BACKGROUND Explicit comparisons based on the semantic similarity of Gene Ontology terms provide a quantitative way to measure the functional similarity between gene products and are widely applied in large-scale genomic research via integration with other models. Previously, we presented an edge-based method, Relative Specificity Similarity (RSS), which takes the global position of relevant ter...

We compute the arithmetic L-invariants (of Greenberg–Benois) of twists of symmetric powers of p-adic Galois representations attached to Iwahori level Hilbert modular forms (under some technical conditions). Our method uses the automorphy of symmetric powers and the study of analytic Galois representations on p-adic families of automorphic forms over symplectic and unitary groups. Combining thes...

The RECOMBFLOW scientific workflow system was used to test a previously suggested hypothesis that pathogenic Escherichia coli have more Intragenomic Gene Conversions (IGC) than non-pathogenic strains. Although some pathogens (O157:H7 and some Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) strains) had high IGC, two UTI strains and six Shigella (pathogens in the E. coli clade) were near non-pathogenic E. coli le...

The leucocytozoids of ten families of Passeriformes--Estrildidae, Fringillidae, Laniidae, Nectariniidae, Passeridae, Ploceidae, Promeropidae, Pycnonotidae, Sturnidae and Zosteropidae--are reviewed. Leucocytozoon roubaudi from the Estrildidae, L. fringillinarum from the Fringillidae, L. balmorali from the Laniidae, L. gentili from the Passeridae, L. bouffardi from the Ploceidae, L. brimonti from...

Recently, the author, together with L. Leustean and A. Nicolae, introduced notion of jointly firmly nonexpansive families mappings in order to investigate an abstract manner convergen...

s of papers 63 possible interaction between systems. A limited number of recent withinfamily comparisons have disclosed immunological effects of genotypes for the C, D, I, L and P systems. The data comparing genotypes within families stems primarily from comparisons utilizing progeny produced by crossing NIU line 4 males with NIU line 1 females. Each line possesses two or more alleles for each ...

This paper is a continuation of [2]. We construct unconditionally several families of number fields with large class numbers. They are number fields whose Galois closures have as the Galois groups, dihedral groups Dn, n = 3, 4, 5, and cyclic groups Cn, n = 4, 5, 6. We first construct families of number fields with small regulators, and by using the strong Artin conjecture and applying some modi...

The number of penises vary in the insect suborder Forficulina (order Dermaptera; earwigs). Males of the families Diplatyidae, Pigidicranidae, Anisolabididae, Apachyidae, and Labiduridae have two penises (right and left), while those of the Spongipohridae, Chelisochidae, and Forficulidae have a single penis. The proposed phylogenetic relationships among these families suggest that the single-pen...

Corn (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important carbohydrate-producing food crops in world. One problems corn production a decrease quantity and quality due to presence weeds that grow around fields. This study aims determine structure composition fields Belayu Village, Marga District, Tabanan Regency, Bali Province. The method used this permanent quadrat with plot size 1x1 m. Data were analyze...

This paper studies four families of polyhedral norms parametrized by a single parameter. The first two families consist of the CVaR norm (which is equivalent to the D-norm, or the largest-k norm) and its dual norm, while the second two families consist of the convex combination of the l1and l∞-norms, referred to as the deltoidal norm, and its dual norm. These families contain the l1and l∞-norms...
