We propose two new classes of Bayesian measure to investigate conflict among data sets from multiple studies. The first (“concentration ratio”) is used quantify the amount information provided by a single set through comparison prior and its posterior distribution, or according their corresponding distributions. second class (“dissonance”) quantifies extent contradiction between sets. Both are ...

background: investigation on the natural radionuclides 238u, 232th, 40k and natural fallout radionuclide 210po in the prominent plants species of western ghats tropical forest near kotagiri have been carried out as a part of baseline background radiation studies in the forest environment. materials and methods: the prominent plants species of the region evodia roxburghiana and eleaocarpus oblan...

background: a study on the migration characteristics of 238u, 210po, 232th and 40k within the soil to the wild plants in the western ghats were carried out. materials and methods: concentrations of these radionuclides were measured in different depths of soil and from different species by employing gamma ray spectrometer and alpha counter. results: the activity concentration of these radionucli...

background: a field study on the transfer of primordial radionuclides 238u, 232th, 40k and fallout radionuclides 210po in different plant species in tropical forest of western ghats environment is presented. material and methods: the top storey, second storey, shrubs and epiphytic plant species were chosen and concentration of these radionuclides in plant and soil were measured by employing gam...

Many animal species rely on chemical signals to extract ecologically important information from the environment. Yet in natural conditions chemical signals will frequently undergo concentration changes that produce differences in both level and pattern of activation of olfactory receptor neurons. Thus, a central problem in olfactory processing is how the system is able to recognize the same sti...
