Complete genomes of hybridizing bird species demonstrate the importance of the sex chromosomes, telomeres and centromeres to the initial stages of speciation.

We describe two nonconventional algorithms for linear regression, called GAME and CLASH. The salient characteristics of these approaches is that they exploit the convex `1-ball and non-convex `0-sparsity constraints jointly in sparse recovery. To establish the theoretical approximation guarantees of GAME and CLASH, we cover an interesting range of topics from game theory, convex and combinatori...

Nicosia Walled City, on the northern side of Cyprus, encapsulates historical imprints from various cultures and civilizations within its layered structure, despite being a divided city since 1974. Based this beautiful Medieval sequence, study investigates implications architectural design approaches aimed at incorporating contemporary architecture into heterogeneous historic to conserve identit...

The notion of agency is central to the study of software process. Software development processes are enacted by agents, represent agents, and ultimately, must be capable of guiding human agents. This paper explores the use of the term “agent” in software engineering, and advocates a systematic study of this notion in the context of software process technology. In particular, the paper proposes ...

Using the CLASH-VLT survey, we assembled an unprecedented sample of 1234 spectroscopically confirmed members in Abell~S1063, finding a dynamically complex structure at z_cl=0.3457 with velocity dispersion \sigma_v=1380 -32 +26 km s^-1. We investigate cluster environmental and dynamical effects by analysing projected phase-space diagram orbits as function galaxy spectral properties. classify gal...

Building Information Modeling (BIM) has recently attained widespread attention in the AEC/FM (Architectural, Engineering and Construction/ Facilities Management) industry. However, the adoption of BIM is under expectation. Clash detection is critical for adopting BIM, because it is the main part to use for calculating for ROI (return of investment). At the same time, efficiency problem arises i...
