HE basic approach used in studying the mechanism of crossing over has been Tto alter crossover frequencies by manipulating extrinsic or intrinsic factors in an attempt to correlate the primary effect of the manipulation with the observed genetic results. These experiments have provided much data on the phenomenon of crossing over but little information on its basic mechanism. This is because ve...

The paper presents a software architecture aiming to improve accessibility to information in specialized texts, with focus on medical texts. This software also addresses other problems related to text accessibility such as vision problems and language problems. It allows text input in any media format (text, image, sound) and outputs the text as digital text or sound, permitting the user to sca...

Most previous studies in computerized deception detection have relied only on shallow lexico-syntactic patterns. This paper investigates syntactic stylometry for deception detection, adding a somewhat unconventional angle to prior literature. Over four different datasets spanning from the product review to the essay domain, we demonstrate that features driven from Context Free Grammar (CFG) par...

Various subsets of the tracial state space of a unital C∗-algebra are studied. The largest of these subsets has a natural interpretation as the space of invariant means. II1-factor representations of a class of C∗-algebras considered by Sorin Popa are also studied. These algebras are shown to have an unexpected variety of II1-factor representations. In addition to developing some general theory...

The synaptinemal complex provides a structural basis for four-strand crossing over: prior to chromosome pairing, both sister chromatids of each homologous chromosome participate in the genesis of one lateral component. During precise pairing, the two lateral components are combined into one synaptinemal complex per bivalent.

The Euclidean division of two formal series in one variable produces a sequence of series that we obtain explicitly, remarking that the case where one of the two initial series is 1 is sufficiently generic. As an application, we define a Wronskian of symmetric functions. The Euclidean division of two polynomials P (z), Q(z), in one variable z, of consecutive degrees, produces a sequence of line...

We present an SOR-type algorithm and a Jacobi-type algorithm that can effectively be applied to the `1-`2 problem by exploiting its special structure. The algorithms are globally convergent and can be implemented in a particularly simple manner. Relations with coordinate minimization methods are discussed.

Phase 3 of the study is currently under way. One hundred and twenty students from the University of Sydney are being tested at six different times across their final medical school year (Year 4) and the internship year. The core measurement tools have again been administered and, in addition, the General Health Questionnaire,4 the International Personality Disorder Examination (IPDE, ICD-10 mod...

We present experimental results on the critical exponent QE&E describing the divergence of the Kerr constant of binary liquid mixtures near the critical consolute point. We show that the measured value of its„E agrees with the theoretical prediction only if the measurement is performed with a mixture of two liquids presenting a small mismatch in the dielectric constant, and that the measured Ps...

In this paper, we present the Deployment Support Network (DSN), a new methodology for developing and testing wireless sensor networks (WSN) in a realistic environment. With an additional wireless backbone network a deployed WSN can be observed, controlled, and reprogrammed completely over the air. The DSN provides visibility and control in a similar way as existing emulation testbeds, but overc...
