Sequence data are expected to increase the reliability of genomic prediction by containing causative mutations directly, especially in cases where low linkage disequilibrium between markers and causative mutations limits prediction reliability, such as across-breed prediction in dairy cattle. In practice, the causative mutations are unknown, and prediction with only variants in perfect linkage ...

We propose a method for identifying diathesis alternations where a particular argument type is seen in slots which have different grammatical roles in the alternating forms. The method uses selectional preferences acquired as probability distributions over WordNet. Preferences for the target slots are compared using a measure of distributional similarity. The method is evaluated on the causativ...

Developing technologies that support collaboration requires understanding how knowledge and expertise are shared and distributed among community members. We explore two forms of knowledge distribution structures, coordination and cooperation, that are central to successful collaboration. We propose a novel method for detecting the coordination of strategic communication among members of politic...

This paper generalizes a method of generating shift sequences in the interleaved construction proposed by Gong. With the new shift sequences, some new families of p-ary sequences with desired properties can be obtained. A lower bound on the number of new families of binary sequences is also established.

A counterexample is given to the uniqueness result given in the paper by J.Cox and K.Thompson, Note on the uniqueness of the solution of an equation of interest in inverse scattering problem,

DNA is a promising construction material for the supramolecular 'bottom-up' engineering of artificial nanostructured devices. The use of DNA for the selective positioning of macromolecular components, the fabrication of nanostructured DNA scaffolds, as well as the DNA-templated synthesis of nanometer-sized and mesoscopic complexes, consisting of inorganic and bioorganic compounds, are exciting ...

RÉSUMÉ. Cet article présente une description des constructions antithétiques, que l’on a intégrée à une grammaire formelle du français spontané dont l’objectif est d’être finalement utilisée pour le TAL. Ces constructions ont pour caractéristique d’être soumises à des contraintes provenant simultanément de domaines divers (lexique, syntaxe, sémantique et pragmatique). Nous présentons ici une de...
