genetic drift of germplasm in cultivated wheat is good motivation for studying genetic diversity in its wild relatives. in this study, r-rap, a new retrotransposon-based marker, was applied to assess the structure and genetic diversity of 30 accessions of aegilops sp. originating from different geographical regions of iran. the 15 r-rap primer combinations revealed a total of 338 bands ranging ...

Anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) are primarily generated by Thomson scattering of photons free electrons. Around recombination, probability quickly diminishes as electrons combine with protons to form neutral hydrogen off which CMB can scatter through Rayleigh scattering. Unlike scattering, is frequency dependent resulting generation anisotropies a different spectral depend...

This paper introduces a novel method for predicting the current information need of a web user from the content of the pages the user has visited and the actions the user has applied to these pages. This inference is based on a parameterized model of how the sequence of actions chosen by the user indicates the degree to which page content satisfies the user’s information need. We show that the ...

This lecture discusses the role of language and information theory concepts for data compression and solving the inverse problem. The concept of Algorithmic Information Content (AIC) is introduced and shown to be crucial to achieving optimal data compression and optimized Bayesian priors for image reconstruction. The dependence of the AIC on the selection of language then suggests how e±cient c...

The purpose of this paper was to survey the quantity of information ethics. It sought to answer the question whether or not this information exists in Quranic verses. In this paper, the entire Quran was identified and analyzed with regard to information ethics from the perspective of Quranic scholars, experts and librarians. After various phases of coding and categorization, the Quranic them...
