Breast cancer cell lines have been widely used for breast cancer modelling which encompasses a panel of diseases with distinct phenotypical associations. Though cell lines provide unlimited homogenous materials for tumor studies and are relatively easy to culture, they are known to accumulate mutations duringthe initial establishment and subsequent series of cultivations. Thus, whether breast c...

Over the past ten years the analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has become widespread when dealing with very low quantities of and/or highly degraded DNA. The advantages of mtDNA for this type of analysis have been well documented including its high copy number, which improves the chance of retrieving DNA, and its highly polymorphic, and therefore informative nature. In addition to forensic s...

BACKGROUND India has the world's highest total number of under-five deaths of any nation. While progress towards Millennium Development Goal 4 has been documented at the state level, little information is available for greater disaggregation of child health markers within states. In 2000, new states were created within the country as a partial response to political pressures. State-level inform...

in this study, isolate sr99-ua (race 70e 128) of wheat stripe rust (puccinia striiformis west. f. sp. tritici eriks) was used to infect susceptible spring wheat (cultivar thatcher) and its near isogenic line possessing yr-18 adult-plant resistance gene. samples were taken at the flag leaf stage and observed using light, transmission and scanning electron micro-scopes. no major differences in th...

Matrix completion is a fundamental problem that comes up in a variety of applications like the Netflix problem, collaborative filtering, computer vision, and crowdsourcing. The goal of the problem is to recover a k-by-n unknown matrix from a subset of its noiseless (or noisy) entries. We define an informationtheoretic notion of completion capacity C that quantifies the maximum number of entries...

We present a novel multidimensional seismic trace interpolator that works on constant-frequency slices. It performs completion on Hankel tensors whose order is twice the number of spatial dimensions. Completion is done by fitting a PARAFAC model using an Alternating Least Squares algorithm. The new interpolator runs quickly and can better handle large gaps and high sparsity than existing comple...

This paper presents an algorithm for efficient distribution of completion detection blocks in a dualrail self-timed circuit to ensure correct computation of the completion signal. Layer-wise optimisation technique is used with the width of layers selected so as to satisfy timing constrains and use the least possible number of completion detection blocks.
