Population genetics is a powerful tool for measuring important larval connections between marine populations [1-4]. Similarly, oceanographic models based on environmental data can simulate particle movements in ocean currents and make quantitative estimates of larval connections between populations possible [5-9]. However, these two powerful approaches have remained disconnected because no gene...

BANANA provides a graphical connection of these 12 factors with 26 arcs, showing that: a) Defense ability (DA) is the major factor in survival (with 8 arcs constraints); b) Energy lost in fighting (LA) is the second important factor (with seven arcs constraints); c) The relationships and dependencies also indicate that speedy attack ability (SA), and the energy cost of survival (EF) (with six a...

Structural information theory (SIT) deals with the perceptual organization, often called the ‘gestalt’ structure, of visual patterns. Based on a set of empirically validated struc­ tural regularities, the perceived organization of a visual pattern is claimed to be the most regular (simplest) structure of the pattern. The problem of finding the perceptual orga­ nization of visual patterns has re...

This paper describes the use of genetic algorithms (GAs) for the optimal design of phononic bandgaps in periodic elastic two-phase media. In particular, we link a GA with a computational finite element method for solving the acoustic wave equation, and find optimal designs for both metal–matrix composite systems consisting of Ti/SiC, and H2O-filled porous ceramic media, by maximizing the relati...

quantitative relationships between structures of twenty six of 2-mercaptoimidazoles as c-c chemokine receptor type 2 (ccr2) inhibitors were assessed. modeling of the biological activities of compounds of interest as a function of molecular structures was established by means of genetic algorithm multivariate linear regression (ga-mlr) and genetic algorithm (ga-ann). the results showed that, the...

Structural information theory (SIT) deals with the perceptual organization, often called the `gestalt' structure, of visual patterns. Based on a set of empirically validated structural regularities, the perceived organization of a visual pattern is claimed to be the most regular (simplest) structure of the pattern. The problem of nding the perceptual organization of visual patterns has relevant...

A survey of allozyme variation at 12 enzyme loci in 1,705 clones of the genetic species Escherichia coli (including four species of Shigella) from natural populations revealed 302 unique allele combinations (electrophoretic types). Single-locus diversity estimates fall within the range predicted by the neutral allele theory of molecular evolution, but the combination of alleles in electrophoret...

DNA is a living molecule, writhing, twisting and bending in response to the physical forces applied to it by genetic processes. Twisting and untwisting of the double helix by powerful molecular motors generates, at least transiently, high levels of torques. Although under relaxed conditions the double helical B-form is the predominant conformation of DNA, in response to physical stress, B-DNA s...
