We start by considering crosses between inbred lines. The analysis of such crosses illustrates many of the fundamental features of QTL mapping without the additional complications that arise with outbred populations. Although inbred line crosses are uncommon in animal breeding (outside of rats and mice), crosses between widely-differing lines are often treated as an inbred line cross, as we ass...

This paper describes LIMSI’s submissions to the news shared task at WMT’17 for English into Czech and Latvian, as well as related experiments. This year’s novelties consist in the use of a neural machine translation system with a factored output predicting simultaneously a lemma decorated with morphological information and a fine-grained part-of-speech. Such a type of system drew our attention ...

MYOPATHIES Clinical Features Myopathies are diseases that primarily affect the muscles and are usually characterized clinically by weakness, fatigue, or stiffness (myotonia). They are usually characterized by symmetrical proximal muscle weakness and wasting, normal sensation, and normal stretch reflexes. More than one-half of muscle bulk must be lost before functional weakness can be demonstrat...

Starting in the early 1940’s, the experimental study of electrons in metals and their interaction with the atoms of the crystal lattice played a major role in physics research. The goal was to measure the mechanical, thermal, optical, and electrical properties of metals, insulators, and other forms of condensed matter. These measurements would then lead to the development of theoretical models ...

When states or armed rebels indiscriminately attack civilians, they generally attack civilians who support and/or have a substantial capacity to influence opposing states or rebel movements. Overthrowing, defeating or strongly pressuring such states or movements is the primary goal of terrorism, which is thus a kind of indirect warfare. ‘Categorical’ terrorism – violence against a whole categor...
