Genome-Wide Association Studies shed light on the identification of genes underlying human diseases and agriculturally important traits. This potential has been shadowed by false positive findings. The Mixed Linear Model (MLM) method is flexible enough to simultaneously incorporate population structure and cryptic relationships to reduce false positives. However, its intensive computational bur...

We present a multi-layer group sparse coding framework for concurrent image classification and annotation. By leveraging the dependency between image class label and tags, we introduce a multi-layer group sparse structure of the reconstruction coefficients. Such structure fully encodes the mutual dependency between the class label, which describes the image content as a whole, and tags, which d...

We present a practical and inexpensive method for creating physical objects that cast different color shadow images when illuminated by prescribed lighting configurations. The input to our system is a number of lighting configurations and corresponding desired shadow images. Our approach computes attenuation masks, which are then printed on transparent materials and stacked to form a single mul...

A semi-analytical model of hydroelastic slamming for two-dimensional symmetric flexible bodies is presented in this paper. The hydrodynamic loads are computed using the analytical Modified Logvinovich Model (MLM) with account elastic deflections body surface. described by modal approach. rigid and motions at same time together wetted part coupled problem impact reduced to a system nonlinear ord...

This paper presents the implementation of Bayesian inversion method for characterization and estimation different dielectric material properties. The scattering parameters single multi-layer materials are measured using a free-space experimental setup standard gain horn antenna Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) at Ka-band (26–40 GHz). relative permittivity, thickness, positioning error defined as m...

Fermented mixtures containing fish-offal meal (FOM) and mulberry leaf meal (MLM) were used as protein supplement to partially replace fish meal (FM) in the formulation of diets for the Indian minor carp Labeo bata. The diets included a reference diet (20 % FM), three diets of fermented mixture of FOM and MLM (T2–T4) replacing 50 to 75 % of FM. Formulation of diet with 30 % FOM, 24 % MLM and 5 ...
