Flexible-resource theories characterize working memory as a flexible resource that can store either a large number of low-quality representations or a small number of high-quality representations. In contrast, limited-item theories propose that the number of items that can be stored in working memory is strictly limited and cannot be increased by decreasing the quality of the representations. W...

A number of copy number variation (CNV) calling algorithms exist; however, comprehensive software tools for CNV association studies are lacking. We describe ParseCNV, unique software that takes CNV calls and creates probe-based statistics for CNV occurrence in both case-control design and in family based studies addressing both de novo and inheritance events, which are then summarized based on ...

The assessment of RNA integrity is a critical first step in obtaining meaningful gene expression data. Using intact RNA is a key element for successful microarray or RT-PCR analyses. The Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer and RNA LabChip kits play an important role in assisting researchers in the determination of RNA quality. Profiles generated on the Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer yield information on concent...

Text Clustering is a text mining technique which divides the given set of text documents into significant clusters. It is used for organizing a huge number of text documents into a well-organized form. In the majority of the clustering algorithms, the number of clusters must be specified apriori, which is a drawback of these algorithms. The aim of this paper is to show experimentally how to det...

Background: Gonadptropins are main regulator of women menstrual cycles during which ovulation occur. infertile women with high level of FSH are poor responder to ovulation during ART cycles and do not take good result. this Study is done to evaluate the effects of day three FSH and LH level on number and quality of fertilized oocytes in infertile women candidate for ART cycle. Based on this stu...

Ensuring that pseudorandom number generators have good randomness properties is more complicated in a multiprocessor implementationthan in the uniprocessor case. We discuss simple extensions of uniprocessor testing for SIMD parallel streams, and develop in detail a repeatability test for the SPMD paradigm. Examples of the application of these tests to an additive lagged-Fibonacci generator are ...

Rye (Secale cereale L.) is one of the most important bread grains in colder parts of Europe and its importance has been rising recently. The chemical composition of rye grain promises health benefits and it contributes to higher intake of dietary fibre. Conversely, rye baking performance is not as good as required. The baking quality is mainly affected by the activity of amylases measured as Ha...

In this paper a new sequential sampling plan is introduced in which the acceptable quality level (AQL) and the lot tolerance percent defective (LTPD) are a fuzzy number. This plan is well defined, since, if the parameters are crisp, it changes to a classical plan. For such a plan, a particular table of rejection and acceptance is calculated and compared with the classical one. Keywords : St...

The software industry is successful, if it can draw the complete attention of the customers towards it. This is achievable if the organization can produce a high quality product. To identify a product to be of high quality, it should be free of defects, should be capable of producing expected results. It should be delivered in an estimated cost, time and be maintainable with minimum effort. Def...
