For any pair of QTL, they can be located in neighboring or non-neighboring marker intervals. For neighboring case, distribution of three anking marker loci is needed to obtain the correlation between the two QTL. For non-neighboring case, distributions of four markers is required to obtain the correlation. In general, there are 2 m diierent gametic genotypes and 2 2m;1 + 2 m =2 zygotic genotype...

This paper presents a gradient based motion estimation algorithm based on shape-motion prediction, which takes advantage of the correlation between neighboring Binary Alpha Blocks (BABs), to match with the Mpeg-4 shape coding case and speed up the estimation process. The PSNR and computation time achieved by the proposed algorithm seem to be better than those obtained by most popular motion est...

The anisotropic correlation between buckled dimers on Si(100) was investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. A bidentate ligand molecule was used to pin two neighboring dimers at 300 K. The chemically pinned dimer induces antiferromagnetic interaction along the dimer rows. Observed results agree well with Monte-Carlo simulations semi-quantitatively.

The influence of the inductive effect of modifications in the disulfide bridge in oxytocin analogs on the cleavage of the neighboring peptidic bond was studied. A correlation between the inductive constant of the group in the disulfide bridge and the particular fragment ion abundance was observed.

This paper considers the problem of prediction in a panel data regression model with spatial autocorrelation. In particular, we consider a simple demand equation for cigarettes based on a panel of 46 states over the period 1963-1992. The spatial autocorrelation due to neighboring states and the individual heterogeneity across states is taken explicitly into account. We derive the best linear un...

Network operators control the flow of traffic in today’s IP networks by manipulating the configuration of the routing protocols running on their routers. Although intradomain traffic engineering is largely isolated to individual Autonomous Systems (ASes), changes to interdomain routing policies affect the traffic load in other domains. In this paper, we argue that neighboring ASes should cooper...
