Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping using deep DNA sequencing data is a challenging task. In this study we performed region-based and pathway-based QTL mappings using a p-value combination method to analyze the simulated quantitative traits Q1 and Q4 and the exome sequencing data. The aims were to evaluate the performance of the QTL mapping approaches that were used and to suggest plausible ...

BACKGROUND The goal of ontology matching is to identify correspondences between entities from different yet overlapping ontologies so as to facilitate semantic integration, reuse and interoperability. As a well developed mathematical model for analyzing individuals and structuring concepts, Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) has been applied to ontology matching (OM) tasks since the beginning of OM ...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we study the convex combinations of harmonic mappings obtained by shearing a class of slit conformal mappings‎. ‎Sufficient conditions for the convex combinations of harmonic mappings of this family to be univalent and convex in the horizontal direction are derived‎. ‎Several examples of univalent harmonic mappings constructed by using these methods are presented to illustrate...

We present an automatic method for mapping language-specific part-of-speech tags to a set of universal tags. This unified representation plays a crucial role in cross-lingual syntactic transfer of multilingual dependency parsers. Until now, however, such conversion schemes have been created manually. Our central hypothesis is that a valid mapping yields POS annotations with coherent linguistic ...

In this work we describe our approach directed to the integration of information from different ontologies. We propose a method to extract and integrate modules from ontologies. These modules are generated as subgraphs from original ontologies on the basis of a term defined by the user. The module extraction is related to the view traversal method [1]. The difference is that we not only extract...

A novel method for generic visible watermarking with a capability of lossless image recovery is proposed. The method is based on the use of deterministic one-to-one compound mappings of image pixel values for overlaying a variety of visible watermarks of arbitrary sizes on cover images. The compound mappings are proved to be reversible, which allows for lossless recovery of original images from...

1 preprint numerics no. 1/2012 norwegian university of science and technology trondheim, norway This paper discusses numerical solution of boundary value problems using spectral methods combined with nonlinear and adaptive mappings between the reference domain and the physical domain. A brief review of existing methods for adaptive mesh generation is given, and a method for finding close to opt...

Ontology mapping is one of the most important tasks for ontology interoperability and its main aim is to find semantic relationships between entities (i.e. concept, attribute, and relation) of two ontologies. However, most of the current methods only consider one to one (1:1) mappings. In this paper we propose a new approach (CHM: Concept Hierarchy based Mapping approach) which can find simple ...

One aspect of the vision of dataspaces has been articulated as providing various benefits of classical data integration with reduced up-front costs. In this paper, we present techniques that aim to support schema mapping specification through interaction with end users in a pay-as-you-go fashion. In particular, we show how schema mappings, that are obtained automatically using existing matching...

In a distributed environment like Semantic Web, complex applications often need to handle multiple ontologies, where the heterogeneity of multiple ontologies arises. In order to reconcile these ontologies, ontology mappings are proposed to provide the interoperating rules between multiple ontologies. However, introducing mappings may cause inconsistencies and redundancies, which will break the ...
