Si which maps (e, i) to e. We can now define a partition matroid Mp over the ground set Ŝ, where I(Mp) = { I ⊆ Ŝ s.t. ∀e ∈ S : |I ∩...
