A model of the evolution of a transposable element family in a Mendelian host population is proposed that incorporates heritable phenotypic mutations in the elements. The temporal behavior of the numbers of mutant and wild-type elements is studied, and the expected extinction time of the transposable element family is examined. Our results indicate that, if the mutant can be transposed equally ...

In the offline list update problem, we maintain an unsorted linear list used as a dictionary. Accessing the item at position i in the list costs i units. In order to reduce access cost, we are allowed to update the list at any time by transposing consecutive items at a cost of one unit. Given a sequence of requests one has to serve in turn, we are interested in the minimal cost needed to serve ...

This study provides an insight into the difficulties companies encounter in transposing basic science into commercially viable healthcare technologies, focusing on the issue of establishing a dominant supply model within a highly regulated market. The core issue is how to scale-up customized scientific processes into products able to supply wider and possibly mass, markets. In tracing the devel...

Matrix transpose in parallel systems typically involves costly all-to-all communications. In this paper, we provide a comparative characterization of various efficient algorithms for transposing small and large matrices using the popular symmetric multiprocessors (SMP) architecture, which carries a relatively low communication cost due to its large aggregate bandwidth and lowlatency inter-proce...

Abstract This paper investigates the knowledge of general public on legislative framework relating to wildlife conservation in England, with a specific focus Bern Convention and public's awareness treaty, as well domestic legislation transposing it. By creating publicly available survey, study determined environmental attitudes their regime conservation. Whilst majority displayed pro-environmen...
