The technologies monitoring the transcriptome are under a continuous status of development and implementation, producing high amounts of expression data which require reliable and well structured databases. This chapter provides a general overview and a reliable guide of these technologies, as developed from the early ‘90s until today, and of the most important available expression databases. T...

The data presented in this article are related to the research article entitled 'Economic Growth, Fossil Fuel and Non-Fossil Consumption: A Pooled Mean Group Analysis using Proxies for Capital' (J. Asafu-Adjaye, D. Byrne, M. Alvarez, 2016) [1]. This article describes data modified from three publicly available data sources: the World Bank׳s World Development Indicators (http://databank.worldban...

Botanist, Pacific Southwest Forest and Range Experiment Station, Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Riverside, Calif. This session on the potential of Mediterraneantype ecosystems to supply biomass as a supplemental source of energy is a natural result of the present worldwide shortage of low-cost fuel. Some of these ecosystems are highly productive, partly because the summer droug...

density-functional-based and ab initio calculations were implemented at different computational levels to estimate the binding energy of zn2+ ion adsorbed on the available sites of a silicate mel-type adsorbent. b3lyp and mp2 were used in combination with the 6-31g*, 6-31+g*, lanl2dz, 6-311+g*, and def2-tzvp basis sets. the zinc cation was found to preferentially occupy the 6mr sites followed b...

an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different inclusion rates and degree of saturation of fat sources on true metabolizable energy corrected to zero nitrogen retention ( tmen) values in broiler chickens at 42 days of age. animal fat and cotton seed oil were blended in the proportions of: 0.25:0.75 , 0.50:0.50 , 0.75:0.25. the three blends together with the animal fat and cott...

In order to obtain more accurate predicted dynamic steady-state performance with shorter computation time, an available mathematical model is modified and presented. Using this modified model, performance of a typical switched reluctance motor (SRM) under a wide range of variations of operating conditions is obtained and discussed. These include variations of speed, voltage, load and switching ...

In this paper a novel approach is presented for generating RDF graphs of arbitrary complexity from various spreadsheet layouts. Currently, none of the available spreadsheet-to-RDF wrappers supports cross tables and tables where data is not aligned in rows. Similar to RDF123, XLWrap is based on template graphs where fragments of triples can be mapped to specific cells of a spreadsheet. Additiona...

Guaranteed Annuity Options (GAOs) are options available to holders of certain pension policies. Under these contracts, policyholders contribute premiums into a fund managed by the insurer. At retirement, the policyholders buy life annuities at a guaranteed rate provided by the original insurer, or annuitize with another insurer. If the guaranteed annuity rates are better than the prevailing rat...
