This unit describes how to use the genome annotation and curation tools MAKER and MAKER-P to annotate protein-coding and noncoding RNA genes in newly assembled genomes, update/combine legacy annotations in light of new evidence, add quality metrics to annotations from other pipelines, and map existing annotations to a new assembly. MAKER and MAKER-P can rapidly annotate genomes of any size, and...

In a polyomino set (1,2)-achievement game the maker and the breaker alternately mark one and two previously unmarked cells respectively. The maker's goal is to mark a set of cells congruent to one of a given set of polyominoes. The breaker tries to prevent the maker from achieving his goal. The teams of polyominoes for which the maker has a winning strategy is determined up to size 4. In set ac...

We study the relative performance of disclosure and auditing in decentralized institutions. We consider the information transmission problem between two decision makers who take actions in sequence at two decision dates. The first decision maker has private information about a state of nature that is relevant for both decisions, and sends a message to the second. The second decision maker can c...

The World Wide Web (WWW) can be viewed as the largest multime-dia database that has ever existed. However, its support for query answering and automated inference is very limited. Metadata and domain speciic ontologies were proposed by several authors to solve this problem. We developed Ontobroker which uses formal ontologies to extract, reason, and generate metadata in the WWW. The paper descr...

1 Who knoWs a utility representation Repeatedly it is alleged that this or that theory concerns a decision maker maximizing some utility function. But, as I have been at pains to discuss, the representation is not a creature of the decision maker but of the scientist studying the decision maker’s behavior “The representation theorems go in only one direction: from behavioral and structural prop...

The Maker Movement, while heralded for popularizing DIY culture, has recently drawn some critiques for the ways in which the mass-marketing of maker culture partially obscures the social, cultural, and political implications of making. A number of educators, designers, and researchers are actively studying alternative approaches to maker culture, and specifically developing ways to broaden part...

We study Maker/Breaker games on the edges of the complete graph, as introduced by Chvátal and Erdős. We show that in the (m : b) game played on KN , the complete graph on N vertices, Maker can achieve a Kq for q = ( m log 2 (b+1) − o(1) ) · log2 N , which partially solves an open problem by Beck. Moreover, we show that in the (1 : 1) game played on KN for a sufficiently large N , Maker can achi...

Voting method requires to determine group decision of decision by each decision maker in group. Determination of decisions by group of decision maker requires voting methods. Copeland score is one of voting method that has been developed by previous researchers. This method does not accommodate the weight of the expertise and interests of each decision maker. This paper proposed the voting meth...
