X inactivation studies have been carried out on 22 pairs of female monozygotic twins, one set of female monozygotic triplets, and their mothers and singleton sisters, using the probe M27 beta. Forty-eight per cent of the twins, 55% of their mothers, and 42% of their singleton sisters showed skewed X inactivation. Two of the triplets and their mother had random X inactivation, while the third tr...

Finding a tube of small width that covers a certain percentage of the training data samples is a robustway to estimate a location: the values of the data samples falling outside the tube have no direct influence on the estimate. The well-known ν-tube Support Vector Regression (ν-SVR) is an effective method for implementing this idea in the context of covariates. However, the ν-SVR considers onl...

We study the non-forward matrix elements of twist–2 QCD light–ray operators and their representations in terms of skewed and double distributions, considering the pion as well as the nucleon. We point out the importance of explicitly including all twist–2 structures in the double distribution representation, which naturally leads to a " two–component " structure of the skewed distribution, with...

Skewness plays a very important role in task scheduling. It measures the degree of asymmetry in a data set. Moreover, the data set may be positively skewed or negatively skewed. The quartile coefficient of skewness lies in between -1 to 1. If the quartile coefficient is in between -1 to 0, then the data set is negatively skewed. Otherwise, it is positively skewed. Min-Min and Max-Min heuristic ...
